 Correspondence.
 Washington, Aug. 9.-Carranza officials here said today the Brazilian minister at Mexico City, the only diplomatic representative the United States has in Mexico, has been with drawn by his government because General Carranza was prepared to ex- pei him from the country as he did Senor Ortega, the Guaremalan minis ter. r-s
 The Brazilian minister reported to the state department today that no reason had been given TOT the expuI- sion of Senor Ortega and that he him : self intended to sail Wednesday for Vera Cruz on French liner for the United States
 Work of Carranza.
 It is believed here that Carranza expelled the Guatemalan and was pre- pairing to expel the Brazilian because of the participation of their countries iE the Pan-American conference in Washington for composing Mexican affairs.
 The development is very disturb ing one for the success of the Pan- American conference. Officials who were hoping Carranza would join a peace conference with his adversaries and meet the efforts oS the Pan- American nations to settle the fac tional strife were much disappointed
 Resentment to Climax.
 It was said by Carranza agents that neither the Guatemalan nor the Brazilian had been on good terms with Sarranza and that it had beeen Car ranza's intuition to hand the Brazilian his passports as soon as he again re- Mexico City. The participa- ton of Brazil and Guatemala in the Pan-American conference, they said, brought Carranza's resentment to a | the dictator of Venezuela took much the same action when offended by foreign national pressing for a settle ment of affairs in his country.
 State department advices today said Carranza was making hurried pre- parations to move his capital from Vera Cruz to Mexico City. Archives and clerks had been moving to the capital since Friday. The impression in Mexican circles here is that Car- ranza proposes to establish himself in Mexico City and probably proclaim himself provisional president in the face of the Pan-American effort to bring the factions together. .-. Warships for Diplomats.
 American naval commanders at Vera Cruz have been ordered to place a warship at the disposal of the two if they wish it. There are three gunboats in that vicinity, the and Machias at Tampico, the Marietta at Progresso and the Sacra- mento, on which the sen-or officer, j McNamee, has his flag, is at Vera Cruz. sF
 Secretary Lansing said he was con- American representation in Mexico City in view or the departure Of the Brazilian minister, but he did not know what would be done. He as- sumed, however that American diplo- n,atic affairs would be in 8 sort of state of quiesence," in Mexico City. The reasons for the Brazilian minis ters visit to the United States at this Lime, the secretary said, were unknown to thim. - 1A a. ,-.#@
 Does Not Believe Report.
 Charles A. Douglas counsel here for Cafranza, said he did not believe the general contemplated giving the Brazilian minister his passports.
 "Regardless of personal differences that may exist between General Car ranza and the Brazilian minister at Mexico City" said MT. Douglas, "the necessity of maintaining friendly re- lations with the government of Brazil and the government of the United States, particularly the latter, would preclude any over. action toward MT. Cordosa.''
 Other representatives of CarranZa here, however, had no hesitancy in sa aying the Brazilian minister was distasteful to Carranza, and they expected his stay in Mexico City would be terminated.
 After a conference with Secretary Rear Admiral Benson cabled McNamee to have an American naval vessel at the disposal of the Brizilian minister when he ar rives at Vera Cruz. .s.
