First Chief Has Stronger Grasp On ffexican Populace, Says Report —Generals Turn Traitors. El Paso, Tex., Oct. s.—Local representatives of the Carranza central government do not agree with official Washington’s interpretation f the Mexican situation. It was said today that the recent convention at Mexico City by rejecting Carranza’s resignation had decided definitely who should act as provisional president. • The meeting of Carranza and Villa delegates at Aguas Calientes or Zacatecas thus becomes, the Carranza men interpreted, merely a mediation meeting. From the south today came little diffinite news regarding Villa’s movements. Reports persisted that various of his chiefs had avowed allegience to the Carranza government. Vera Cruz, Oct. 5.—A force of Mexicans, presumably followers of Gen. Higino Aguilar, reappeared at Esperanza today. It is reported that they are engaging the troops at Esperanza on their way to the capital.
