 Gossip regarding the Coming meet ing was interrupted this afternoon by reports from the American eXpedi- tion's front that large forces of Car ranza troops were being moved into the Guerrero district.

The en- trance of additional CarrGuza forces into the Guerrero districa was partly explained as designed to prevent any combination of Villistas and other factions against the American troops.
