 tervention Passed

Vera Cruz, Mexico, October 1o.--Gen- Pan-American conference at Washington had decided to recommend recognition of his government from Carranza agents at Washington The first chief received the congratulations of his associates at his !headcuarteas The aeleerams werc road in the theatres and received with great enthusiasm.
 General Carranza will depart tomorrow on a trip through the northern states. ranza said:
 This news puts an end to all efforts of our enemies to bring about foreign in- tervention. They continue their intrigues and their attacks in the newspapers, but recognition of the constitutionalist gov- ernment naturally will rob them of the fruit of their efforts
 When peace Is absolutely restored md tranquility really established throughout the republic, amnesty will be granted to all these persons, but not now. To per init them to return at this time would be to endure their machinations within the republic.
 1.-The immediate result of this news will be a great moral strengthening of con- stitutionalism and corresponding dis heartening of opposing factions. There will be no more formal battles. Fighting of that sort already has ended. but natur- n hn breaks and lawlessness must be con tinued for greater or less time.
 Already these bands are disintegrat- ing rapidly and their chiefs are surren- dering. This development will bring the surrender of the leaders of the opposition, since the news of recognition will remove from them further hope of success. This appljes not only to those who are actually fighting in the field, but to those enemies of the cause who are intriguing. both within the country and abroad.
 News of the coming recognition is pleasing, since 1t will renew and strengthen friendly relations between Mexico and other nations

 Mexico City, October 10.-News of the decision to recognize the Carranza gov- ernment was received with great joy by the military element here.

 Means Triumph For Revolution
 Washington, october 10.-M. Diaz Lom- bardo, foreign minister of the convention government, and Enrique Llorente, the Villa agent here. tonight issued the fol- lowing statement: l3
 "The decision reached by the Pan- American conferees means that the Amer ican nations recognize the triumph of the revolution begun and led by President Madero and continued by Carranxa and Villa This fact is source of sa tisfac- ton to all who have contributed their ef- forts in the struggle against Cientifco rule.
 Our opinion that 1t is very doubtful whether the c0nferees have acted wisely in declaring that the Carranza faction is the only one with the essentials of rec ognition as the de facto government. in- as-much as that decision is based on re- cent military successes which cannot be regarded as conclusive or permanent. The conventionist faction has yet at it's dis posal powerful elements, and has the ad- vantage. of possessing territory within the boundaries of which there are no Car ranxa forces.
 ''The decision of the conferees has sur prised us because it is not consistent with the precedent established by the Amer ican governments which took part in the eonfsrehca The policy previously fol- :. eounAluusl - 3ass xaehp
