Washington. May 12.-With practi-
cally all of Mexico dominated by rev.
olutionists and Carranza reported a
prisoner, interest here shifted from
the military phases of the situation
to the expected political developments.
Agents of the de facto rulers pro
fessed to believe steps would be
taken Immediately toward the estab-
lishment OF a provisional government.
to be succeeded as soon as possible
by a constitutional regime, Reports
received through official channels as
well as those sent to the revolution.
ary agents continued to indicate alb
sence of serious disorders although
the dispatch of n battleship and al.
ditional destroyers to southern waters
suggested the domination of this gov
ernment to afford foreigners protec-
tion in event of serious trouble at
any of the port towns.
While officials here considered the
revolutionary movement as too un-
tried for judgment, the impression
was manifest that for q time at
least it would not. have TO face the
usual counter revolution. Villa, who
defied CarranZa so successfully was
reported to have made peace with the
winners; Manuel Palaez, ruler Of the
oil regions, was said to have joined
in the movement without reservation,
and there remained no outstanding
rebellious figure. The possibility how
ever, that some one of CarranZa's
loyal officers might fill the role Of
rebel was suggested, although revo-
lutionary agents asserted its i'm
probability. What appeared for a
time to be potential discord was the
recent declaration of General Pablo
Gonzales, that while he was fighting
CarranZa he had not agreed to sup.
port the general revolutionary move
meut. Both official and unofficial re.
ports, however, have indicated either
an understanding between him and
Alvaro Obregon, or the domination
of Gonzales by Obregon. Gonzales was
the first to enter Mexico City but re-
cent reports pointed to Obregon as
the dominant figure. The revolutionists
carry out their program announced
in the plan of Aqua Prieta, no time
will be lost in setting up a provis-
ional government. The promise made
in the announcement was that upon
the occupation of Mexico City and
adherence to the revolutionary plan
of half the state governments, a con.
vention of delegates representing the
different state governments would be
called to select provisional presi-
dent who would without delay call
special session of congress, which it
was announced, the constitution would
proceed TO the election of a presi-
dent.
The existing organization. Adolfo
de la Huerta, governor of Sonora is
the chief executive, chosen recently at
a meeting on Sonora frontier as the
pre-proyisional" president. His selec-
llon was intended, it was explained,
hs being merely for the purpose Of
giving the revolution a temporary
organization. Agents of the revolution
here expected he would proceed to
Mexico City but in the meantime,
Obregon appeared to be functioning
vs. a dictator.
Representatives Of the revolution
sts declared the leaders of the move
nent would not concern themselves
Mt this time with the question Of
recognition, other than recognition
of the de facto character. Leaders
of the revolution, they asserted, rec.
ognize the greater Importance OF re-
storing constitution government. Com
mercial agents have been named for
posts in different foreign cities and
will act as consuls, so far as possible
