Washington, May 6.--Gen. Car
ranza's approval of the Scott Obregon
agreement, announced in news dis
patches tonight, is said to clear the
way for more thorough cooperation
between the American and Mexican
troops in the campaign against Villa.
1t already has been approved by Pres
ident Wilson.
Details of the agreement never
have been made public, but it is ur
derstood to provide for more exte
sive use Of the railroads by the
American forces and to establish a
definite understanding on many ques-
tions which officials here and in Mex
leo City have feared might lead to
clashes between the Americans and
the Carranza soldiers. Reports that a
definite date had been set for with
drawal OF Gen. Pershing's expedition
have been officially denied,
No official notification of Gen. Car
ranza's decision had reached Wash
ington late tonight and officials were
in ingorance as to the minor points
of the plan on which the first chief
was reported as reserving decision. No
real obstacles to an agreement Is be-
llieved to have been interposed.
Negotiations for a formal protocol
covering the subject of the expedition
are expected to be resumed here af-

ben ratified. While the latter deals
