dier, by United States stroops near
Preside, Tex.

all foreigners in Chihuahua who have
not aided the federals.

WillIndemnify Spaniardsf for
Property Taken.
SOME EXCEPTIONS MADE
Declares Many Persons of Spanish
Blood Aided Huerta in Securing
These Will Not Be Reimbursed.

Chihuahua, Mex, Dec. 20.-General
Francisco Villa said he would be dis.
posed to follow the suggestions OF
the United States as to the rights of
foreigners in Mexico
In conformity with this plan he
named a committee to take an inven.
tory of the property of the expelled
Spaniards and said he would indemni.
fly such of the Spaniards as had not
actively supported the Huerta govern
ment.
General Villa had received through
the American consul representations
which expressed the position of the
United States in assuming moral re-
sponsibility for the welfare of citizens
of other nations and which called
upon General Villa for a strict ac-
counting 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 the Spaniards that their
property had been seized and the
protests of other foreigners that they
had been forced to pay money to the
rebel cause.
Ordered Property Held.
Il ordered all property belonging to
Spaniards to be contiscated and held
by the rebel government pending an
investigation as to what Spaniards
aided Huerta," said Villa.
In order to guarantee the property
while it is in our hands | have named
honorable and responsible persons tc
take inventory of it.
1T was necessary to expel the Span
iards because their lives were in dan
ger here and it was necessary to i'm
pose a penalty of death in order thai
they would go. 1t is well known thai
in the uprising in Mexico City last
February hundreds of Spaniards il
the ciudad sided with Felix Diaz anC
with arms co-operated in the upris
ing which enabled Huerta to bring
so much suffering to Mexicans.
