 ise to United States

Chihuahua, Mex, Dec. 19-Generai Francisco villa said today he would be disposed to follow the suggestions of the United States as to the rights of foreigners in Mexico. In conform ity with this plan, he named com mittee to take inventory of the property of expelled Spaniards and said he would indemnify such as had not actively supported the Huerta government.
 General Villa has received through the American consul representations which expressed the position of the United States in assuming moral re 'sponsibi1ity for the welfare of clt1- ems of other nations and which cal- ed. upon General Villa for a strict accounting of his acts should the rights of any foreigners be violated.
 A communication also had been re- ceived from General Carranza, the head of the revolution, following the protests of Spanfards that their prop erty had been seized and the protests of other foreigners that they had been forced to pay money to the rebel cause.

 They were confident of guiding the deliberations today so that the Iona debated measure will pass by safe majority and go to conference with the House where, with prompt action, leaders hope to see that the bill is ready for President wilson's signature by Tuesday at the latest.
 Most of the differences between the two houses may be said to have been ironed out in advance. Majority Leader Underwood is authority for the statement that only two or three serious points of difference remain and they are not expected to pro1Ong the conference. One of the most inn portant points of difference concerns when the new currency system shall go into operation.

F Federals Just Miss
 Catching Rebel Leader

Mexico City, Dec 1e-The federal troops just missed capturing EmiIiano Zapata, the rebel leader, yesterday at NenaperaL ranch in the federal dis trict about 15 miles to the south of Mexico City where he had, established his temporary headquarters during his recent attacks on the government forces.
 The federal troops approached the ranch and skirmishing with Zapata's followers proceeded for an hour, re- su1ting in the frout of the rebels. Rebel prisoners told their captors that Zapata himself was in command and was one of the last to escape. He broke through the circle of federal troops with a, few companions who used their machetes to cut their way out. ;.
 The report sent to the war office by the federal commander said the reb- els were not pursued owing to dark ness and the difficult nature of the country.
 Persons coming from the state Of Merelose today confirm the report that the activity of Zapata is due to in- structions from General Carranzas who is alleged to have sent several ennissaFies to confer with Zapata and other rebel leaders in the south They are reported to have supplied Zapata with funds for the renewal of his campaign against the federals.
