(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

the statement given out last night by j
Hie Mexican delegation in which the i
American plnu for the establishment
of a provisional government In Mexi
co with a constitutionalist ai its head
was criticised.

ctatcment covers the whole range of
criticism by the Huerta delegates
Coming ?iii the eve of the full con
ference tomorrow which may be post
poned until Saturday, it was Inter
preted us expressing the unalterable
position of the I'nited Stales ia future
parleys.
The : tatement in substance follows:
"The American representatives do
not think it ls conducive lo the in
terest of mediation to publish during
its pendency, the various, plans or the
contentions of the purtles, but as the
Mexican representatives have j given
out a formal statement of their ob
jection* to the appointment of a con
stitutionalist as provisional president,
because among other things un elec
tion conducted by such provisional
president would not represent tho will
of the Mexican people, lt hus been
thought necessary to give a part of the
unrwer loathe "'letter .written. by Mr.
?abasa?*' .' i " ;..?
"la that-answer the American rep
resentatives utterly repudiate any sug
gestions that the American president
has any intent of destroying the elec
toral liberty of Mexico and Insist that
the Mexican representativcd entirely
understand the motives and objects
of thc president, who recognizes the
facts and sees in the past success of
constitutionalist army indisputable
evidence of thc approval of the Mexi
can people. Hut he also sees the full
triumph of that army means an Indef
inite continuance of war. with the suf
fering and bloodshed which every war
involves.
Mexican Note Effects.
"These consequences the president
seeks lo prevent through mediation,
but wo greatly fear the language of
thc Mexican note Implies (hat his ef
forts muy bc thwarted because of un
willingness to have a constitutionalist
as provisional president, even though
that promises the only practical means
by which the horrors of war can be
prevented.
"Hope ls expressed that thc Mexi
can representatives will not further i
oppose the only plan which promises
I peuce, when its rejection means suf
frage and death to so many. We are
convinced that your objections to the
plun itself and your fear of tho ill
consequences that may follow its
adoption are not well founded; a; y I
that lu attacking thc details you lose
sight of the large and controlling mo
tive which from thc beginning of this
trouble has ticen the mind of the pres
ident and which has Influenced the
American representatives In all that
the have said or proposed to the me
diators.
"The American government seeks
only to assist in securing the pacifi
cation ot Mexico It has no special
interest in the method or in the per
son by which that great end is to
be accomplished: and If lt presses for
any particular method, or for the se
lection of a pai tlc ular type of man
lt ls only because lt believes them to
lie the only means to the desired end.
"lt would be easy at this confer
ence to write any agreement' which
many, would consider desirable, but
unless the most excellent plans and
thc most excellent of men are accepted
by thc constitutionalists wo only
would have a paper plau, wholly in
effective to secure peace, in war-worn
Mexico. To bring that war to a close,
to restore peace and constitutional
government is the aim of the presi
dent; and that end only can be at

the constitutionalists, who are not only
in numerical majority, but are the
dominant force in the country.
The Man Important
"If those selected by the mndiutors
to administer the provisional govern
