DKlTOIJNCtt CENTRAL GOVERN - ME NT HEADED BY CAR RAN ZA. Former Lieutenant Formally Assorts I Its Independence Of Loader and Es? tablishes lllnwrlf as Head or State Of Chihuahua?Sonora also in Arms Against Carranza. Ml Paso, Texas, Sept. 23.?Gen Francisco Villa, dominant leader In northern Mexico, tonight denounced the central government headed by Veiustiano Carrunza and formally announced his independence. This placed the State of Chihuahua in open revolt against the party in po *er at Mexico City as well an Sonora, the next border State to the west, where Gov. Maytorena pre? viously had proclaimed his inde? pendence of the constitutionalist party as represented by Carranza. DISAVOWS LEADER. Vi la Informs Carrunza Ills Men Won't Participate In General Convention. Washington, Sept. 23.?Gen. Villa has telegraphed Gen. Carranza dis? avowing the latter as first chief of the constitutionalist army in charge of the executive power in Mexico. This was announced in a telegram from Gen. i Carranza tonight to the constitutional? ist agency here. Uen. Villa at the same time an ; nounccd that neither he nor his dele? gates WOttld participate in the national convention called for October 1 at Mexico City to nominate a provisional president. The exchange of telegrams resulted from Gon. Carranzas order to sus? pend railroad communication between Agues Calientes und Torrcon until he could learn whether or not Gen. Ob regon, commander of the division of the northca;it, was held under arrest by Villa. After receiving a long message from Carranza, Rafael Zubaran, head of the constitutionalist agency at the Mex? ican embassy, gave out a statement in which he said: "Contrary to Villa's denial that h? had arestcd Gen. Obregon, the latest ofllcial reports from Mexico City to i day make clear that he is still being held in the teritory controlled by Villa's forces. In view of this un? justifiable act on Villa's part, Car I ranza took precautionary measures to i protect the railroads, giving orders to discontinue temporarily service to the north of Aguas Calientes. Thereupon Villa asked tho first chief for an Im? mediate explanation of this act. Car? ranza answered that before he would vouchsafe an explanation, he demand? ed on Villa's part an explanation of Villa's conduct in unwarrantably holding Gen. Obregon. "Instead of giving to Carranza a satisfactory explanation, Villa inform? ed the first chief that he had g*ven orders to halt Obregon at Torreon, and that the forces under Villa's com? mand would not be represented at tne national convention to be held in Mexico City October 1. In conclusion Villa said he no longer recognised Ci rranza as the first chief of the con? stitutionalists." This sudden break between the two foremost factors in Mexico's politics caused a profound sensation here. Secretary Rryun would make no com? ment and White House officials were silent. It was generally understood, how? ever, that President Wilson, who has set no date for the departure of American forces from Vera Cruz, probably would delay the evacuation until the controversy was adjusted. Ofllcial reports from various point! Mexico today had pictured the sit? uation as ominous. During the day Paul Fuller, who has had personal conferences with both Villa and Carranza for the Wash? ington government, reported at length to President Wllsoi. nd Secretary Bryan, Mr. Fuller is understood to have explained to Carranza that the American government desired to sec a provisional government set up which would be recognized by all factions and only such a government would be accorded recognition. Well informed officials seemed to think the cause of the rupture be? tween Carranza and Villa was Villa's disapproval of Caransa's system of representation for the national con? vention, Villa opposes Carransa's can? didacy. Just what the American govern? ment would do in the present emer? gency was not (dear tonight. Some oMicials were confident the friction would not result in a second revolu? tion because of the strength of Villa's army. They thought a compromise might be arranged and it was not cer? tain Whether the Tinted States would Interpose its Influence or wall develop? ments. Villa agents today sent several car? loads of war munitions, as well as troops, to assist Gov, Mu.vtorenu of Monom, who is in open revolt rtgainst Carransn, This wns followed later, according to reports rece'ved here by the sending ot OOO.tn i pesos lu Villu paper currency to llnytorenn officials. Thia money, it was said, WU being placed In circulation to absorb the Carranaa issue. Gen. Obregon, a Carranza adherent who heads the northwestern military zone, of which Sonora is a part, re? mained at Chihuahua City, a prisoner at Villa's headquarters. All available troops under Villa's command were rushed tonight to meet what was reported as a strong force of Carranza troops, moving north from Zacatecas. Even the two brigades which were sent on an over land march into Sonora to assist the Maytorena revolt were recalled hur? riedly. They passed through Juarez j tonight on their way back to Chi Inuahua City, Villa's capital. CALLS 31 EX TOGETHER. Curranza Mobilizing Troops Loyal to Uini.

Villa has ordered the detention at Torreon of Gen. Obregon, now on his way to Mexico City, according to in? formation reaching the border tday. This, it is declared, was Villa's reply to Gen. Carranza's demands for an ex? planation as to the breach between Villa and Obregon, which was thought to have been smoothed over. Obregon set out from the north for the federal capital yesterday to report to the first chief in person. It could not be learned here tonight whether Obregon hud yet reached Tor? reon. ARRESTS IX CAPITAL. lb mi I la and X umber of Others in Pen? itentiary.

A group of con? stitutionalists who had entered the clt> were requested by the patrols to move on. They refused to obey the ! command and then were forced to comply. A crowd gathered and offensive re? marks were hurled at the Americans. Immediately marines under Capt. Hooker moved into the midst of the throng and scattered it. DIAZ AT NEW ORLEANS.

Conflict Between Carranza and Villa Promises Bloody righting. El Paso, Sept. 14.?The announce | ment of the long threatened break ' between Villa and Carranza has come, j Villa has proclaimed independence i and declared war. This break will probably be follow? er, by the bloodiest lighting that has yet occurred In Mexico. The troops j of both Villa and Curran/.a are already 'moving to the battle field. Carranza's army is being sent north from Zacate cjis, while Villa has been gathering forces in Chihuahua and Torreon for several weeks. The break between the two leaders was the result of Villa's demand that the vast estates be divided among the peons. Caranza is making no move in this direction. 00000 0000 00000 0 0 o 0 "BVV A BALE OF COTTON." 0 0 <> 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 o 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 Another linn Which has sent orders here to buy cotton is the Cleveland Hardware Company of Cleveland, Ohio.
