El Paso, Tex., Jan. 25.—Efforts are made by the Carranza govern- of infor- being ment Mexico, according to made public here today, the land reforms promised the constitutionalists. ~ Andreas Garcia, Mexican consul here, said that a commission already hed been appointed to devise plans to put into operation the Carranza land distri- bution scheme under the decree issued in December of 1914. This scheme contemplates the re- turn of government control of munici- pal lands taken by private parties during and after the Diaz regime, When this is accomplished, it is said,’ the Carranza government will proceed to divide the vast areas of unculti: vated lands, comprising some of the largest estates in Mexico. Soldiers who have fought for Carranza will share first in this distribution of small farms, it is announced. Advices from the interior of Chi- huahua state report continued tran- quility outside the district in which | the forces of Villa, Argumedo, Con- treras and other rebel leaders are operating. Reports ' from Torreon state that the Carranza troops, com- prising a part of the 10,000 men be- ing concentrated for a campaign’ to exterminate bandits, already have taken the field against these leaders in the Laguna district. Latest advices concerning Villa says that he is in the vicinity of Guerrero, where, according to statements by his supporters, he is safe from pursuing Carranza forces, pending completion of his plans to redrganize an army to take the field, with Argumedo and other leaders, against the de facto government of Mexico.

Mr. Landers’ name had been lfnked with the democratic nomination for several weeks and it was generally be- lieved he would be the standard bear- er in the spring. “You can say that I am not a can- didate for the nomination and that I would not accept it under any circum- stances,” said Mr. Landers this aft- ernoon.

It was submitted through Ambassador Von Bernstorff. Although strict secrecy surrounds the negotiations it wa indicated to- | day that the proposal might result in 118 actory ending to the long- standing negotiations, on the subject. No Mention of Warning. It is understood that in the latest proposal Germany has agreed to eliminate from the text of the agree- ment any mention of the warning is sued by the German embassy the day the Lusitania sailed, and has left out her proposed general reservation of admission of wrongdoing on the part of her submarine commander. Theseé two points, it is understood, were con- tained in previous proposals and were strenuously objected to by President ‘Wilson. It s also said that in its latest proposal the Berlin government makes some reference to a desire to see this country take action in regard to questions involving the freedom of the seas. Secretary Lansing’s Comment, Secretary Lansing’s only comment today on the published description of Germany’s latest proposal was that it wasg ‘“‘speculation not justified by the facts.” Mr. Lansing went early to the cabi- net meeting and it was said he would have a separate conference with | President Wilson on the latest turn in the negotiations. Drafted By Bernstorff. Count von Bernstorff is understood personally to have drafted the propo- sal now under consideration. He has been operating under wide latitude which has been allowed more import- ant questions involved. After his la: proposal was rejected, he is under stood to have asked his government for permission to eliminate from the text of the document all matter ob- jectionable to the United States, and the most objectionable part, at least, now is said to have been taken out. ‘With prospects of a speedy settle- ment of the Lusitania dispute, the United States is prepared to take up in its forthcoming rejoinder to Aus- tria-Hungary’s last Ancona note sev- eral phases with which offtcials are said to be unable to agree. Leaves Much Desired. ‘While the Austrian note in a broad sense is regarded as being most sat- isfactory, certain officials of the state department believe Austria’s attempt to justify the torpedoing of the ves- sel before all the passengers were in a place of safety leaves much to be desired. Officials appreciate the fact that the commander of the submarine was punished “for exceeding his instruc- tions,” in failing to take into consid- eration the panic aboard the vessel. They are unable, however, to agree that forty-five minutes was ‘‘more than sufficient time to afford the per- sons on board an opportunity for dis- \embarkation." Neither is it consid- ered that there was justification forj the theory that the commander of the submarine torpedoed the vessel to “accelerate” disembarkation, or be- cause a steamer, presumably an en- emy cruiser, appeared on the horizon. Assurances that such a procedure would not be followed in the future would be highly acceptable. That state department also would welcome assurances which would cover Austria-Hungary's intentions re- garding the general condurt of sub- | marine warfare in the Mediterranean | such as have been given by Germany.

Weyler Appointed President of Central General Staff Created by Royal Decree. Paris, Jan. 24, 6:05 p. m.—General Valeriano Weyler- has been appoint- ed president of a Spanish central gen- eral staff which has just been created by roval decree, acocrding to a d patch .from Madrid to the Havas Agency. General Weyler was governor of Cuba ju before the Spanish-Amer- ican War. His severity in waging war on the revolutionary movement and particular his action in forcing the concentration of the rural popu- lation in certain sections have gen- erally much to do with the bringing about of that war. After his Spain his reputation as an iron-hand- ed soldier brought him appointments to positions where stern measur: seemed to be required. His appoint- ment in 1900 as captain-general Madrid .resulted in more than one ministérial crisis. He was minister of war in 1901 and again in 1905. In 1909 he was appointed captain- general of Ctalonia with headquarters at Barcelona, where the disturbances connected with the execution of the sentence of death of Francisco Ferrer | were quelled by him without blood- shed. It was recently announced that the Spanish government had decided to reorganize its entire army system, and the appointment of Gen. Weyler to the newly created position of presi- dent of a central general staff is an indication that the veteran soldier, who is in his seventy seventh year, continues to be a power in the mili- tary service of Spain. NIEUPORT CATHEDRAL DESTROYED BY GERMANS Teutons Penetrate French Trenches But Are Driven Out in Spirited Fight. Berlin, Jan. 25, p. m.—"“The Cathedral at Nieuport,” says the German official statement is- sued this afternoon, ‘‘has ‘been de- stroyed by our artillery fire as it was offering an excellent bbservation post.” Nieuport is a town of Belgium ten miles southwest of Ostend. The Ca- thedral at Nieuport was built in the fifteenth century and restored in 1903. The church had a massive baroque tower. Paris, Jan. 25, French' war office 3:50 p. m.—The tatement on the progress of hostilities, given out this | afternoon says that last night there was continued artillery activity in the vicinity of Nieuport, in Belgium. The results of this fire are described as favorable to the French. German troops at one point pene- trated the first line of French trench- es, but they were at once driven out after a very spirited fight. In the Artois district yesterday eve- ning German forces attacked the French lines over a distance of 1,- 500 yards. This preparatory consisted in the explosion of a number of mines, followed by a very violent bombardment. The Germans were driven back to their lines by the French fire, accord- ing to the official statement. ful in occupying however, but from most were later expelled. craters, of COMMITTEE NAMED.
