WASHINGTON, Jan. 12.-Secretary Lansing today sent this communica- tion to Consul Silliman at Queretaro, for presentation to General Carranza:
 "On January 10, C. R. Watson chair man of the Mine and Shelter Opera ton of Chihuahua and General Mama ger of the Cusihuiriachic Mining Com pany with fifteen of his associates all representative Americans, while en- route from Chihuahua to their mine at Cusihuiriachic were taken off the train forty miles west of Chihuahua City by bandits operating under the direction of General Villa, stripped naked and deliberately shot and killed.
 Their bodies were brought to Fl Paso.
 Ut is stated that these men were murdered because they were Ameri- cans and were killed in accordance with the general policy publicly an nounced recently by Villa.

CHARTERS 0F
 FEDERATION
 ARE RETURNED
Special to The Republican,

CLIFTON, Ariz., Jan. 12.-Three Western Federation of Miners char ters were dispatched from Clifton by express today to the headquarters of the organization in Denver, Earlier in the day, deputations from the Clifton, Morenci and Metcalf loca.s, visited Sheriff J. G. Cash and formally turned over to him the tangible evidence of their utilization with the federation. The surrender of these charters marked the passing of federation dom ination in the Clifton Morenci district and it is believed to have opened the way to a speedy settlement of the strike which has been in progress for several months and which has thrown from four to five thousand men out Of employment during the time.
 There is now every reason to be- lieve that not later than tomorrow the mine managers will have some propo- sition to offer the strikers and it is believed that a committee from the men will be named to confer with the managers The executive committee of the strikers today announced that the next move must come from the managers as the men had complied with every request of the managers.
 Optimism prevails all over the dis trct and the end of the strike is looked for within a very few days and cer-
 tainly before the end of the month. That the men will be granted sub stantial increases, probably on the basis of the prevailing price of copper, is believed. The managers in Fl Paso today admitted they had received for nal notification of the surrender of the charters, but beyond announcing they would confer tomorrow, would make no further comment.
 Quiet prevails in the district. The
 assessment work on the claims of the ! Detroit Copper Company has been completed and the men imported to do | the work have left the district. United States Marshal Dillon and his deputies have also left Clifton. Marshal Dillon before leaving announced that neither | he nor his men had experienced the
 least bit of trouble while enforcing the federal court order restraining the 1 strikers from interfering with the per ! formance of the assessment work.
