All reports to the state department indicate that the army and navy are supporting the provisional government.
 U. S. Diplomat Reports
 Ambassador Francis at Petrograd summarized the situation today in the following cablegram:
 The last week has seen the most astonishing revolution. Two hundred millionpeople who have lived under absolute monarchy for 1000 years and who are now engaged in the greatest war in history have forced their em- peror to abdicate for himself and his son and induced the brother to whom was transferred imperial authority, to accept on condition that a constitu- tional assembly of the people will ex- ercise power of authority of govern ment-

 The United States always looks with favor upon a movement for the extension of republicanism and has been eager to be among the first to welcome into the family of nations new governments known to be found ed upon the will of the people.
 The Russian movement consequent ly has been received with deep sym pathy here where the quality of the present leaders is well known and highly esteemed As yet no official action has been taken because it is not known that the revolutionary movements set in motion have entire ly quieted down into a stable govern ment.

MURCU|A WEARS SPLIT WITH
 CARRANzA
Makes Demand For Money, Ammunition and More Troops and Threatens to Resign. Chihuahua City Endangered.
fBy Review Leased Wirel

FL PASO, March 20.-Fifteen hun dred Carranza troopers are patroling the Mexican Central Railroad between Terrazas station and Laguna, a dis tance of B miles, to prevent the com munication line to the border being cut by the Villa rebels reported near Santa Clara, southwest of Chihuahua City.
 The mounted patrols were seen rid ing along both sides of the. railroad track last night by an American re- fugee who arrived here today. He re- ported conditions in the state capital quiet although there was a strong feeling of apprehension as to what Villas next move would be. He said there were two thousand Yaqui In- dians from Sonora encamped at the Chihuahua shelter, six miles from the city, and practically all of the de facto troops were concentrated in the city.
 Murguia Makes Demand.
 The American brought the report to the border that General Francisco Murguia, the northern commander, ldu q upOA CarranZa for money with which to pay his troops, ammunition for conducting his campaign against Villa and more men to take the place of those killed at Rosario.
 Threatens to Resign.
 As an alternative General Murguia threatened to resign, the refugee said. An attack upon Chihuahua City at this time by Villa is not expected there, the American added. Two hun dred of the de facto command which was defeated at Rosario on March II have reached Ascension, Chihuahua, report from the capital stated to- night, reducing the number of the gov ernment losses at that battle to six hundred.
 Bandits Near Texas.
 Villa rebels have again become ac- tive near the American border. Thirty were seen at the San Juan mine. F miles south of Fort Hancock, Texas. Saturday by an American who talked with them. They said they had re- ceived orders not to molest American property. These rebels are a part of Holguin's command, which robbed an American mine near Villa Ahumada last week. They are believed to be near the border to get ammunition. It was discovered today that 100000 rounds of ammunition was stored in Fl Paso and is believed to be intended for the Villa forces.
 General Jose Murguia, the com- mandant at Juarez, left for Chihuahua City tonight on military business, to be gone several days.

"Some time ago referred to the

I am now in position to say that there
is more substance than usual behind
the present gossip of successes against

Whether anything has gone wrong

Hun crews dislike the task, the fact re-
mains that there have been surrenders.

The government Of the United States

This is an extr emely important factor
