Villa’s Victory at Zacatecas Has Not Served to Bring Factions
Together—Washington Gov’t to Continue Efforts to Per
suade Constitutionalists to Enter Negotiations.
Washington.—After a conference
with Secretary Bryan, President Wil
son authorized the statement that the
Mexican situation was as favorable
as it may be until the Mexican factions
'got together. He refused to discuss
the situation further. While no formal
statement was made at the whits
house regarding the recess of the Ni
agara conference it was made clear
that President Wilson still is hopeful
that mediation will bring about peace
and he believes it already has accom
plished much good. He takes the
view, it was said, that mediation has
• greatly increased the good feeling be
, tween thj United States and all Latin-
American countries and it has shown
that the United States never had any
intention of attacking Mexico with the
idea of territorial aggrandizement.

Washington.—Reports to the con
stitutionalists here that Gen Villa Real
had left Carranza at Monterey and
gone to confer with Gen. Villa at Tor

Washington.—Next moves in the at

through diplomacy depended today
upon Carranza’s attitude toward send

of the Huerta mission. While the
South American mediators had de
cided to take an Indefinite recess it
was assured that the Washington
government would continue its efforts
to persuade the constitutionalists to
enter into some form of negotiations
with representatives of the Mexico
City administration. How long the
mediators would have to await an
answer from Carranza could not be
determined.
Several Weeks.
Several weeks might elapse. It was
suggested, before the constitutionalist
leader could consult with all his mili
tary chiefs over the proposal for the
conference. It was feared in some
quarters that reported dissension in
the ranks of the revolutionaries
might cause delay in completing the

Don’t Heed Ambassador’s
Warning.
Vera Crux.—Fear of famine result
ing from the advance of the consti
tutionalist army and the cutting of the
railroad, rather than anticipation of
disorder in Mexico City, prompted Sir
Lionel Carden's warning to British
subjects to leave the federal capital,

the Englishmen, all of whom had come
dowm on business, that few would take
advantage of the special British re

arrived here today agreed that the
capital was quiet and that there were
no visible indications of unrest there.
