Inquiry as to Fighting-.
Secretary^ Ban sing announced today : N
lat the State Department was inves- ' >
gating whether the attack of Car- '
mza forces at Xaco and the fighting
hich followed was a violation of the *
jreement both Carranza and Villa 1
ictions had made with Brig. Gen. : *
ott, dhief of staff of the army, for
neutral zone on the border to obviate
uiger to non-combatants. . *
A dispatch received by the Carranza j
?ency from Charles A. Douglas of this
ty, now at Vera Cruz, contained the
dlowing statement:
"Before Gen. Gonzales began bis new- j j
it military movement against the ;
illista forces to the north I discussed j.
ith him very much in detail the food i
tuation in Mexico City and the Work . *
f relief then in progress under his
Lien, supervision. Me stated tnat i
lere already had been brought into
le city expressly for the alleviation
f suffering sixty carloads of food:uffs,
of which forty were exclusively
f corn arid twenty of mixed supplies,
hree carloads had already been dis ibuted
last Saturday. The conitutionalist
government, established
iroughout the City of Mexico and in j.
Jjacent portions of the federal disict
140 distributing depots.
How Corn Was Sold.
"Some of these handled corn only and i 1
thers handled corn and general pro-!
isions. The greater number were for j
le distribution of corn dough. The ! ?
overnment paid for the milling of the
3rn, and to those able to pay at all
le price of the uhground staple was
) cents per kilogram, and for the pretred
article 25 cents per kilogram.
"To tjiose unable to pay at all there
as free distribution of foodstuffs in I
llotments sufficient to meet the lm- I
ediate needs of the applicant. ?
"Up to Saturday evening the const!- |
itionallst authorities had distributed 1 j
> the poor from the treasury of the
ivernment 1,000,000 pesos, thus givig
aid to 40,000 families. Gen. Goniles
stated that the relief of the poor 1
as a matter only of the solution of
ie transportation problem and the
aintenanoe of railway connection =
ith the sources of supply. He said
lat upon his return to the city he exacted
confidently to have the lines of ansportation

iuatemala President h
Promised to Support
Huerta, Letters Sfiow 5
GALVESTON, Tex., July 22.?Support ^
orn President Manuel Estrada Carera
of Guatemala for the plans of I
en. Victoriano Huerta and associates i
>r re-establishing- control of affairs
1 Mexico was pledged as early as last
ebruary, according to La Voz de la
evolution, a newspaper of Merida,
exico, copies of which were received
ere today. This publication prints
hat purports to be letters from Presient
Cabrera to Gen. Huerta. In one j
' these letters President Cabrera is ' ~
ioted as saying: j ^
"It does not appear difficuft to me to j i
moiliate the revolutionary elements j ~
! Gen. Villa with the military ele- .
ents so worthily personified in you. I 1
s ruler and in my private capacity j
>u may count on my aid in any pos- ! bio
way to tranquillize Mexico. I am ;
ire you will meet no opposition in ? d
tiiapas or Tabasco in carrying out j p
lis great business."
Suggests German Aid.
Another Cabrera letter, addressed to j
jrge Vera Estanol at Los Angeles, _
rter outlining offers of assistance jj
milar to the foregoing, says: I _
"Permit me to suggest that a number 3
: German officers be named as inructors,
as 1 have them here, and
hich, in my case, were very effective
; establishing a nucleus of an army."
The paper also publishes a letter 7
om Gen. Huerta, dated New York, "
pril 12, and addressed to Estanol,
hich says: "While 1 was in Europe 1 =
as in active correspondence with the
osldent of Guatemala, who seems
sposed to aid our cause." ... ?
The Merida newspaper gives no exanation
of how it came into the posssion
of the correspondence.
