SlaytorAia's Troops Reported 'Ad vancing to Attack righting Yes terday Regarded as Violation of Pending Truce. DOUGLAS, Ariz., Nov. 6. Renewal of the fighting between the Villa and Car ranza forces In Sonora at Agua Prieta, just across the border, and at Naco seems Imminent. Following the reported clash at Mag dalena today between a Villa detach ment sent from Naco by General Hill and the Maytorena-Carranza advance guard, both sides openly prepared for attacks on Agua Prieta and Naco. Several bodies of Maytorena's troops were reported late today to have ad vanced within sight of Naco. May torena, who is at Nogales, Sonora, with a part of his forces, announced that he would leave for Naco tomorrow to re new the siege. Carranza officials There announced that Hill had completed three series Of barbed wire entanglements about Naco which are charged with 3400-volt cur rent from the Naco power plant The ground before the town also has been mined, they said. At Agua Prieta, the Carranza garri son of 600 men under Lieutenant-Colonel Arnoulfo Gomez is being newly armed with high-power rifles just re ceived. There Is reported on the way here a shipment of 1000 Mausers, 2,000,- 000 cartridges, six machine guns and two pieces of field artillery. ' The entrenchments have also been protected with barbed wire entangle ments charged with hlgh-tenston cur rent and secret mines. An armistice was declared by the Hill and Maytorena forces a fortnight ago through the efforts of the Aguas Callen- tes convention. Since then there have been several clashes of authority be tweea the convention and Carranza. Both Agua Prieta and Naco have con tinued to recognize the authority of the first clflef. The fighting at Magdalena today Is interpreted as a violation of the truce, so that an extension of hostilities is expected. - CARRANZA CLAIMS 20 STATES Villa, However, Dominates Solid i Block In Northwest. EL PASO, Tex., Nov. 5. Carranza of ficials claim 20 states out of the 31 states and territories in Mexico in the present conflict with the Villa factions which today resulted In actual conflict below Aguas Callentes. The result of the battle was not learned, but it Is 4cnown strong forces have met almost at the city where a week ago an at tempt was made peacefully to' adjust the factional disagreement. The states dominated by Villa form a solid block in the Northwest, thus giv ing the northern chieftain a more ad vantageous position, especially in view of the border territory he controls and the ease with which war munitions can be shipped from the United States. The only exception to this Is the State of Morelos, controlled largely by Zapata, whom the Villa faction claims, but whose troops the Carranza element as serts are controlled by neither side. Rafael Muzqulz, the Carranza Consul General to the United States, received today an explanation of the "first chief's" action rejecting the nomina tion by the Aguas Callentes conference" of Eulallo Gutierrez to serve as a Pro visional President for 20 days, and of Carranza's presence at Fuebla. The message was signed by Tsidro Fabela. Carranza's Acting Minister of Foreign Relations. He named 12 states, the Governors of which had recognized the Carranza central government In the present argument. ! ARMY LONG SNOW Russian Column Marches 30 Hours In Mountains.
