BREAK BETWEEN REBELS VERIFIED -^--~ AMERICANS ANSWER STATE MENT WHICH WAS GIV EN OUT WEDNESDAY WANT A REAL MAN Provisional President Must Bc ; Other Than Milk Sop to Guar antee Control in Mexico (Dy Associated Press.) t; PBBO, Texas, June is.- Tho split between Generals Carranza and Villa has been complete, il way learned to night on . the -highest authority. Hut Villa will proceed with his army south toward Mexico City, disregarding Generul Natara, whose appointment by Carranza aa brad of the new Cen tral zone evidently caused the open breach between the northern stone commander and the Constitutionalist commander-in-chief. This made clear for the fi ret lime the relation^ between Carranza and Villa. It was raid officially that Vil la's forceful tubing over the Carranza ornees nt Juarez was but u step in a general plan to oust all Carranza el ements in the territory Villa domi nates. While nut denying that he ls under Carranza's orders. Villa ls known to have told hit" chief that he will taite tue central, strip of country leading to Mexico City, while Carranza's other divisional cpmmanders can take the east and went coasts. According to thir arrangement, there would be two distinct government?, both military and civil, in the northern part of Mexico held by the Constitutionalists. One would be Villa's strip, where not only his military leaders, but his own appointed civil officials would bold office. The other would be that directed by Carranza tn bis capucity as military and political cl.icf of the. movement from the capital ut Saltillo. It ic. not-doubted that.'General Alvera Obregon,. commander. of. the west 'mil'* lUarjt..,2onoj-/aild General Pablo ??. GenV 'zaletvin the east, will remain firm ad h?rants ol the Carranza party. Villa Is already reported to have ! taken some of thc petty leaders of the j central zone territory south of Tor-i reon. The news that. General Katera I and his troops have been repulsed "ut Zacatecai--, have come north to visit Villa, was regarded ar significant. .Valera previous to his appointment, as a zone commander, blocking Vil la's movement, bad been u staunch Villa man. It waa also learned today that Gen eral chao, who sometime ago had been reported ousted by Villa as governor of Chihuahua, has joined Villa with a column of troops to proceed to Saltil lo. The authoritative narrative of what occured between Carranza and Vil la ls as follows: ..' \ On Saturday Cari unza ordered Vil la to eend 5,000 men to the assistance of Xatera, under the command of one of Villa's generals. General Villa re plied that lie, war going to Zacatecas himr.clf with his-entire army. .Car ranza asked Villa to obey his orders, which .would have placed Villa's troops under' command of Nuteru, in whose zone Zacatecas . Ts located. After this exchange of telegrams. Villa ottered his resignation. Carran za asked that bis successor bc ap pointed llmmediately. Then followed A conference of fourteen generals un der Villa, who declined to accept a now leader. Villa then told Carran za that bc was go'.'?g to move south as he had announced previously. The exchango ended. -Villa took over thc Ca Tanza ornees and put bia own men in. Among the national officers arrested at Juarez, was Scipio Agc Jr re. Carran ia's treas urer-genoral.-who had been issuing a new'sellos of Com t kuti on al ist mo ney. The money was confiscated by Villa's troops. It amounted to more than $1,000,000. General Carranza tonight advised Lazaro Ol La Garza, Villa's agent hore, that the difficulty between him self, and yilla had been adjusted by Carranza giving his permission for Vil la tb'proceed south to Mexico City, regardless of -the appointment of G?n ?rales tera as head of the new cen tral zone, y Carranga said that the forces of Gen. Obr?gon in the west und Gen. Gonzalo, sin the east, would work luuepenaen* ly bf General Villa's troops. The cpnstltulonalist commander con cluded by saying that- the misunder standing between himself and Villa, and apy future misunderstandings be tween any .of the leaders, would be left for adjustment when the three ar mies meet before the national capital. . In the meantime General Villa will run his own military and civil offices In his-territory. Challenged to Dael.
