HITCH IS RUMORED
IN MEXICAN PLANS
Report of Probable Halt in Peace
Negotiations.
SCHEME TO GUST CARRANZA
Bloodless Revolution, Followed by
Probable Election of Francisco de
la Barra as President, OBJ
ject of the Coup.

Washington, July 1S.-The belief
that hitch has developed in negotia-
tons between the United States and
Mexico for settlement of the border
troubles grew when no steps were TAX
en- TO carry out the plan for the APP
pointment of Il commission.
The only activity on the subject by
the state department was in denying
Il statement given out in Mexico City
which said the two governments had
reached an agreement, and that an an
nouncement would be made by the
United States government. The only
announcement the state department
made was that negotiations are pro-
crossing favorably."
Ambassador-designa Arredondo
advised his government by telegraph
Friday of the modified acceptance by
the United States of the commission
plan proposal.
The Mexican representative has re-
ceived no response from his govern
ment and no instructions to proceed
with the negotiations.
The only news from Mexico City
was that contained in news dis
patches stating that General Obregon
again had called attention to the de-
STABILITY of Withdrawing American
troops from Mexico. 1t is apparent
that the question of withdrawal, the
rock on which the Scott-Obregon Dor
der conferences split, will continue
TO hold first place in any further
negotiations between the two govern
mentS.
Coupled with the question of with
drawal, Carranza is expected to in
sist that no other expedition should
be permitted to enter Mexico except
upon the ratification of reciprocal
agreement by the United States that
similar concessions should be made
TO Mexico. In other words, Carranza
would demand that i be written into
a treaty how and when the United
States can pursue marauderS into Mex
leo.
Plan to Gust Carranza.
FL Paso, Tex, July 1S.-An ulti-
matum to leave Mexico is to be pre-
scented to General Carranza and Cen
eral Obregon by the Mexican generals
of northern Mexico, according to re-
ports from Chihuahua City
With the ultimatum backed by al
most the entire military forces of Mex
leo, the leaders are said to believe Il
simple ultimatum to Carranza and
Obregon would be sufficient; that it
would be bloodlesS revolution, to be
followed by Il national election, at
which Francisco de La Barra prob
ably would be chosen president, the
government would be retnanced and
bandits would be completely eXtermi-
mated before the new government
would ask the recognition of foreign
nations.
Rumors of the approaching coup are
gaining wide circulation III Chihua-
hua City, said the arrivals, and it gem
orally seems to meet with popular
favor. The masses realize that under
Carranza they are starving, and they
are willing to undertake any desper-
ate enterprise for the sake of their
families.
CarranZa, too, Is blamed for the con-
tinued presence of American troops
on Mexican soil. The average Next
can believes, according to taday's in
formants, that threat delivered to
Inp
shing entered Mexico would have pre-
vented the entry of the American col
umns.
The purpose Of the new government
will be, it is said, not only to allow
the masses voice in the administra-
ton of government and the promulga-
ton of reforms, but also to call back
the wealthy eXiles, and bring to bear
the entire forces of the republic into
action for the rebuilding of Mexico.
Within a month of the launching Of
the new movement Carranza will be
overthrown is the forecas' n Chihua-
hua Sity. The names coupled with
the alleged revolt are those of Gener-
ais Trevino Murguia, Gales, Nafarette,
Gonzales and Herrera.
Bandits on Way to v. S.
chihuahua City, Mex, July lS.-
Several scattered groups of Nillistas

troops which surrounded them in the
Rio Florido bottoms, and have reas-
sembed at Tinajas and Las Escobas,
on the road to Ojinaga, and are max
ing their way north with the object of
making another raid on the American
border, according to confidential adj
vices to Gen. Jacinto Trevino.

zales in Juarez, villa IS in the vicin'
