GARRANZA EXPECTS ACTION Success at Juarez Encourages Constitutional Forces. OUTCOME NOT PREDICTED .Lifting of Arms Embargo Not So Important as Once Supposed, IS View of Leaders Minister v Escudero Issues Statement. NOG ALES, Sonora, Nov. 17. Some obstacles developed since the fall of Juarez created tonight a feeling of un certainty and discouragement as to the outcome of the diplomatic exchange between the United States and the Mex ican Constitutionalists. President Wilson's envoy, William Bayard Hale, had another conference Tv 1th Francisco Escudero, Carranza's Minister of Foreign Relations, but at Its conclusion It was apparent that a situation had arisen which would tax the diplomacy of both sides. Success Encourages Rebels. Jt was evident that the fall of Juarez and other rebel successes in the interior had encouraged Carranza's leaders to such an extent that they believed the lifting of the embargo on the Importa tion of arms was not as necessary as previously It had seemed. On the, other hand It appeared that the original expectation of the lnsur gents that the ban on the transfer of war munitions across the line would be lifted had been met with moro definite requirements from the "Washington Government. The parley between Hale and Car r nza and the latter's representatives : ached a crucial stage last night. After the meeting with Hale tonight Escu- to said he expected tho negotiations to end vithln 24 hours, but would ven ture no prediction as to the outcome. Ho added, however,, that there, would be another meeting, perhaps the 'final one, tomorrow. Compliments Are Exchanged. "Mr. Hale Is .a man of rare culture and sincerity," was the extent of his further remarks. Hale said Escudero was a diplomat of rare ability and declaring be was weary, retired to the American Con sulate. Since last night communications to Hale from Washington have been espe cially lengthy. It required the entire Ftaff of the Consulate, assisted by Hale, to translate them today from the code. In contrast to former conferences where Hale met Carranza and his staff In the Customs-house In full view of the populace, peering through open windows, today, a meeting was attended with the strictest privacy. Hale and Escudero met as yesterday, at the home of Ygnaclo Bonillas, another member of the revolutionary cabinet, who acted as translator. Rwonitmcl Ion Work Calls. Eecudero In a further statement to night said he based his belief of a re sult within 21 hours upon the outcome of the conference yesterday in which he said Hale "had received impres sions" regarding what the Constitu tionalists believed necessary to the sal vation of their country. Another rea son, he said, was the eagernes of the Constitutionalists to contli. their self-set task. "We. wish to complete these negotia tions soon, as we are eager to enter Into the work of the reconstruction of Mexico. To lift tho embargo on arms would be a very desirable thing, but It Is not necessary to the success of the revolution. It Is possible that the em bargo will be raised but It is not neces sary to." This statement of Escudero that the lifting of the embargo on arms the only thing Carranza asked for In reiter ated statements last week was taken as an indication that the negotiations begun last week by Hale as a simple proposition had developed into a com plicated problem of diplomacy.

Fifteen hundred Navajo Indians rallied In de fense of eight renegades and are re ported in armed encampment on Beau tiful Mountain, 35 miles southwest of the Shlprock Agency, defying United States Marshal Hudspeth to take pris oner the renegades who are wanted on Federal warrants charging horse steal ing, assault and bigamy. Two troops of cavalry have been asked for by the Marshal and the re quest has been referred by the War Department to Major-General Carter, In command of the border partol. It is feared that before the cavalry arrives the renegades will be joined by many more at the command of the medicine men and of the plural wife men who are reported to be stirring the Navajos to rebellion. The Indians are fortifying on a high table mountain, the summit of which Is approachable by only one tortuous road. Agept W. T. Shelton is at the agency awaiting the arrival of the troops. No .word was received tonight that they had started. Marshal Hudspeth, after surveying the position of the Indians, returned here tonight with three of the original 11 renegades he was sent from her 10 days ago to arrest. The eight others escaped and rallied their tribesmen to their defense, before the Marshal reached the agency. The request for troops. was made to day after a conference at the agency between Indian agents Shelton, Par quet and Major J. T. McLaughlin, after the Navajos had t sent word that the renegades would not be given up and that they would not only resist arrest, but that if attacked they would resist. burn the agency and kill those in charge. At the suggestion of Major Mc Laughlin cavalry was asked because of the moral effect which the Sherif f s posse could not produce. An Investigation during the day by the marshal and the Indian agents showed that the Indians surrounding the renegade leaders had rounded up their cattle and sheep, harvested their corn and otherwise made ready for a siege. The Indians are led by Chief Black Horse and 150 young bucks. sAV ay AY o&&or AYS TOO A MfNU' t ( KsjrZ X BAKED APPLE I CniS fbli3' APPLf FRITTERS riow -V XJlF " PIE INDEX OF TODAY'S NEWS The Weather.

OLYMPIA, Wash., Nov. 17. (Special.) After nearly 12 years, during which dancing, in public school buildings has been forbidden rigidly, Attorney-General Tanner, In an official opinion ren dered today, throws the bars down to devotees of the tango, as well as the more conservative forms of the terpsl chorean art. Dancing is a form of recreation, the Attorney-General holds, and since the "social center" law of 1913 throws the schools open at night for study, im provement and recreation, it follows, he says, that school dancing Is strictly legal. No dancing has been allowed since Attorney-General Stratto'n handed down an adverse opinion on the sub ject January 2, 1902.

FEAR IS FELT FOR STEFANSSON PARTY WHALERS SAY LITTLE HOPE OF EXPLORERS BEING FOUNT. Heavy Weather Encountered by Ves sel Early in October and Search Avails Nothing. SEATTLE, Wash., Nov. 17. (Spe cial.) Fear is felt for Vilhjalmur Stef ansson, the famous Arctic explorer and discoverer of the "white Eskimo," who was aboard the steamship Karluk when that vessel was last sighted off Flaxman Island on August 14, and for his vessel and all of her people.

This is the opinion of members of the Canadian Arctic exploration party at Collision Point, according to a dls patch received from Fairbanks to-day. Stefansson left Victoria last Summer with an expedition outfitted by the Canadian government to make explora tions and scientific researches along the Northern coast of the American continent.
