THAT NUMBER HAVE MET DEATH DURING THE PRESENT REvo-
 LUTON IN MEXICO.
HUERTA EXPRESSES SURPRISE
That General Villa Would Order or Sanction the Execution of Forelgner-Eneland Awaits Con firmatIon of Bentons Execution.

Mexico City, Feb. 20.-The execu. tion of Wm Benton, a British subject by the rebels in Juarez has revived the fear among government support. CTS that the United States will be forced by Great Britain to take some action that easily might become inter- vention.
 Although since revolutionary condi- tions assumed serious proportion three years ago there have been Kill ed in various parts of the country some 150 Americans including partici- pants on both sides of the revolutions. there are on record the deaths of only four Brltishers, including Benton. The three others killed were killed i1 dis tricts where the chiefs of neither fac ton had direct authority. Benton's is the first case where it appears that euipability may be placed definitely.
 Sir Lionel Garden, the British minister has received TO advices concerning the execution of Benton and does not expect any except incl. dentally, since in his opinion the case does not concern the government to which he is accredited Consular ad- vices of the putting to death of eBn- ton were received today at the fro eign office, where the news aroused an attitude of expectancy.
 That the constitutionalists had executed foreigner surprised Presf- dent Huerta, who always has insisted that General Francesca Villa belong ed to the irresponsible type of leader and soner or later was certain to bring about serious complications with some foreign power.
 Gossip has been current here for several days that certain of the Euro pean powers again were planning to urge the United States to assume more active policy in restoring peace in Mexico and many persons today expressed the belief that the Benton incident might be used as an oppor- tunity to impress such a view on Washington. Various diplomats to- day intimated that they would use tns killing of Benton as the basis of re- ports to show their helplessness when it comes to protecting their natio IS in Mexico.

MT. Benton, you never have been cattle taken out of the country. We can use them ourselves"
 At this point it is assumed the quarrel started. Benton was not in accord with the Madero revolution, whi,h expelled Pofrio Diaz from Mexico, and in the foreign club at Chihuahua was wont to express his opinions freely. He also criticized succeeding revolutions, but his friends agree he never went further. They asserted unanimously that he kept out of politics and accepted his losses without any overt act of at tempted reprisal.
 The many persons who knew him well in Chihuahua and along the bor- der assert that he never owned re- volver and did not have one with him when he went to JuaTeZ. Villa on Wednesday night, talking to a report CT, asserted that he had Benton's six shooter.
 Villa did not tell the American con- sul that Benton was court martialed, but official Juarez today was busy with assertions to that effect Names of those who sat as a court were giv- en out for publication, and it was stated at the jefetura that Benton's last request was that his property be turned over to his widow.
 Edwards last night asked Villa for the body, to be brought to this side of the river, but the request was de- nied.
 "Then as a favor to me and to the widow, will you have the grave mark ed?" asked the consul. This Villa promised.
 Benton, 1t is said, was tried on a charge of conspiracy against the reb- el government and with provoking and insulting Gen. Villa" Maj. Ge- sus Rodoriquez presided; Adrien Aguerra Benavides acted as general adviser to the court and Maj. Man uel Gloria acted as prosecutor Ben ton is believed to have been held in communicate the while, and it is ad' mitted that there was none there to represent him.
 That there was a real court martial nearly everybody on this side Of the river doubts. The doubters contrast the case of Gustav Bauch, German American, accused of being spy. Ac- cording to the rebels, the case o1 the obscure Bauch has been on trlal for fear days and it was said today that no decision had been reached
 Geo. c. CarIhers, who represents the state department in many deal ings with the rebels. and who will De present at the battle of Torreon in the interests of foreigners, was prom ised a report of the alleged court martial.
 News that the government at Washington had ordered an inves- tigation was received by refugees with indifference or with sneers. They were too excited to take calm view of the situation.
 Benton comes of an excellent Scotch family. His maternal grand father, Col. Hay, is said to have par tfcipated as an officer in the famous charge of the light brigade at Baia- kava. Two cousins are in the Brit ish army. One, Capt. Norman Ben ton, is with the engineer corps at Eastbourne, England. The other, Lieut.. Ivan Benton, is an artillery officer, at present on leave in Swift zerland.
