News that the total casualties "un to

two killed and forty-six wounded, has
caused much uneasiness here.
Lord Lansdowne had previously stated

seven. and the governments policy all
through the uprising has been the re-
verse of frank.
Reports that machine guns had been
used on the Sim Feiners persisted in
spite Of the denials. as did also the in
formation that the revolutionists have
been well armed.
News from private sources, outside
Dublin, declared that the losses among
the revolutionists were heavy, but thew
in turn did considerable damage to Low

This information has rsised s.r5ous
doubt that obregon bears authority TO
confer with representatives Of the United
States as the accredited spokesman for
the Mexican government
The news that Gen. Csrranza has left
Mexico City tends TO confirm the report
sent out by this service on Saturday
night that there had been a breach be-
tween the First Chief and obreEon.
First Statement Uneonnrmed.
The first report was ousHned BY the
statement that It came from reliable
sources but could not be confirmed at
that time. Immediate steps were taken,
however, to get into direct communica-
ton with the capital
This was accomplished on Monday
through a reliable and Influential Aneri-
can business concern which msintaias a
large once in MersCa csty. At the re
quest OF the International News Service
the head Of this concern sent a message
in code to his representative at the cap
itsl asking:
Has any split occurred betweea csr-
rama and obregon7'
The snswere received. also IN Co.'S. was
unsatisfactory. II said:
They are quibbIns."
On Tuesday morning enother rncAsz-s
was forwarded in code asking for dstsfs
OF more specific character. An answer
was received to this communication early
today:
"IHtervention Expected"
Intervention expected. Carranza has
left for Vera Cruz or some point in that
direction. Obregon has gone north"
A third message received this evening
said:
"Espinosa MireIos still here and in
{ charge"
Other dispatches tell that the governor
OF the state OF Vera Cruz has removed
his headquarters from the capital by the
sea 10 Orizaba, which is about hslr way
between Mexico City and the gulf coast.
1t is considered likely that Carranza has
gone there.
The Mexico City dispatches are re-
| garded here as confirming the threatened
disintesration OF the Carranza govern
ment
The opinion has been expressed in mill
tsry circles that unless Gen. Scott is au-
thorized to deal with Obregon as the
actual head or the constltutionaIist cause
the conference must be called of. In
view Of the Developments, it is considered
unlikely that Obreson carries credentials
from Carranza.
