He formally declares Villa. Zapata and other generals do posed from their commands. This proclamation, which is virtual, ly the same as the manifesto Gutier rez offered to issue two weeks ago, while he still was in tho capital, lt General Obregon and others would join him in a movement to eliminate Villa and Zapata, accuses both of the latter officers of murder, brigandage and highhanded Insubordination, de . clares Independence of Carranza as well, and calls on the Mexican na tion for support Tttt.l. -? ... - . _ - "im era rei KI iuuuB&uu arnica troops, according to consular dis patches, Gutierrez has moved north' from Pachuca and it ls believed hs ls heading for San Luis Potosi. His action brings three rival factions into the field of Mexican politics, each claiming to exercise the soverign au thority of government. General Gut ierrez's hope, according to official dis patches, appears to be to form a junc tion with Generals Obregon, Villa real and Gonzales and such other chiefs hitherto loyal to Carranza as he believes will agree to eliminate not only the first chief, but also Villa and Zapata. After reciting how he appointed General Vila as commander-in-chief of the convention forces, General Gut ierrez says in his proclamation: "From that moment lt was tin pos albie to detain him. aa in his alacrity to dght, he disobeyed my orders to stop his advance from Lagos to Leon, he occupied the later city and con tinued his march to Mexico City, tak ing into custody a commies km form ed by Francisco Iglesias Calderon for the purpose of entering into agree ments from which, perhaps, it would have been unnecessary to resort to arms. * * .
