BRITISH SUBJECT MURDERED
AT JUAREZ BY VILLAS men
Mexican Bandit Fails to Heed Warn
ing to Protect Foreigners and
Orders Execution.

Washington.-A slumbering Mexican
situation was brought quickly to a
point of intense international interest
Friday by the flash of a message that
William S. Benton a British subject,
had been killed in Juarez by order OF
General Francisco Villa, the constitu-
tionalist commander.
Sir Cecil Spring-Rice, the British
ambassador, conferred with Secretary
Bryan about 1t; President Wilson and
his cabinet discussed it briefly, and
a thorough investigation was ordered
by the state department from consular
representatives on the border.
In this case, for the first time since
the present revolution began year
ago, the warning from the United
States government to Mexican factions
to protect all foreigners went unheed
ed, although there is every evidence
to show that both the British embas
sador an dthe state department were
advised too late of Benton's impend
ing fate to interceded for him
The news shocked OFFICIALS who had
come to believe that General Villa full
ly realized the position of the Amer
lean government in regard to the pro
lection OF foreigners in Mexico, partic
ularly in the north of that country.

NORTHERN MEXICO MAY
Be INDEPENDENT REPUBLIC
Plan to Establish Northern Republic
Has Been Seriously Considered
by Rebel Leaders.

Chihuahua, Mexico.-Sentimen is
growing among certain rebel leaders
that If the attack on Torreon is de
layed much longer, or if the federal
army succeeds in holding that city,
northern Mexico will detach itself
from the rest Of the country and be-
come an independent republic.
While General Carranza, the civil
head of the revolution, and General
Villa, the military head, disclaim any
intention to be satisfied with any
thing less than the overthrow Of
Huerta, and the success of the con-
stitutionalist cause over the entire
country, 1t is known that the plan to
establish a northern republic has
been seriously considered by them
and others.
General Villas delay in the attack
on Torreon and reports emanating
from Mexico City that the federal
garrison has been strengthened to a
point where it can put up a formida-
Bile resistance, have given renewed
impetus to the idea of a separation
of the north from the south and Gen
eral Carranza's coming to Chihuahua
state from the Pacific coast is looked
upon as possibly portending an early
adoption of the plan.
Many rebel leaders profess to be-
lieve that whatever the outcome Of
the present revolution the north and
the south will not soon be complete
ly amalgamated. The north, they as
sert, already is politically independ-
ent and has adopted progressive at
titude wholly at variance to condi-
lions in the south, where two fac
tions-the Indifferent and the adher-
ents of the old Diaz regime-predom-
mate.

break with the Republican party III

the national convention after the
adoption of the gold standard plank.
His return to Colorado from that con-
vention was marked by a public well
