Washington Unconcerned

Washington, December 22.-Whether General Villa crosses the border into the United States lost much of it's interest in Washington today when it became known that General Ochoa, commanding the Villa garrison at Juarez, had agreed to the surrender of his men and had ac- cepted "a commission from the de facto government. Officials said that Villa at large might continue troublesome, but that without an army he was eliminated as real menace.
 The arrival of General Trevina at Chi hUahua City with a Carranza force had not been reported to the state depart ment, but announcement of the fact in press dispatches added to official op- timism.
 Agents of the department still reported lack of knowledge of Villas whereabouts. Should he fail to cross into the United States officials here think it will be- but a short time before he is run down by the Carranza forces. since he has lost both Juarez and Chihuahua There re- mains, however the possibility of his reaching the force operating under Gen eral Rodriguez.
 Late advices to the state department said General Oregon was moving 110o0 men for service in the campaign against the Indians on the west coast

CARRANzA TAKING CONTROL

H-i IdSu' Lex, DecemDere Zz.-In6 ue facto government of Mexico made pro- gress today in assumption of civil and military authority in the territory sur rendered recently by followers of General Villa, according to reports reaching here from various sources. Villas where abouts was still unknown here
 General Trevino at the head of a mil itary force representing the de facto government was reported to have success fully engaged the remnants of Villa S forces and occupied Chihuahua City Gen. eral Oregon, whose forces recently drove General Villa from Sonora, was said to be en route from Nogales to Juarez to as- sume military control
 General Ochoa, former Villa military chief at Juarez, today renounced the Villa cause and joined the de facto gov ernment, Temporarily he had been placed in control of the surrendered tsrritory by tie Carranze consul here
 t1ipohto Villa, brother of the tleposed chief, was said to have left Juarez for San Antonio, Tex
 General Jose Rodriguez. until recently one of Villas principal leaders was re- ported with a small force at Casas Grandes His attitude toward the de 1acto government was unknown here.
 SIGNS PEACE PACT
 General Ochoa, the only officer of the Villa faction in Juarez who did not sign the agreement of surrender December 20. after accepting the terms of the peace pact today, issued a proclamation to the people on behalf of himself and his troops pledging allegiance to the de facto government. The proclamation was pub lished after the Carranza Consul Garcia had overruled the action of former Villa generals to place General Robles in charge of civil and military organizations in the surrendered Villa territory and Ochoa in command of former Villa troops
 The mystery surrounding General Villas whereabouts baffled authorities. Last night Villa was expected to reach Juarez at dawn according to reports to the American consualte at Juarez. For several days the report has been current that Villa was at the Bustillos ranch west of Chihuahua City. For four days commercial wires south of Juarez have carried no message from the deposed northern chieftain.
 The departure from Juarez of American Consul Edwards. coincident with the first news of Villas retirement, caused specu- lation as to whether he had received in structions to receive Villa at point greed upon east of here, possibly Sierra Blanca. Edwards said he intended taking brief rest
 The reported arrival of Trevino at Chi huahua and Ochoa's ratification of the surrender place Villa, if still in Chihuahua state, between hostile forces. Should he seek to reach the United States. it is said, he is likely to come to the border, east or west of Juarez because the sur render agreement accepted there by Car ranza officials specifically excluded Villa and his brother Hipoito.
