HEAR VILLA HAS CONFESSED.
Rebel Chief Aansits KILLING Benton
with6ut Court. Martial.


WASHINGTON, Feb. 26.-Reports were
current In unofficial circles in Washing
ton late tonight that Villa had con-
tossed to the killing Of Benton. the Brit
ish rancher, without the formality Of q
court martial. Officials in the State De-
partment had received no Information to
this effect and members of the Consti-
nationalist junta in Washington also
contended that the reports were ground
less. so far as they knew.
Nevertheless the intimation persisted
that disclosures were Imminent that
would remove all doubt as to the fact
that Benton met mis- death without a
court-martial.
On top OF this report came the infor-
nation which indicated that a split be-
tween Carranza and Villa is likely to
occur at any time. 1t has been known
here for several days that many OF the
Constitutionalists 1ho are close to Car
rama have been chafing under Villas
conduct and have been rapidly reaching
the conclusion that Carranza must
break with him IL the latter is to save
himself and the movement which he
inaugurated.
The information which reached WASH
ington was that Carrsnza Is about to be
Joined by Obrejan. a rebel leader. with
5000 men. and that they are to hold a
conference at Chihuahua with villa. On
the result OF that conference probably
will depend whether Villa and Carranza
will continue to stand together In a
common cause.
1t is apparent that the forces are
threatened with disruption. villa has
been the fighting man in the present
movement in the north OF Mexico. while
Carranza was supposed to be the direct
ing head.
II the information proves correct that
the killing of Benton without court
martial has been established the United
States undoubtedly will be called upon
by England to act against Villa. 1t
will rest with President Wilson then
to decide whether he will continue his
policy of watchful waiting or whether
he will take active steps to punish the
rebel leader.
