FL Paso. Tex, April 16.-Fran-
cisco Villa, objective of the Amer
lean punitive expedition in Mexico,
is dead and his body is on the way
TO the border, according to official
dispatches received to-day and to-
night by General Gabriel Gavira,
Carranza commander at Juarez
Doubt as 10 the truth Of these re-
ports is expressed by army officers
here, who suspect ruse to get the
army out Of Mexico.
The bandit chieftain succumoed to
an infected wound in the knee, these
edyices state, on ranch near Sa-
tevo. Discovery of the grave was
made through captured villa
colonel. according 70 a report sent
bv General Cavazos. who added that
he personally had identified the
body. He said the body had been IN
TERED for several days.
Andres Garcia, Mexican Consul at
FL Paso. announced that the body OF
Villa was on the way to Cusinuiri-
achic, where it would arrive To-
night. It then would be sent to Chi-
huahua, he said. thence TO Juarel'
there TO be exposed to the view o.
Americans. that all doubt as TO the
claim that Villa was dead might oe
dispelled. =,
Senior Garcia said he had telegraphed
70 Governor Enriquez in Chihuahus'
asking that the body be sent on 70
Juarez as soon as possible for idenu-
fication by Americans and exhibition IN
the Plaza of the city. Consul Garcia
said he felt confident his request would
be granted.
United States Army men here TO-
night pointed out that any number OF
dead Mexicans of Villas build would
look as much like villa ss any one else
several days after death. Il was an
nounced tonight that American physi-
clans who had treated Villa would
make an examination Of the body
thought 20 be Villas. il Carranzs Of
fcials will permit such sn e1amina-
ton. It Is no. believed the Carranza
officials will consent. They are not IN
clined TO yield ID point TO Americans IN
ANYTHING. and 70 permit American physi-
clans to make an examination after
Mexican physicians had pronounced
the body 20 be Villas would. in Mex
lean opinion. be a reflection upon the
integrity Of Mexican physicians.
One hopeful indication, army men
here say. was found in the report OF
General Persning. stating that MAJOR
Howe. commanding a detachment oi
the lith Cavalry. reported II as fact
that Wills was in the mountains soutn-
west O, San Francisco Borja, which IS
northwest Of Parral. where it IS claimed

Villa Is Dead.
From The Tribune Bureau.

Washington. April 16.-The clearing
I'D Of the Parral fight, even more than
the death OF Villa, must precede the
withdrawal of American troops from
Mexico. il was learned on high author
ity here tonight. Reports from Gen
eral Obregon of the dispersal and close
pursuit Of the remnants OF Villas band
had given ground for hoping that the
withdrawal could take place soon.
No withdrawal, however. will take
place while there is any suspicion OF
treachery on the part OF the Carranza
government. It is stated positively. The
death Of Wills, The original object OF
the expedition, is now Of secondary i'm
portance to this. With the destruction
Of all force. with which he could make
further trouble along the border. how
ever. the Administration is prepared TO
consider that the purposes or the IN
vasion have practically been accom-
plished If the Parrsl trouble can be
cleared up.
In spite OF lLe apparent NNh'lf~N
tween the report of General Obregon,
who told Of an understanding between
the commanders on both SIDES follow
ing the Parral fight and that o. zen
oral Funston. officials believed the slt-
uation was not critical.
Cannot Blame Carranza.
The American report, Il is pointed
out. shows that the Carranza com
rrander tried 10 restrain his troops so
that the Csrranza government cannot
be held responsible for their actions
Administration officials are waiting
full confirmation OF the Mexican re-
ports. The reported death OF via Is
pleasing, and the report OF an under
standing at Parral more SO.
Neither the State or war Depart
ment had any confrmatory advices on
the subject of Villas death from
American sources. Reports reaching
81 Paso and other border points were
forwarded for information. but neither
American consuls nor military author
tie. in Mexico were heard from. There
was no attempt here 20 disguise tnelf
