Ell Paso, Tex, April 17.-Disappointmen
was freely expressed here today over the
lack of any official confirmation Of the
death of Francisco Villa. Mexican off,
Gals here and in Juarez, while still pro-
Tossing confidence In the truth OF the re-
port, could offer no explanation as to the
silence Of Colonel Carlos Carranza and
the other officers and officials who were
reported to have the body of the bandit
In charge.
A number of newspaper correspondents
and a few other Americans left here early
today for Chihuahua in the hopes that
the report of the finding Of Villas body
was true. Several other Americans who
at first had intended to go abandoned the
trip. some through skepticism and others
because of rioting that was reported here
to have occurred in the Mexican state
capital during the last two days.
Messages received here in regard to
this riotng stated that there had been
no anti-American outbreak but that the
trouble was due solely to the desperate
condition of the masses Of the people,
who are facing starvation.
High Cost Of Food
Corn was selling in Chihuahua at two
pesos. worth four cents American money,
a quart; beans, the staple factor Of the
poorer Mexicans' diet, cost two and a
half pesos kilogram "a little over two
pounds; lard is Is pesos a quart. With
the standard Of pay for days work at
two pesos. the laboring classes are finding
hard time keeping body and soul to-
gether.
According to the messages received here
the rioters have looted several food
shops and only very half-hearted at
tempts to control them have been made
by the soldiers who are themselves in
almost as bad plight as the civilians.
Arrivals from Parral report there
are only three Americans left in that
city. The three are men who have been
received into Mexican families and re-
gard themselves as immune from the
prevailing hostility toward the grin
goes" Among the Americans who left
Parral following the fight between the
Mexican garrison and the American
soldiers on Wednesday was a woman
missionary.
1T was hopeless for me to think of
continuing my work, she said today.
THE feeling against Americans was
growing in volume every day and the
fighting on Wednesday was the climax.
The people Of Parral are strongly SYM
pathetic with Villa, whom they regard
as Mexican hero who is being perse-
cuted by America. They have also been
told the old story about General Car
rama having sold Mexico to the United
States.

In Galicia along the Stripa river the
Teutons have made several attempts
against Russian trenches, but all OF them
were repulsed, according to Petrograd.
Russians Capture Town
The big guns on both sides are in
action along most Of the Austro-ltai-
ian front. In the Sugana valley the
Austrians delivered attacks against the
Italians from the Larganza torrent to
Mont Colo but they were everywhere
repulsed. In Asiatic Turkey the Rus
slams on the Black seacoast have cap
tured the town of Surmeneh, and
pushed farther westward against the
retreating Turks to krsene kelessi less
than II miles from the important forti-
fed town of Trebizond.
The Russians are anticipating no
easy conquest Of Trebizond according
to unofficial advices from Petrograd,
the town having been heavily fortified
and reinforced with three complete di-
visions Of troops. The Turks are de-
clared to be resisting furiously the on
ward press of the Russians against
Baiburt, northwest Of ErZerum in the
attainment of which the Russians hope
to join hands with their men fighting
in the Black sea literal.
The British government hereafter
will regulate the shipments of Ameri-
can packing houses to all neutral Eu-
ropean countries for the period OF the
war, according to an agreement reach
ed between the government and the
packers in the settlement of the cases
arising from the seizure by Great Brit
ain Of cargoes of packers products.
