Laredo Texas June 18 A report
Is current here that Carrauza la flee-
ing to this place from Saltlllo seeking
safety In the United States following
his break with Villa. The story is not
believed because It is reported that
Villa and Carranza have patched up
their differences.
Ultimatum to Carranza.
By United Press.
El Paso Juna 18 Dispatches re
ceivea from Pledras Negras assert
that Villa presented an ultimatum to
"Carranza demanding the absolute sep
aration of the civil and military gov
ernments. It was said that Villa
agreed to acknowledge Carranza as his
superior If Carranza would s!"e him
control of the army and make him
supreme In military affairs.
It was said that a committee of
three officers at Saltlllo were present
Ing Villa s plan to Carranza. This is
interpreted thera aa an answer to Car
ranza'a promotion of Natera and his
fcubsequent disastrous defeat at Zaca-
tecas.
The rebels express the belief that
the demands will be granted by Car
ranza and that Villa will proceed with
his campaign. If his demands are
not granted it was stated that he would
retire to Chihuahua or El Paso until
he could serve the constitutionalist
i ause without friction.
By United Press.
Washington June 18. According to
the view expressed here Villa's "dem
onstratlon of force" cleared the Mex'.
can situation showing the military
control of the constitutionalists. It
means that the Huerta succession will

posted men here.
Ever since Villa unqualifiedly en
dorsed the action of the United States
on the heels of Carranza's hostile de
maud that this country withdraw from
Vera Cru Villa's stock has been high
in official circles here.
It. is reported that Villa Is trying to
make Gen. Felipe Angeles first chief
of the rebels In the place of Carranza
This arrangement would be satlsfac
tory to the United States because An
geles Is a great soldier a scholar and
is friendly toward the United States.
By United Press.
El Paso. June 18. According to re
ports received here today the breach
between Villa and Carranza was heal-
ed as suddenly as It was manifested."
It Is said that the apparent break be-
tween the two rebel leaders was due
to Villa's desire to end the friction be-
tween his worshippers and the follow-
ers of Carran;a by replacing the latter
with Villa adherents.
Villa has apparently had his way

(United Press Staff Correspondent.)
Vera Cruz Mexico June 16. (By
Mail to New York.) Mrs. Mary
'Keyes is back again under the Ameri
can flag after having given a certain
Mexican named Huerta the sassing of
his life. With her she brings four
pretty daughters about whom the
young lieutenants of the army and
navy are flocking like bhds. But to
get headlong into the story:
Mrs. Reyes went to Mexico 25 years
ago and Is the American widow of a
Mexican who was once wealthy. Her
four daughters have delightful little
lisps calculated to drive a white-suit-
ea young navyman half mad. The
girls learned stenography after the
family fortunes waned and In good
American style they jumped into after
their father's death and made for
themselves and their mother a home
that was one of the 'brightest and most
IntWRtlng in Mexico City. When
President Ma'dnro was assassinated
Mrs. Reyes agreed with President Wil
son that Huerta the assassin ougnt
not to be recognized. It was an easy
mnllai. f I)--!.l....t liTii
4r 1 csiul-ui VY1JHOII HO( to
recognize Huerta but for Mrs. Reyes)
It wa an affair of great difficulty ow
ing to the fact that the Reyes and
Huerta families were in the same social
set in the capital. Mrs. Reyes began
to speak her mind wherever she went.
I'm going to tajk and think as 1
please" said Mrs. Reyes in American
style. The Carranzistas in the canital
began to depend more and more on the
American woman and her daughters
for aid in acocmplishing secret and dif
ficult tasks. For Instance It's Mrs.
Reyes' own secret how she did it but
It Is known that 14 deputies who had
been marked for death by Huerta were
spirited away from her home at var
ious times to safety. And every time
deputy went to safety the wardrobe
of one of the girls was minus a gown
or a street dress. The crisis for the
Reyes faml'y cam on February 22
not because that Is Washington's birth-
day but because It is the anniversary
of the assassination of Francisco Ma-
dero who wag almost an Idol with the
Reyes girls and their mother. On that
Sunday afternoon Mrs. Reyes taking
her liberty and it might have been her
life Into her hands went to the French
cemetery where Madero lies buried
and carrying a great bouquet ol roses
she stalked her way through the lines
of Mexican soldiers and rurales to the J
door of the Madero family tomb and
Placed the roses there. Carmen her
aaugnter who was standing beside her
suddenly felt the touch of a hand on
her shoulder. The girl turned and
round herself facing George Huerta
tne son of Madero's assassin.
"What are you doinc here?" he ask
ed insolently. He's a loafine vnnn
blood of the capital and perhaps somo
oi nis father a cognac made him par
ticularly overbearing lu his de
"Are you a relative of Madero's?" hrt
continued. "What are you crvlmr
around here for?" I wag In th n
tery myself that Sunday and I know
what a sinister crowd of soldiers and
secret service men it was that s.ir
rounded Madero's grave. It would have
taken a brave man to stand at that
graveside and speak his mind and he
probably would have paid for his words
with his life.. "We're here to mourn
lor the good man your father mur
uered.
The words came like so many shots;
spoaun rignt into the face of the as
sassln's son; delivered in the presence
of grim soldiers; heard by scores of
Bystanders who were secretly mourn
Ing; thrilling me as they did every
other bystander until it hurt us not
to be able to cheer. Mm Reyes told
deorge Huerta some more things too;
she told him that he was as 'bad a man
as His drunken father. She prophe
sied; she said the day would nome
when his father who had seized the
presidency by murder would be an out
cast. She said she hoped the dav
wasn't far away either and then sna
wound up by saying "Now go home
and tell your father what an American
woman who isn't afraid to talk thinks
about him." She and her daughter
turned away stalked through the lines
ot soldiers and left the wonderine and
astonished son of the dictator to think
things out.
After the incident secret service
men haunted them and their home-
even their servants they discovered
were Huerta spies. And the other day
wey aad to flee. There was one
"'White man" in the Huerta eovern
ment who called one of the girls to his
office and said:
Vour mother and you girls had bet
ter get out of the capital as soon as
you can. Huerta is planning to ar
rest her." .
And so the plucky little American
woman with her four dauhters. left
their home one evening got to the rail
road station without being observed
and twenty-four hours later were un
der the American flag in Vera Cruz.

bt. Petersburg June 18. It -was
learned today that an anarchist plot
to destroy the czar and his entire fam
ily by dynamiting the train on which
they were traveling failed to accom
plish its purpose "yesterday.
That tha royal family were saved
was due to the fact that their train
was preceded by another one which
was wrecked by the explosion.
The imperial train was following
Closely a mall train which was com
pletely demolished by the dynamite
which the plotters had planted. Two
passengers on the mail train -were
killed and 28 seriously injured.
The police and secret service have
been active in the effort to ferret out
those responsible for the disaster but
so far no trace of the assassins has
been found.
That an attempt was made to ex
terminate the czar and his family is
admitted though officially an effort
was made to dismiss the incident as
mere wreck.
