Resolution In Mexico Right

Washington, d. c., May ll.-With
practically all of Mexico dominated by
reyolutionists, official interest here
shifted to-day from the military phases
Of the situation to the expected politi-
cal developments.
Agents of the de facto rulers pro-
fessed to believe steps would be taken
Immediately toward the establishment
OF a provisional government to be sue
ceeded as soon as possible by consti-
tutional regime. Reports received
through official channels. as well as
those to the revolutionary agents, con
tinued to indicate absence of serious
disorders although the despatch of a
battleship and additional destroyers to
southern waters suggested the determi-
nation OF this government to afford
foreigners protection in event of Sc
rious trouble.
While officials here considered the
revolutionary movement as too un-
tried for Judgment, the impression was
manifest that Tor time, at least, it
would not have to face the usual count
er-reyolution. Villa, who defied Car
rama successfully, was reported to
have made peace with the winners; /;
Manuel Palaez, ruler of the oil regions,
was said to have joined in the move
ment without reservation, and there
remained no outstanding rebellious
figure.
The possibility, however, that some
of of Carranzas loyal officers
might fill the role of rebel was sug
gested, although revolutionary agents
asserted its iInprobability. What was
thought for time to be a potential
discord was the recent declaration Of
General Pablo Gonzales that while he
was fighting Carranza, he had not
agreed to support the general revoiu-
tionary movement Both official and
unofficial reports, however, have indi-
Gated either an understanding between
him and Alvaro obregon or the domi-
nation of Gonzales by Obregon. Con
zales was the first to enter Mexico City
but recent reports pointed To obregon
a. the dominant figure.

up a provisional government. The
promise made in the announcement
was that upon the occupation Of Mexi-
co City and the adherence to the rev
olutionary plan Of half the state gov
ernment. a convention of delegates rep
resenting the different state governors
would be called to select a provisional
president who would without delay
call special session of Congress which,
in accordance with the constitution,
would proceed to the election Of a
president
Under the existing organization.
Adolfo de Ia Huerta, governor Of So

president His selection was intended,
il was explained a. being merely Tor
the purpose Of giving the revolution q
temporary organization. Agents of
the revolution here expected he would
proceed 10 Mexico CITY, but in the
meantime obregou appeared % be
funetioning as a dictator.
Representatives, OF the revolutionists
declared the leaders Of the movement
would not concern themselves at this
time with the question OF recognition
az other than the de facto character of
the government. The leaders of the
revolution. thev asserted. recognize the
greater imp~Ttsnee of restoring consti-
tutional government
