Havoc to MeXlcO After
 Fall of Madero
 San Antonio, Tex, Jan. 24.-Cop- i 1 es of official telegrams that indi cate Carranza's refusal to recognize l Huer,a had for it's basis a more per sonal interest than averaging of the blood of Madero" were placed in evi dence at the last hearing here today l of the senate subcommittee lnvesti- ! gating the Mexican situation. The correspondence tends to show it was not until Huerta took Carranza, then | governor of Coahuila, to task for ex i torting money from banks at Saltillo that he determined to attempt by revolution the restoration of the constitutional order. A message to the American state department from the consular office then at Saltillo, was that Carranza had decided to recognize the new government but, the correspondence 1 indicated, it was sent without i knowledge of the controversy begin ming between Carranza and Huerta. i The dispute was concerning the
  former government had appropriated annually certain amount of money for that purpose and regarding the continuance of the plan it is known Madero and Carranza had disagreed The dispute was revived after Huer- ta assumed control of the govern ment. 1t was from the local organi zation that many of the leaders of the army Carranza later recruited, came. Among them were Pablo Gonzales, Santos Gov, Lucio Blan co, Francisco Cos and Eulio Cutter res The controversy under the Huerta administration began Febru- ary 22, 1913, with the formal notifi- cation of Carranza by Alberto Gar cia Grandados, Huerta's secretary, and subsequently, executed by the | Carrancistas, that Huerta was the president and interim and called up- on him to assist in the re-establish- ment of peace.
 Conference by Wire. I Suggesting a telegraphic confer ence Carranza sent the following message in reply:
 "I have just received your at- tentive message of the 22nd, inst. 2 to which I refer. To assist in the establishment of peace in the re- public and to solve the delicate situ- ation caused by the existing rela- tions between the federal govern , ment and those of this state where in conflict might occur, permit :, me to propose to you a telegraphic conference naming the day and hour
 that yoy may be pleased to make"
 This message was sent on Febru- ary 25, seven days after the fall of f the Madeira government and three r days after the death of President ', Madero and was dispatched after he had sent two personal replies to the
 Mexican capital as shown by the . following telegram dated February ] 24:
 "Your attentive message of yes terday. To treat the matters to , which I referred in my anterior .. message, MT. Elisco Arredondo, mem- a Der of the general congress, will leave tomorrow for your city repre- = senting this government and l also
 consider it proper that MT. Rafael I R. Arizpe, who resides in your city, 1 capacity, and to whom I have this - day addressed letter with that purpose in view. I hope the affairs f concerning which the aforesaid gen. | tlemen will speak with you will be
 arranged satisfactorily"
 On February 27, Arredondo and
 Arizpe sent Carranza the following
 message:
 "We have just had a conference in
 all things satisfactory with the min-
 ister of the interior and tomorrow
 we will carry it thru with the hon. orable president of the republic"
 On the next day Arredondo anc j. Arizpe wired Governor Carranza as if follows:
 t. Two Conditions.
 ). "We had a cordial conference witf 1t MT. President and the minister o1 J. foreign affairs and minister of tho .t| interior. It has been agreed to pre- .t serve the constitutional order in oul
 state; that the federal government L shall pay the military forces, they ,f being subject to the orders of thu 8 same under the management of th'
 minister of interior. The othe,
 points were also agreed upon also b!

Tomorro, in MT. Arredondo leaves and will in to form you in detail"
 is From the terms of the above mes ne sage it is contended there were tw Id conditions which Carranza sought t on impose upon General Huerta in re as turn for the formers recognition 0
 Huerta as president of Mexico.
 They were:
 That Carranza be permitted to re
 main as governor of Coahuila, an nd that the federal government shoul " agree to continue the auxiliary fol al ces together with the federal sul at sidy.
