Just what Gens Scott and Funston
will discuss with Gen. ObVeson and just
what preparations they will make arc
unknown here. It v. as assumed that
Gen. Obregon has recei-ed special In-
structions from his government to
amide him In the conference Little
credence was given the unofficial re-
port that Gen. Obregon was prepared to
demand that a definite time bo set for
the withdrawal of the American troops.
Series of Conferences.
It was not anticipated by Gens. Scott
and Funston that all would be adjust-
ed after one brief talk with Gen. Obre-
gon. It was regarded as more likely
that the first conference would be
merely one of a series and that tho In-
tervals might be long enough for both
Gen. Obregon and Gen. Scott to commu-
nicate with their respective govern-
ments regarding the various sugges-
tions as they were made Gen. Scott
has no plenary powers and it is De

It was believed here that the confer-
ence probably would take place In Jua-
rez the Mexican town opposite El Paso.
It Is understood that the United States
government has no objections to Gens
Scott and Tunston meeting the Mexican1
representative on Mexican soil and it
was realized that Gen. Obregon might

Washington. D. C April 28 Many
revolutionary bands in the Laguna dis-

Mexico are reported in dispatches to
the state department today to have sur-
rendered to tho Carranza government
'The department." said an official
announcement "is in receipt of tele-
graphic advices stating that it is re-

Torreon of Gen. Jacinto Trcvino condi-

Laguna district. Good order is said to
have been restored there and in the
eastern portion of Durango. In these
sections many Villa or revolutionary
bands are reported to have surrendered

"I cannot say very much as to tho

"I have no knowledge of that" said
'how long -nill you remain on the

"I cannot say how many days the
conference will require."
"Wha't of Carranza s ability to cope
with the bandit problem?"
"There Is no longer a bandit prob-

Obregon "Ther are still bands of
bandits in Durango and Coahulla. We
will eliminate them in time."
Does Not Think Villa Dead.
"Do you think Villa to be dead?"
"No. I do not think he Is dead" an-

badly wounded."
"Where then do you think he Is?"

"It is not a question of troops" said
the general. "Now It Is only a question
of a hunt not a campaign. There Is
no need for a great column of troops
to catch a single man."
Gen Obregon stated that he awaited
instructions from his government as to
the principal points of the conference
and Intimated that his part in the
meeting would reflect not onlv the
v lews of Gen. Carranza but also the
views of ambassador Arredondo in
Washington.
Jn ceord "With Cnrransn.
When questioned as to any break or
difference with Gen. Carranza Gen.
Obregon laughed. "I am very earnest"
he said "that jou state emphatically
for me that there has been no differ-
ence between tho first chief and mysolf
md that there is no reason for there
being any
"I wish to emphatically dony the in-
ventions of the American yellow press
who insinuate that there is friction
j nlsh to state that there Is perfect
I harmony between all chiefs of the Con-
1 stltutlonalista cause I am here to con
vince the American representtalves
that our army is more than amply suf-
ficient to finish up the small bunches
of Vllllsta bandits still at large outside
the law and hope to arrange the prompt
retirement of the American troops
into their on country"
llUn' Denial.
In connection with Gen Obregon's
statement of loyalty to Gen Carranza
and denial of friction among officers
the following message dated June 18.
1914. from Francisco Villa then at
Torreon. to his El Paso representative
is of interest:
"In answer to your menace of yesterday
my reply la that you ran deny categorically
that there exists any difference htween Sr.
Carranza and myself we ars fighting; !
by side against the usnrpatory government.
Concernlnc the arrests said to have been
made In Juarez you yourself better than
anyone else know that those stories are to
be treated as false for there have ben na
such arrests arift the only reason for trans-
ferring tha offices i Chlhuahus was to
serve the convenience of our cause. These
declarations ougnt to Da given to the press
I becaas. they are the truth of the matter.
I salute you
I "The General tn Chief"
"franclsco villa."
Are you satisfied. Gen. Obregon
with the conduct of the American troops
in Mexico '" the general was aeked.
"I would not care to discuss these
points" came the reply.
"Can you state for us whether or not
a silver standard Is to be established
in Mexico and the flat money to be re-
pudiated?" "I have no views on that Issue. That
is a question for the treasury depart-
ment and senor Luis Cabrera Is the
holder of that portfolio I should sug-
gest that jou confer with him."
Gen. Obregon Is surrounded by many
of the military dignitaries of Mexico In
his party were: Gov. Ygnaclo C. En-
rique governor of Chihuahua: Gen.
R. Valdez chief of escort. Gen. Jacinto
B. Trevlno. commander of the armv of
! the northwest and Gen. Jose Santos.
Gen Obregon's staff consists of CoL A.
Saenz chief of staff. Maj J. M Carpio
Capt. A Gaxiola and Capt A. Sarocho.
Jlerrera Is Loyal.
Arriving on the military train and
presumably coming to the border to
t demonstrate the loyalty .of the Herrera
iamily to tne constitutionalist cause
was Jose de la Luz Herrera mayor of
Parral who suffered many indigni-
ties at Parral during the trouble be-
tween the populace of that town and
the American troops. Senor Herrera
is the father of Gen Luis Herrera now
stationed at Parral and through an
interpreter he said
"It Is unfortunate to shoulder my
son -with stories of defection. lie Is
very loyal to the constitutional cause
and to his first chief. Gen. Carranzi "
