$3,OO0,0O0 IN AMERICAN
MONEY FOR CARRANZA
To Be Paid by Twine Manufacturers
for Sisal Fibre at Propreso,


WASHINGTON. March 4.-Whle the
warning Mexican factions contend for
supremacy near Tamplco, the Carranza
war chest will be increased shortly by
some $4,000 900 of American money. AL
though this cash, which will be trans
ferred to Yucatan on n United States
warshlp, nomlnally will go to the Yucca
tan Government, officials admitted today
that in reality Carranza now is the Gov
ernment. The cash will be the pool money

Nucatan. II will he paid over as soon as
the sisal is on ships and officials here to-

Carranza is hard to tell If his Tampico
forces should score decided victory over
the Villistas. IL would furnish ready
money that might be used TO reward de-
serters from the Villa cause, officials
here declare. however, that the Tamplco
fighting which Is now confined to sklr-
mishing, should result in final victory for
Villa because of his superior strength
and the fact that his troops are better
equipped than Carranza's and have more
