Carranza Snbmita Statement.
A statement on conditions in Mexico
based on a report from Gen. Alraro
Obregon and given out by Elizo Arre
Ilondo. declared that the only organized
opposition to the Carranza government
was confined to portions of the states
of Sonora and Chihuahua, adding, that
an expedition had been sent to Sonora
to assist Constitutionalists forces there
In smashing the Maytorena armv. The
statement also announces the surrender I
of many former Villlsta officials. ;
Opposition to Carranza Crumbles. I
Since Saturday, when the Pan Ame
rican conference announced its deci
sion to reedgnize Carranza. a wide
spread on the internal situation has
be' n noted. The chief result has been
the apparent crumbling of opposition
to Carranza. many of the Zapata leaders
as well as Villa generals su rendering
or leaving the country. Amnesty has
been freely granted to those who have
laid down their arms.
Opposed by Catholics.
Opposition from officials of the Cath
olic church in this country to the recog
nition of Gen. Carranza continues to be
manifested in various ways. Secretary
Lansing before deciding on recognition
dieted definite promises from the Car
ranza, authorities that "no one would
suffer In his life and property" because
of religious belief. Administration offi
cials feel therefore that the Carranza
assurances must be taken as- an index
of future policy and the attitude of
the Carranza authorities toward the
clergy awaited before judgment is
passed.
Report Tolnca Recaptured.
Carranza reports today say Toluca.
near Mexico City, has been taken from
Zapata forces, that nearly half the state
of Chihuahua is completely controled
by Carranza, that Juarez is cut off from
the interior, and that many towns in
the north are arming against attack by
V.lla forces.
Parral Sacked.
It was reported that before evacuating-
Parral Vnln troops sacked the city.
Food suppli?- in large quantities were
said to be arm mg in Mexico City. One
dispatch reported the defeat of Rafael
Bue'r.a. a Villa leader, on the west
coast, whose force at Teplc fled to the
xpoontains.
, Reports that Zapata had threatened
Americans are discounted in today's
dlspatohes, which say no Americans are
known to be in his territory.
Gen. Carranza's war office has been
moved from Veracruz to Mexico City.

to Order His Death.
"Being convinced of the absolute
necessity of the Mexican people in
Mexico needing peace and protection,
and wibnirg to assist in bringing them
out of the misery and starving condi
tions they are now in, a short time
ago. I decided, at the risk of my own
life, to propose to Gen. Villa that be
retire as chief of the northern division
and let the rest of the principal chiefs
make peace propositions to the con
tending factions, that is, to bring to
gether the revolutionary parties in
Mexico and give the people peace and
guarantees."
This is the statement issued Satur
day afternoon by Gen. Tomas Ornelas
explaining his flight from Juarez to
Kl Paso and his declaration here that
he Is out of the war game in Mexico
Continuing, the statement Bays:
"On two different occasions, I tried
to convince Gen. Villa of the absoluti
necessity of this step, but unfortun
ately failed in my good intent. The
bad element surrounding Gen. Villa
became informed of my activity in this
respect and accused me of being a
traitor, not that they were convinced
I was one, but to flatter their "boss'
and merit his. esteem, they rafluencing
him to such an extent as to make him
forget all sentiments of justice, grati
tude and confidence.
"On the night of the 13th instant he
wired Gen. Medinaveitia to take m
with an escort to Casas Grandes, te
discuss matters of vital Importance
the message ending with, "do not report
to me without bringing Gen. Ornelas.'
A second message ordered Gen. Medin
aveitia to fulfil orders of the previous
message. In the last and third mes
sage I intercepted Gen. Villa said:
'Dispose of Gen. Ornelas before reach
ing Casas Grandes: his presence is not
necessary.'
"Shortly after Gen. Medinaveitia ar
rived in Juarez, he sent a code mes
sage to Gen. Villa stating that even
though his brother. HIpollto, recom
mended nle, he Medinaveitia, advised
him to call me into his presence at
once, etc ,
"Seeing my death sentence, as ex
plained above, I preferred to pass to
the American side, even though by do
ing this I exposed myself to the cen
sure of those that do not know the
truth of the facts, as I have related
them."
VILLISTAS CLAIM DEFEAT

camp in Casas Grandes of two Villista
generals has been confirmed. Villa

Rudolfo Fier-o. according to arrivals
in Juarez Monday, was drowned, as at
first reported It was said by the ar
rivals that Fierro and four companions
started to ford the river in going from
Villa Ahumada to Casas Grandes. The
roadway was covered with -water and
Fierro urged his companions to follow
htm into the flooded stream. They re
fused and Fierro went in alone and
was drowned. When advised that Fier
ro had been drowned. Villa offered a
reward for the recovery of the body, as
Fierro wore a large number of valu
able diamonds which Villa wished to
recover, it is said.
Fierro was known as "Villa's offi
cial executioner" and was credited
with more murders and executions than
any other man in Mexico. He killed
William Benton, the English subject,
who Villa turned over to him to take
to Chihuahua for imprisonment.
Persistent reports in El Paso official
circles declare that Gen. Fierro was
killed by Gen. Francisco Villa himself
in a quarrel in Casas Grandes.
Official headquarters in Juarez deny
this report, which claims to be from
Villista officers now in Casas Grandes
with the Villa encampment. Only the
statement that Fierro was drowned
crossing the Casas Grandes river, is
vouched for at both the military and
commercial offices in Juarez.

Gen. Tomas Ornelas. who was comman

shortly after the copper miners' strike
in Michigan was called off in 1914, the
question of consolidating the two or
ganizations arose. At the western r ea
eration of Miners' convention in Denver
that year, a committee was named to
confer with representatives of the
United Mine Workers of America in an
of consolidating. That joint committee I
studied the situation and decided the
time was not ripe for formal consolida
tion, but that the organizations would
continue an exchange of cards and co
operate in all matters of mutual in
terest, each maintaining a separate
autonomy.

The Monday conierenre between the

managers and the strikers" committee
of file in the Hotel Paso del Norte ad
journed at noon with the question of
the reinstatement of employes, dis
charged because of their sympathy
with the striking faction, still in the
air, the managers objecting to consid
eration of socalled "agitators."
The whole attitude of the managers
in tbe conference is said to be one
which is calculated to place the miners
on tbe defensive, -with manager J. W.
Bennie of the Shannon Copper com
pany, appointed to the chairmanship
of tbe conference by the managers.
The miners' committeemen spent 'the
noon recess with the list of rejections
and objections of the managers, and
were to be ready for the afternoon ses
sion with a "come-back" offer which
is said to embody a modification of
their first demands.
The managers seemed satisfied on all
counts with the progress of events in
the conference Monday forenoon, and
expressed themselves as ready to con
tinue their present attitude.

The grievances of the strikers will be
taken up one by one by the managers. It
was stated Monday by one of the opera

Monday morning in the conference
