CARRANZA
CORNE RED AND
WILL BE TAKEN
Dispatches Relative to His Cap
ture Do Not Agree
HE HAS BUT 1000 TROOPS
Carraiza Undertook to Reach Vera
Cruz But Was Stopped ~
Miles Distant.

While advices from Mexico on the
revolutionary situation there are fra
gmentary and conflicting they cast
considerable doubt on reports that Car.
rama has been made prisoner.
The revolutionary leaders claiming
that CarranZa has been made captive
at point near Apizaco give few de
tails OF the capture except to declare
the entire convoy has been taken with
the President. Three generals, Muir
Guai. Orquizo and Bartiagan were exc
cuted and another general wounded.
II is added that Carranza is order
ed to return to Mexico City with all
consideration and that none of his par.
ty was injured or mistreated.
1t would appear that if CarranZa is
still at liberty, his situation, accord
ing to Vera Cruz dispatches is pre-
carious. Other reports declares that
General Aguila, Carranza's son.in.law
lost his life fighting in the state of
Vera Cruz.
Mexico City, May 1l-Despatches
report the situation quiet with Gen.
Obregon's troops in full possession.

little bloodshed, all advices indicate.
The associated revolutionary leaders
desire to bring about a change in
Mexico's foreign policy, looking to the
advancement of friendly relations
with other powers.

rama, whose train was stopped at Ap-
pizao by the revolutionary forces Sat

men at San Marcos, a railroad juno.
tion point twenty-seven miles north
