CARRANZA TO ESTABLISH H|S
 CAPITAL IN MEXICO C|TY

 After the downfall of Huerta, Mexi- co City, on account of it's poor strate- eic position, was deemed unsafe and CarranzI established his headquarters at Vera Cruz There he remained until last fall the capital in the meantime being occupied alternately by Zapata the so-called convention government and Carranza forces. When CarranZa left for a tour of northern Mexico it was supposed that lis itinerary would lead him to Mex iCo City but he stopped at QuetetarO and early in January made that place his provisional capital Many of the departments of the government al ready are being maintined in the capital.
 John L. Dodgers, special agent of the state department, still was at Quere- taro today, but he probably will pro ceed to Mexico City with CarranZa.

MEXICO CITY, April 13.-General Venuestiano Carranza accompanied by a number of his cabinet officers and other high officials in the govern ment, arrived in the outskirts of the city this afternoon. The trains bear ing the party were halted near the suburb of Tlalnepantla, eight miles distant from the city proper which will not be entered by them tonight The length and other details concern ing the trip have not been made pub lie. In the party in addition to Cen eral Carranza are minister of war ObregOn, foreign minister Aguillar, minister of the interior Acuna, and a number of state governors and high military officers.
 Unofficial reports say that Gen eral CaTanZa may continue his jour ney to Vera Cruz and from there to the city of Merida and the Yucatan peninsula, a visit which he has long planned. The reports also say that General Obregon probably will re main in Mexico City, directing the various military campaigns from this point.
 Comment on General CarranZa' $ note requesting the Washington gov ernment to withdraw the American troops from Mexican territory was very generally published in afternoon newspapers. most of which causticaily criticize what is characterized the Yankee failure"
 The Accion Mundial, a daily with
 socialistic tendencies, characterizes
 the punitive expedition as a complete
 martial and moral failure.
 The Yankee soldiers" say the
 newspapers, are incapable of re sisting the penalties of campaign
 in Mexico. The hot sands and ire
 quent violent climatic changes tel
 the story of today's tiny campaign | The prediction is everywhere made
 that the Apericans will not catcf Villa and the stand of the first chie1 1 in demanding the retirement is Vi gorously applauded.

 This latter statement is indirect contradiction to the dispatches of CarranZa and Aguilar which declared the CarranZa troops attempted to hold back the Mexican mobs. A re- port to the state department from Consul Letcher at Chihuahua, for
 warded through General F'unston said there had been some trouble" at Parral, when the American column was fired upon by Mexican civilians.
 The state and war departments, receiving from the Mexican embassy their first information that the clash had been a serious one, at once sent out orders for full report. 1t had not been received tonight
 Upon President Wilson rests the decision of what the effect of the at tack upon the administrations policy shall be- whether it shall have q bearing on consideration of Carranza's s proposal for the withdrawal of the troops, and finally whether Carran- za's proposal shall be accepted. re- jected or negotiated. Members of his official family indicated tonight that it was practically certain no imme- diate order for withdrawal of the eX- petition seeking Villa would be is sued. The subject will be laid before the cabinet tomorrow. Because of the serious turn in the Mexican situ- ation and the gravity of the subma- rine issue with Germany, the pres- 1 dent cancelled an engagement to go to New York tomorrow night and speak there Saturday night.
 i Congress will not have an oppor- tunity to show it's feelings until it meets at noon tomorrow News of the attack on American troops

 PARRA[ AFFAIR
Republican A. P. Leased Wire1

FL PASO April 13.-Gen. Alvaro Oregon, Mexican minister of war, has telegraphed a message to Gen. Gabriel Gavria, commander of the Juarez garrison, giving details of the shooting of American sildiers by cit iZens of Parral.
 Gen. Obregon's dispatch. dated Que retaro, April F, reads: My depart ment, desiring to bring to the knowl- edge of the army the lamentable in cldent occurring yesterday in the city of Parral. Chihuahua, between the people of that city and an American force belonging to the troops engaged in the pursuit of Villa, communicates this to you in order that in your turn you may make it known to your sub ordinates and give it also to the press so that the people may know the facts as they are"
 At 1 o'clock in the afternoon an American force composed of l50 men entered that city and the authorities of the same notified the commander of the said force that the Americans should vacate it.
 The commander of the Americans began to carry out the wish of the authorities when the people of the city organized a meeting of protest against the entrance into the city of the American troops, without permis- sion.
 The civil authorities tried to avoid conflict but their forces were not sufficient to handle the situation. In the friction which resulted one Amer ican soldier was killed and several citizens were wounded.
 The municipal president Jose de Ia Luz Herrera and the constitutionalist generals Garcia, LoZana and Herman deZ, with some of their officials and troops, tried to calm the people and succeeded, thus avoiding an incident that might have taken on very large proportions. The American force left the city.

 General Gomez said that his column is amply provisioned and equipped for q long hard campaign, but the order of Obregon which has been antici- pated for several days. has not yet arrived.
 It is the personal opinion of Gomez that he will he sent into Chihuahua with his veterans to take up the trail of Villa where the American punitive expedition drops it. He expressed confidence that the Americans would withdraw from Mexico since it ap- pears certain that Villa has escaped, at least temporarily
 The orders for the movement must come from General Obregon, accord ing to General Gomez as he alone has the power to move troops from one state to another. His movement as far as the Chihuahua border was directed by General P Elias Gales, military governor of Sonora.
