SEPARATION MUST BE COMPLETE ONE MUST BURY HATCHET OR FAIL On Complete Settlement of Differences Between Car ranza and Villa, Depends Success of Constitutionalists Cause. Immediate Action Es sential Washington. Representative Kent, of California, told the pres ident and Secretary Bryan today he had telegraphic information from Mexico, that General Car ranza was about to leave his headquarters and flee to Laredo, Texas. Mr. Kent did not give the name of his informant Cause In Jeopardy. El Paso, Texas. —The success or failure of the constitutionalists cause depends upon a complete set tlement oT the differences between General Carranza, political head of the Mexican revolutionists and Gen eral Villa, his chief military leader, in the opinion of prominent members of both factions here who today anx iously awaited developments follow ing the dispatch last night of a Joint appeal for harmony to both leaders. With the belief general here in constitutionalist circles that the fed erals at Zacatecas have been rein forced recently and that they are de termined to defend the city to the last the hope of speedy capture of this important point is far from sight. Only Immediate action on the part of the combined available constitu tionalist forces will accomplish this, in the < timutton of revolutionary leaders. The rumor that the cargo of the steamship Antllla, which was landed for the constitutionalists at Tamplca. a fortnight ago, had fallen Into the bands of Villa’s lieutenants, has served to Intensify the feeling of tin easiness. Hopes of a settlement of the reported breach are based upon the concerted appeal of leaders of both factions to bury all di'ferences for the advancement of plans to overthrow the Huerta government.

Second, Villa agTees to recognize Carranza as his superior, provided Carranza uncords him recognition as supreme military chief. Third, the promotion of officers and the disposition of their commands to be In Villa s hands. Else, Resignation. Constitutionalists expressed their be lief that If these demands were grant ed, Villa would proceed with the cam paign and take personal command of the forces In the field. Otherwise, they said, they thought he would per sist In his resignation.
