spect to the note of President Wilson

sible in the interests of conciliatine

sent messages to the revolutionary
chfers and am doing everything possi-
BILE to get Carranza to stop fighting
so that we are acting practically on

Tagle Agreed Upon.
Manuel Vasquez Tagle, minister of
justice nj the cabinet Of Madero-who
has taken no part in revolutionary ac-
tivity in Mexico since Huerta's coup In
February. 1913-has been practically
agreed upon by leaders of the Villa
Zapata coalition as acceptable to them
for the provisional presileecy should
an agreement with the Carranza fac.
tion be possible
Tagle was the only cabinet minister
who did not resign when Huerta over
threw the legally elected Madero ad-
ministration. He left Mexico City then,
and has since lived in the United
States. In official and diplomatic quar-
ters there has been much discussion of
Tagle. especially because the United
States has been desirous of according
recognition not only to a provisional
president agreed upon by the factions,
but one who could be brought into pow-
er by continuation OF the legal ma
chinery existing before the Huerta
regime.
Watching Developments.
At present officials are watching
closely political developments in Mexi-
CO. Gen. Villas overtures for peace,
made directly to Gen. Carranza, have
not yet borne fruit, but such informa.
tion as has reached here from Vera
Cruz indicates that the first chief is
unwilling to enter into any conferences
with his adversaries, insisting that his
forces will soon obtain a military su-
premacy which will merit recognition
from the United States and foreign
powers.
Efforts of the Villa-Zapata element to
make peace with their former allies,
the Carranza faction. are attracting the
attention Of officials. but SO far as Is
known no pressure Is being exerted by
the United States. the attitude of pas
sive observation of developments being
maintained for the present.
Bonilla Urges Action.
Manuel Bonilla, who was minister of
communications in the cabinet of Ma
dero, and former governor of Sinalao,
gave out a statement urging that Gen.
Villas plan for pacifcation be met half
way by Gen. Carranza. He came to
Washington from Gen. Villas head
quarters, bearing a note to the United
States commenting favorably on Presi-
dent Wilson's pronouncement for uni
fcation of the warning factions.
The State Department has made rep
reservations to both the Carranza and
Villa authorities warning them against
molesting foreign oil properties which
have been menaced at Tuxpam. Sir Ce-
Gil Spring-Rice, British ambassador,
who has been presenting the case Of
British interests in the Mexican oil
fields before the United States. again
conferred today with Secretary Lam
sing on the subject.
The British memorandum on which
the action of the United States au-
thorities was based embraces reports
tending to show that conditions at
Tuxpam were serious. Several British
subjects recently were killed near Tux
