CARRANzA IS HOPEFUL
 OF AN EARLY RETURN
 10 PEACE CONDITIONS
Confidently Hopes United States Will Not Intervene, Bonillas
 Declares.

Washington, Oct. 15.-Ambassado Bonillas, who has just returned from Mexico, where he conferred will President Carranza regarding the re. lations between the United States and Mexico, said today that the Mexican president is most optimistic as to the future and expressed the confident hope that the United States would not intervene in Next co. because of the troubles that country Is now having as result of 10 years of revolution.
 Carranza was said by the ambas- sador to be confident also that by the time the rest of the world has regained it's composure, Mexico also would be peaceful and on the road to prosperity.
 Carranza told the ambassador that the Mexican congress was making an honest effort to settle national and international questions in just way. It is the belief of Carranza Ambassador Bonillas said, that the troublesome oil question would be settled so that justice would be done the oil companies and the Mexican nation and that there would be no ground for complaint.
 The ambassador said he returned from Mexico bearing no complaints or protests of any kind. It has been reported unofficially that he would protest against American avi- ators flying over Mexican territory.
 MT. Bonillas asserted that the re- ports of rebel activities in the north of Mexico and that the Carranzistas controlled only those portions of the country near the railroads were dis proven by the fact that the president and a number of high officials of the government, with a small guard, had been able to ride horseback for days across the desert far from any rail ranches, and had not been molested road line on visit to the presidents ln any way.
 President Carranza, he said had expressed great concern regarding the illness of President Wilson. The Mexican chief executive, it was said, was hopeful that Ambassaror Flet- cher would return to Mexico soon, as officia land people of the country felt real affection for him.
