the revolution and foreign affairs be
fore them. General Venustiano Car
ranza and General Francisco Villa met
formally here today.
It was their' first meeting in four
years, Carranza first having met the
military leader when, fresh from out
lawry, he was a leader of one of Fran
cisco I. Madera's small revolutionary
bands.
The meeting had every appearance
of friendliness and Villa made a point
of referring to Carranza as his chief.
Lithographs bearing the likeness of
the two leaders side by side appeared
in store windows, and citizens wore
buttons and badges similarly deco
rated. Villa, accompanied by General. An
geles, who i3 a member of the rebel
Cabinet, came from Torreon last night
for the conference. Soldiers guarded
the streets from the railroad station
to Carranza's palace, while crowds of
onlookers cheered. Last night the mil
itary band, one of tho best in Mexico,
seernaded the .distinguished visitor and
his host for hours. In the parks the
populace made holiday. No official an
nouncement of the proceedings of the
conference was made except lhat it
was harmonious. It was understood on
high authority, however; that it was
determined to prosecute the revolution
regardless of the- estrangement be
tween Washington and the City of Mex
ico, . so long as rebel territory is not
invaded or threatened.
Hundreds of messages, some con
gratulatory and others dealing with
business, military and diplomatic sub
jects, were received.
