DIPLOMATS IN MEXICO MUST SEE CARRANZA “First Chiet” Delares They Must{ Deal Personaly With Him. | | Washington, Feb. 15.—While no of- ficial messages had been received Sun- day by the state Spanish embas department or the herc as to the atti tude of the panish government | toward the expulsion of its minister | from Mexico by General Carranza, | press dispatches received yesterday from Madrid indicating that the mat- ter would be adjusted through dipio- matic channels were credited by offi- cials. Another action of the Carrarza gov- ernment, which may cause furthe: complications for the diplomatic corps in Mexico City, was taken yesterday in the announcemen: that General Car- ranza, as first chief, was solely au- thorized to receive and pass upon dip- lomatic communications. This virtual- ly prohibits diplomats in Mexico City from dealing with General Obregon, in command there, and may seriously affect the diplomatic activity of American consular agents, who al- ways have been instructed to deal with the defacto authorities, whoever they may be. Representations made to subordinate generals, says the order now issued by the Carranza government, the text of which was given out here last night, | “tends, even when made by persons actually accredited, to disrupt the unity which would prevail in the con- stitutionalist government and to helit- tle the authority of the firsi chief.” Must Go to Vera Cruz. The order apparently will make it impossible for diplomatic representa- tives of foreign governments to deal with the Carranza government except by going to Vera Cruz, which they have been unwilling to do lest such action be construed as formal recog- nition. Already most of the diplomats at Mexico City have asked their gov- ernments for permission to leave when the situation becomes intoler- able, and some of them have been ad- vised to use their own discretion. Reports of an appeal by Spain for joint action in Mexico were not re- garded here as accurate, because offi- cials pointed out the Spanish govern- ment most probably would consult the United States before taking so Iim- portant a step in the Mexican situa- tion. Thus far beyond informal dis- cussion of the various incidents to which Spain has taken exception in Mexico, no suggestion for action has come from Spain. It was believed not unlikely, however, that for the infor- mation of the powers of the woild Spain would communicate a statement of the circumstances under which the Spanish minister was deported. Situation Gives Much Concern. ‘While ‘high officials were reticent as to the future course of the United States government, it is evident that the treatment of foreigners in Mex- ico, the food famine in Mexico City and the plight of the diplomatic corps there, have given the administration much concern, On account of the severe censor- ship established at Vera Cruz by Gen- eral Carranza, eight censors being on duty to prevent dispatches unfavor- able to the Carranza cause from be- ing sent abroad, very little news of the difficulties of the foreign consuls and diplomats has been permitted to reach the United States. Through official channels and otherwise, how- ever, it has just been authoritativel learned that for some time bare courteous relations have been main- tained between Carranza and toe consuls of Spain and Great Britain at Vera Cruz. These consuls often have found it difficult to sce Carranza, fre- quently being forced to wait for hours i his reception room, only to be told to: call again, Both the Spanish and British consuls incurred the displeas- ure of Carranza because of their per- sistence in calling to his attention what they considered unjust aggres- sion on foreign property. The American consul at Vera Cruz has' time and again made reépresen- tatidbns to Carranza oi the tréatment of Spaniards. Recently 'he was in- structed to say that the department of state had learned of the shooting of seven Spaniards at Apizaco and of A CHILD DOESN'T LAUGH AND PLAY IF CONSTIPATED peevish, feverish “California of Figs.

The defection of General Francisco Villa and other leaders of the northern division, involves a pain- ful experience which we must bear in mind to avoid in the future the lack of political discipline of inexperienced ieaders. It is the unavoidable pur- pose of this government to comply with its international duties, afford- ing just protection under the laws to all foreign persons and interests, this can only be done properly through the appropriate authoritie “Military leaders before whom such representations may be made confine themselves to informing the representatives of foreigners that they should take such matters up directly with the first chief of the tionalist army.” Villa Captures :audalajara. Anrique C. Llorente, Washington representative of General Villa, gave out the following message from the latter, dated yesterday and received last night, describing the capture of Gaudalajara, second largest city in Mexico: “We made a truly triumphal entry | into this beautiful city today. The enthusiasm which prevailed wheén I passed through the streets, accom- panied by only an escort seribable. . . .

Madrid, via Par Teb. 16.—A spe- cial cabinet meeting was held yester- day to consider the situation arising from the expulsion from Mexico by Caro, the Spanish minister. It was the unani- mous decision that the incident would give rise to no trouble between Me and Spain, as the conflict is solely with General Carranza, whose authority has not been recognized by any nation. Premier Eduardo Dato read a letter in which General Carranza declared that the proceedings against Angel de Caso, on whose account the Spanish minister was expelled, constituted an act in the interest of social and politi- cal order and was not and could not be a cause of offense to Spain, -which always will be respected by the Mexi- can people and Mexican government.

Mexico City, Feb. 15—General Obre- gon states that he is arming 26,000 workmen who had volunteeared to fight for the Carranza cause. At the same time Obregon announced that unless the clergy furnish the half mil- lion pesos asked for, he will confls- | cate church property. The chamber of commerce met yes- | terday and agreed to appeal to the merchants of the city to lower the prices of food, in order that the pop- ulace may be able to buy provisions. Villa Dismisses Garza, It is reported here that General Gonzales Garza, who was acting pro- vistonal president during the conven- tion regime, has been dismissed by General Villa, who has declared him- | self dictator. One hundred thousand dollars in coins of small denominations has been shipped into the city by order of Gen- eral Carranza. This will permit ordi- nary business transactions to be car- | ried on, there having been no small coins in the city with which to make change. SARAH BERNHARDT'S OPERATION PUT OFF | | | | | Famous Actress Suffering From In- | jury Which She Received on the Stage in Scene of Play. } Paris, Feb. 15, 4:46 A. M.—Arthur | Meyer, editor of the Gaulois, has re- | cetved a telegram from Maurice Bern- hardt, the son of Sarah Bernhardt, | the famous actress, announcing that the operatfon which his mother was to undergo Saturday had been post- poned at the last moment for a week His mother’'s condition, he telegraphs, is excellent. Previous to the receipt of this tele- gram there were some alarming re- ports regarding the operation, one | of which, published in the Petit Jour- | nal, was to the effect that Mme. Bern- hardt’s leg had been amputated. The injury to the actress dates back many months. It appears that it was incurred in the course of her stage work, while she was kneeling in a scene in one of her plays. She then struck her knee violently on an iron bolt and ever since the limb has troubled her. In May last the pain was go intense | that she was unable to walk, and she was obliged to cancel her Bel- | gian tour, which she had only about | | half completed. Since then she has recelved the best care that medical | science could provide but without af- fording permanent relief and latterly it had been decided that she must un- dergo an operation.
