SPLIT Bill i Villa Will Take the Central Strip of Land Leading to Mexico City While Carranza's Other Divisional Com manders Will Take the East and West - Jaurez Incident First Step in General Plan to Oust ' Carranza Element from Villa's Territory El Paso, Tex., June IS, :The i split between General Carranza and Villa has been complete, it was learned to night on the highest authority. But Villa w ill proceed with his army south toward Mexico City, disregarding Gen era! Natera, whose appointment by Carranza as head of the new Central zone, evidently caused the open breach between the Northern zone command er and the Constitutionalist commander-in-chief. This made clear for the first time the relations between Carranza and Villa. It was officially said that Villa's forceful taking over of the Carranza offices at Juarez .was but a step in a general plan to oust all Carranza ele ments in the territory Villa dominates. While not denying, ne is under Car ranza's orders, Villa is known to have told his chief that he will take the Central strip of country leading to Mexico City while Carranza's other di visional commanders can take the East and West coasts. According to this arrangement there would be two Kiistinct government, both military and civil, in the Northern part of Mex ico held "by the Constitutionalists. Both Civil and Military. One would be Villa's strip, where not only his military leaders- but his own appointed civil officials would hold office. The other would be that direct ed by Carranza inhlgf capacity as mili tary and political chief of the move ment from his capital at Saltillo. " It is not doubted that Generar Alvaro Obregan, commander of the Western Military zone, and General Pablo Gon zalesa in the Bast, will remain firm ad herents of the Carranza party." Villa already is" reported to have ta ken over some of the petty leaders of the Central zone territory south of Torreon. The news that General Na tera, whose troops have been repulsed at Zacatecas, had come north to visit Villa, was regarded as significant. Na tera, previous to his appointment as a lone commander, blocking Villa's movement, had been a staunch Villa man. It also was learned today that Gen eral Chao, who some time ago had been reported ousted Dy Villa, as Governor of Chihuahua, has joined Villa with a column of troops from Parral, although having been ordered by Carranza to proceed to Saltillo.

General Villa, renlied that he was going to Zacatecas hln1 sen witn Ms entire army. Carranza asked Villat to obey his orders, which would have" placed Villa's troops un der command of Natera, - in whose zone Zacatecas is located. After this exchange of telegrams. Villa offered his resignation. Carranza asked that his successor be appointed immediately. Then fol lowed a conference of fourteen gen erals under Villa, who declined to ac cept a new leader. Villa then told Carranza that ie was going, to move south, as he had announced previous ly. The exchange ended. Villa took, over over the Carranza offices and put his own men in. Among the national officers arrested at Jua rez was Scrapio Aguirre, Carranza's treasurer-general, who had been is suing a new series of Constitutional ist money. The money was confiscat ed by Villa s troops. It amounted to more than $1,000,000. Carranza Makes Statement. General Carranza tonight advised Lazaro di La Garza, Villa's agent here, that the differences between S himself and Villa had been adjusted by Car ranza giving his permission for Villa to proceed south to Mexico City, re gardless of the appointment of General Natera as head of the new Central zone. . - . v Carranza said that the forces of General Obregon in the West and Generar Gonzales in the East, would work independently of General Villa's troops. The Constitutionalist .commander concluded by? saying that the misun derstandings -between himself and Villa and any future misunderstandings be tween any of the leaders would be left for adjustment when the three armies meet before the National capital- In the meantime, General Villa will run his own military and civil offices in his territory. - Captured Rebels Spared. On Board U: S.. S. Calltornia,-.Ma-zatlan, Mexl, June 17. By wireless to San Diego, Cal., June 18. The Federal gunboat Guerrero, which sank the Constitutionalist gunboat Tampico, ar rived at Mazatlan today with her col ors at half -mast, in honor of Captain Malpico, of the vanquished vessel, who committed suicide. Constitutionalists picked up after the sinking of the Tampico will not be turned over to the Federal authorities at Mazatlan, the Guerrero's officers having decided to spare their lives. Captain Malpico, formerly was a lieutouarit in the Mexican navy, and toward hfm and his men the Guerrero's crew are said to entertain a brotherly feeling. The United States cruiser New Orleans and the destroyer Perry arrived here with the Guerrero, the New Orleans having six wcAinded men from the TampicoabQard. When the TamplOD began to sink, Captain Malpico and a number of the crew attempted to escape in a launch. The Guerrero gave chase, but did not fire on the boat, which was soon over hauled and captured. ,As the launch was being brought alongside the Guer rero Captain Malpico committed sui cide. TheyConstitutionalists have evacuat ed Pledras Island, in Mazatlan harbor, fearing a 'bombardment by the Guer rero. Alcarez Is Released. Mexico City, June . 18. Jose M.

The prisoner's ,story was that he was drinking one night .last month in a water, front saloon at Nagasaki. Three -strangers offered to treat him. He accepted. The .mext "morning he found himselfat sea, a prisoner. Nobody, understood him when he tried to explain who he was and he was delivered at San Quentln . as James Rogers, alias Peter Grimes, there to serve two' years for a sen tence imposed by the treaty court at Shanghai for forgery.

Will Receive : Deputation of Women Saturday. IS DISTINCT VICTORY Sylvia Pankhurst, Just Out of Hollo way Jail, Took Up Her Ppst on , Steps of House of Corh- mons Yesterday. London, June 18. Premier Asquith has capitulated to the suffragists. He has consented to receive a deputation of East 1 End working women in Downing Street Saturday. Miss Sylvia Pankhurst's attempt to carry out her threat of a hunger strike at the entrance to the House of Com mons unless the premier yielded to the demand that he listen to a delega tion of women was largely responsi ble for the prime minister's decision. The victory is a distinct one, because Sylvia Pankhurst was arrested about a week1 ago for attempting, to lead a procession of East End women to Westminster to demand the audience which Mr. Asquith has promised. Holloway jail opened its doors to night to release Miss Pankhurst, weak and pale, after her eight successive hunger strikes. The militant drove to Westminster and rebuffed Kier Hardie's efforts to persuade her to go home. She was sitting on the steps of the central entrance to Parliament house, propped up with cushions and supported in the arms of friends, when Mr. Lansdury came out with the news that . Premier Asquith had surrender ed. . "The militants' plans were arranged exclusively. When the leader emerg ed from Holloway jail on the arms of two attendants, a motor car was wait ing filled with cushions. Two nurses took her in charge. A group of mili tants had . gathered outside Westmin ster and when the car drove up they cried : "Here's Sylvia." A large force of police was on diK ty, but they made nt objection when the automobile entered the palace yard under Big Ben. This is the mem bers' private entrance and always has been forbidden ground to the mili tan' i. Crowds began v- assemble and the police were reinforced, v. ;- i Acted as Go-Between. . Kier " Hardie "emerged from the house bareheaded and ialked ,'with Miss Pankhurst. Then, with the chief of police, Mr. Hardie made three jour neys "between the House and : the car, obviously acting as a go-between in the negotiations. , - Sylvia talked with mm in a weas wnispej: . Seemingly the independent, lapor member's efforts ; were a failure, for after the third conference Miss Nora Smythe, Miss Pankhurst's lieutenant, announced to the bystanders : "We are going to the House of Com mons to sit on the steps." - Mr. Hardie - explained ,-to ; the crowd that the militant leader had request ed admission to the house which was refused. The car started and drew up at the public entrance-to the House of Commons. ' Women carefully ar ranged the cushions on the steps and lifted Sylvia-out, -while "the police shoved back the spectators. Miss PankhuYst ' was not molested. Then Mr. Lansbury appeared with the news of Premier Asquith's " decision The position on the steps then was abandoned by -Miss Pankhurst, who was carried to her car and driven away. Several . members witnessed her departure and the "crowd gave a cheer.. The chief liberal whip after wards issued a statement to the news papers - saying Mr. Asquit gave - his consent to an, audience several hours before Miss Pankhurst visited the pal ace yard. The statement added that' she had not been: fed forcibly during her last Incarceration because she was too weak. - F DOLLARS IS AVAILABLE Farm Loan Clause of Reserve Act in Force. National Banks Can Lend Money on Improved , Farm 'Lands, Accord ing to Comtroller o the Currency Williams WashingtonjTune 18.- Comptroller of the t.

Electoral Liberty of . Mexico v" . " ; Niagara Falls, Ont., June 18. The American delegation to the Mexican mediation conference tonight made public a statement, issued with the. consent of "the Washington govern ment, replying to the statement giv en out last night by the Mexican delegation, in which the American p-an for the establishment of V pro visional government in Mexico with a Constitutionalist at its head was crit icized. Suggestions that President Wilson bad any intent to destroy the elec toral liberty of Mexico are utterly re pudiated by the American represen tatives. The statement covers the whole range - criticism by the Huerta delegates. Coming on the eve of the iuil conference tomorrow, which may be postponed until; Saturday, it was interpreted as expressing the unalter able position of the United States in future parleys. v The statement in substance follows: The 'American representatives do not think it is conducive to the in terests of mediation to publish dur ing its pendency, the various plans or the contentions of the partie, but as the Mexican representatives have given out a formal statement of their objections to the 'appointment of a Constitutionalist, . . as . provisional president because among other things an election conducted by such a pro- visional government would not repre sent, the will of the Mexican people, it has been thought necessary to give a part of the answer to the. letter written by Mr. Rabasa. Suggestions Repudiated . "In that answer- the American 3 re presentatives" utterly r. repudiate any suggestions that the American Presi dent has any intent of destroying the electoral liberty oi Mexico and .insist that -ihe Mexicanrersentatlves en tirely understand "t the objects of the President who recognizes the facts an'd -sees in the past success of the Constitutionalist - - army indisputable evidence of the approval of the Mex ican people. But he also sees that frll triumph of that army means an inaeflnit'e continuance of war, with the suffering and bloodshed and death which every war involves. "These consequences the President seeks to prevent through mediation but we ! greatly fear the language of the Mexican note implies that his ef forts may be thwarted because of un willingness to 'have a Constitution alist as provisional president, even though that promises the only prac tical means by which the horrors of war can be prevented. "Hope is expressed that the Mex ican representatives will not further oppose the only plan which promises peace, when its rejection means suf fering and death to so-many. We are convinced that your objections to the pan itself and your fear of the ill consequences that may follow its ad option are not well founded, and that in attacking the details you lose sight of the large and controlling motive vhlch from the beginning of this trouble nas been in the mind of this President an'd- which has influenced the American representatives in that all that they have said or proposed to the mediators. Seeks Only To Assist 'The American government is'eeks only o assist in securing the pacifica tion of Mexico. It has no special in.erest in the method or in the her eon by which that great .end Is to bel accomplished and" if it presses tor any particular method or for the selection of a particular type of. man it is on ly . because it believes them to be the only means to the desired end. "Ijt would be easy at - this confer ence to write an .agreement which many would consider desirable, but unless he . most excellent of plans and the most excellent of men are accepted by the Constitutionalists we only would have a paper , plan, whol ly ineffective to secure peace in war worn Mexico. To bring that was . to a close, to restore peace and consti tutional government , is the aim of the President, and that end only can be attained by consulting the just wishes or the Vonstitutionalists, who are not only in numerical majority but are the dominant force ;n the country. "If those selected by the mediators to administer the 'provisional govern ment have the confidence of the Con stitutionalist a long step will' have been taken towards the pacification of Mexico without furnishing any oc casion for., alarm to those Mr. Habez represents for if the plan is accepted both by general Huerta and General Carranza tne cessation of arms fol lows and a provisional government is established. To call an election at which every qualified voter may cast ioice, while if the plan endorsed by the Mexican representatives should be' adopted and a neutral-should be chosen we would have Becured no practical results but still be confront ed with the insurnj3mtable - fact that the Constitutionalists, now al- In view of opposite views, express ed by the: American and Mexican dele gates in their . public utterances, the next conference, -it r was. admitted, would bring perhaps the "most critical and delicate moment of the mediation proceedings. . The mediators intend to submit five or six names which, they have selected. out of a big list. Among these may be found one who is suitable, but the -atmosphere was so pessimistic " tonight. , it - would- .cause general, surprise ' if this occurred, ; The WHOIiE KTJ1VIBEB 18,071. - '- ' f - .

While the American delegates have not entirely lost hope of the possibil ity of a change in sentiment at tomor row's meeting, the general feeling was ' that mediation could not last much longer because, of the Jrreconciliable position now taken - by the American and Huerta delegates in public state ments. ; v Delicate Situation. Washington, June 18. Administra tion officials tonight characterized the Mexican situation as extremely -. deli cate. . . This comment referred particularly r to the mediation conference which, will be resumed tomorrow at Niagara Falls. It also applied to conditions in Northern. Mexico growing out of- the ; action of Gen. Villa in .. demanding complete military control in the cam paign against Gen. Huerta. Hope for the-success of mediation, however, was- not abandoned accord ing to persons in close touch with the administration. - This hope was said to be largely based on developments in the Constitutionalist ranks, the view being held here that personal squabbles among Carranza's followers had been nipped, enhaneing the chanc es of an agreement being reached -on a provisional president of Mexico and . , of checking internal Mexican hostili ties. Huerta's Niagara Falls dele gates having failed to induce the' Unit ed States to . accept their so-called compromise candidate ' for the , provi sional presidency,. It was - reported here, might, yield to some one suggest ed by the United States, even if he bore the stamp of. the Constitutional ists, in order to hold up the military campaign against Mexico City. . Credence was iveh here tot reports from the Mexican border that villa had- proposed to Carranza that there be . a division of civic and military operations. Villa to command the mill- tary and Carranza to remain in charge of governmental forces. Messages are known to have come from Villa to friends in the United StateB in which he explained tnat his action In impris oning some of carranza's subordinates was not a direct slap- at the first chief, but merely to check more serious rup tures. Several messages were-received at the State Department indicating that diffrences Detwen - Carranza and Villa had been adjusted. The chief subject discussed today in official quarters and also among Carranza's agents in Washington, was the action of Gen,' Villa in Chihuahua. Irnfomation ; reaching officials here with respect to the arrest of Constitu tionalist officials theft by Villa's or der, was that Villa' acted within his authority. . It was asserted that Vil la acted in his capacity as governor of Chihnahua.
