Washington, Dec. 21.-Gen. Fran
cisco Villa with 1000 men armed, it
is believed, against his own organiza-
lion, is somewhere in Chihuahua
state. The Carranza de facto govern
ment is in official control of the for
mer Villa state of Chihuahua, by vir-
tue of an agreement between Gener-
ais Roberto Limon, Manuel Banda,
Lieut.-Col. Flaviano Paliza and Col.
Eduardo Andalon, and Carranza Con-
sui General Andrcas Garcia, by which
1900 troops and the organization of
the Villa government, including the
cities Of Juarez and chihuahua and
all border points accept the Carranza
domination.
The agreement grants amnesty to
all but Gen. Villa and his brother Hip
olito. Qualification and relief were
frankly displayed by administration
officials when news came from Ell
Paso that seven of Gen. Villas gen.
erals and leaders had signed an
agreement to turn the rebel army of
