 After the execution, General Gavira. the Carranza commander, announced that the dead men had made full con- fessions.
 Last night the prisoners, numbering an even dozen, were informed that sunrise this morning was the finally appointed time. It was not a false alarm.
 At 4 80 tn S morning the officers in charge of the firing squad called on the head of the guard of the cuartei. No mere words were wasted. The dozen prisoners were awakened, their arms bound, and, guarded by de- tachment of infantry, they were com pelled to head a procession down the Garkenei street and out to the ancient cemetery.
 Dig Own Graves.
 Before their backs were placed against a wall the prisoners were led to nearby corner of the cemetery, their arms were unbound and they were furnished with spades w th- out word they commenced to dig their own graves. The soldiers chat ted and smoked cigarettes while the condemned men made their final beds. Meanwhile, the wives and children of the prisoners, perched on the fence short distance away, shouted and waved goodbyes.
 When the graves were deep enough, the prisoners were moved over against the adobe walls, and divided into squads of three. The first squad composed of Chaverria, Borroel and Hernandez, were first signed to take their stand against the wall. The members of the other squads for the time being became spectators.
 Chavarr'a a was executed first and liic OlIlGl lWU were SliOI lO UCdlu mediately afterward. Each, before the fatal shot was fired, cried ''Viva Mexi- CO.,"
 There was an uneasy shifting by the members of the three remaining squads. Which was 10 be next? There was to be no next this morning. The captain announced that the n ne remaining prisoners were to be re- turned to the curtael and await another day.

CABINET ALARMED.
Fears Felt For Safety of Troops in
 Mexico.

Washington, April 11.-Reports to the war department from army avia- tors confirmed the apprehension of the general staff that Francisco Villa hae escaped his pursuers.
 The state department has nothinr to confirm the report that Villa is either dead Or wounded. and army of- ficers tn nk his reported wounding may be a trick of war.
 War and state department officials were disappointed when General Scott, acting secretary of war, made public a telegram from General Funs- ton. which was taken to indicate that Villa had escaped. The telegram said:
 "Following received from Columbus today:
 'Av ators D'Argue and Gorrelll ar rived in aeroplanes this morning in little over four hours They brought no dispatches from General Persh- ing"
 State department officials said re- ports of Villas death were not new. but frequent. Villa may now be they said, in the state of Durango, rallyng his friends.
 High officials in touch with the cabinet discussion today declare the administration is alarmed over condi- tions in the rear of General Persh- ing. The people are said to be hos title and it is stated that if Pershins should be cut off from his base at Columbus, the American soldiers may act on their own account and that catastrophe may occur.
 A high official said the large num- Der of American troops which have been sent secretly into Mexico and which do not belong to the columns in pursuit of the fleeinsgs bandit were sent there "for the purpose of providing against a collision with forces other than Villista." Army officers declined to disclose the number of troops moved into Mexico against this possible contin- gency.
