 CONFLICTING REPORTS.
 WASHINGTON, July 9-Villa tele- grabjhed the American consular agent at Chihuahua that he led the Carran- ga forces under General Hill, into a trap and severly defeated them in the vicinity of Agua Calientes Consular reports from Aguas Calientes received earlier in the day reported that Villa had been defeated south of Aguas Cal ientes and was force dto retreat norhward The State Department is unable to clarify this discrepancy Secretary Lansing revealed that some consuls in Mexico had reported that while there was a shortage of good. the problem would become acute with 'in three or four weeks
 Some officials thought the retiring movement which Villa referred to, as preceding victory had been premature ly described as a defeat. On the other hand the Carranza agency had the re- port that it's forces administered a crushing blow to the Villa army. which is said to have been cut down to about seven or eight thousand men.
