The Blame Will Be on Villa’s Head, Declares First Chief.
Opinion is General in Washington That United States Troops
Will Remain in Vera Cruz Until Controversy is Settled.
Fletcher Wants Four Battleships Retained
Wa*hlnqton, D. C. —General Carranza
todaj predicted forth# flihtiof in
Mexico, according to official advices to
the state department. The first chief
explained to diplomats, who gathered at
his request, that Zapata had refused to
attend or send delegate* to the national
convention called for October Ist. and
that his forces were active In the south.
He also described events le tdlng up to
the rupture with General Villa, saying
the blame for further P.oodshed would
be Villa’s as his own troops would act
only on the defensive.
One of Demsnds.
Official Information has come to
Washington from General Funsion and
others that Zapata and VlUa are work
ing In tiarmony against Carranza and
expect the support of ex-FedeVals. One
of Villa s chief demands has been that
meritorious officers who supported
Huerta be taken Into the new national
army, but Carranza has given such of
flceds no guarantees. It has been re
ported that Francisco Carbajal, former
provisional president, and General Felix
Diaz are ready to support Villa.
General Hugh Scott, assistant chief of
staff of the army and formerly in com
mand on the Mexican border, Ims re
ceived a pathetic letter In this connec
tion from General Francizco Castro, the
aged general just released with Mexican
Federal troops who crossed the border
after the battle of OJlnaga and were In
terned In Texas. General ('astro wrote
that after forty years service in the
Mexican army, during which he work
ed hard to gain every promotion and
had not a blot on his rtcord he now
found himself barred from the ntmy of
hie country.
Wanti Four to Remain.
The American government has taken
no step* ns yet to mend the situation.
Rear Amdiral Fletcher, commander of
the Atlantic fleet, has recommended that
four battles***pa be retained temporarily
In Mexican waters while the remainder
of the fleet goes north for target prac
tice.
The opinion is now general that Am
erican troops will not be withdrawn un

else to do with bringing on the present
conflict. He has been through the
other wars and has seen Japan grow
from what was considered an oriental
state to a high place among the powers
of the world.
til the Villa-Caifanza controversy Is ad
justed.
The following report from General
Funston was received today:
‘'One of the two wires of the cable
company to the City of Mexico is wfrk-
Irig. The present extent of the damage
to the railway (Vera Cruz to the City
of Mexico) Is not yet fully known. Two
freight trains have been turned loose,
one In each direction, and the track torn
up over considerable stretches! There Is
nothing definite as to tho destruction of
fridges though such destruction is
stated to have occurred. if the bridges
are not dotroyed and no resistance is of
fered, railway officials think they may
be able to run trains in three or four
days.
By Revolutionists.
“It Is known that the destruction was
the work of Revolutionists, ex-Federals
under Iligenio Aguilar and Benjamin
Arjunedo. The side of this force is va
riously estimated at from 3,000 to 6,000
men. Candido Agui ar (Carranza’s gen
eral commanding forces outside Vera
Cruzl had sent 1,500 men. practically all
he had at Soledad, on trains in that di
rection. Presumably they will be join
ed by others from Cordoba and Orizaba.
Agents of \ ilia have been here recent
ly conferring wltn ex-Federal officers
and furnishing them with fund*.
Will Isolate 18,000.
“If the break in the railway can be
kept open It will have the important ef
fect of Isolating General Jesus Car
ranza and the 18,000 trops he took to
the Isthmus to garrison the state of tne
southwestern part of the republic.”
In response to Admiral Fletcher’s
recommendations the battleships Texas,
Minnesota and Rhode island have been
ordered to \Vrn ,ux. They probably
will relieve the Arkansas, Deli war* and
North Dakoff Later It is proposed
to withdraw the Kansas and Virginia,
leaving the Texas, Minnesota, Rhode Is
land und Vermont In Mexican waters.
An optimistic view of the situation
was expressed in a statement issued to
night by Gustavo Morelos, one of Car
ranza's private secretaries who ar
rived here recently from Mexico.

Carmnsa, left here tonight for the

EXAGGERATED
Stories of Mistreatment of Red
Cross Nurses On Battlefields
Not True, Writes American.
Washington.—Tales of mistreatment
of Red Cross nurses on European
battlefields are grossly exaggerated,
according to George F. Porter, of Chi
cago, now In London, who wrote tho
American Red Cross here under date
of September 17th of his personal in
vestigations of reports he had heard.
“Atrocities are enormously exagger
ated,” the letter states. “X was told
by an American woman of forty Bel
gian Red Crosa nurses In a London
hospital, each with the thumb and
first two fingers of each hand cut off.
I went to the place and found it a
private house belonging to a woman
Interested In relief work, who had
given her house for nursing and pre
paring garments. She would not see
me, but I finally got an admission
from a responsible person whom I
knew, that he whole story was hear
say and without foundation.
“They did tell me. however, of a
Belgian nurse at the St. Thomas Hos
pital here with the tendons of her
wrist cut. I went there Immediately,
saw the secretary of the hospital, and
found there was a nurse there but
taht Instead of the tendons of her
wrist being cut she had burned her
wrists by the explosion of a spirit
lamp. Here was a typical example of
the way stor.es are fabricated out of
nothing. Responsible English people
are disturbed over the effect the re
ported atrocities may have In Amer
ica."
