villa Is known 10 have had numerous
sympathizers among the lower classes
in the city, and 1t was considered
probable that their sympathy would
take the form of violence If they
learned the body of their hero was be-
ing brought to Chihuahua to be ex-
hibited as that of a criminal.
Near this lonely spot the Carranza
soldiers are said to have exhumed the
body of the bandit. One leg is said to
and to be in such a gangrenous cOndi-
tion that there was no doubt as to the
cause of death.
Shortly after the first messages were
received in Juarez bugles blew a tri-
umpLant fanfare outside General Ga
vira's headquarters and the roll of
drums summoned the soldiers to hear
the news. A column of troops was
quickly formed, and, headed by the
buglers, marched down the sunny,
dusty streets toward the plaza. The
news flashed from one end of Juares
to the other and throngs of civilians
Joined the procession in its triumphal
march. The big crowd poured into the
plaza and waited patiently for more
than an hour in expectation of one of
the familiar prOclamations which fol-
low every important event in Mexi-
can town. They disappeared slowly
as it became evident that no proclama-
ton was forthcoming.
If Villas body has been brought to
San Antonio preparatory to shipping
it to Chihuahua City, as reports here
state, confirmation of the news should
be received shortly from General
Pershing. San Antonio is on the Mex
lean Northwestern railroad, so miles
west of Chihuahua, and is the point
through which the American troops
passed after crossing the great con-
| tinental divide in their drive south fol-
lowing the battle at Guerrero. 1t is
me of the points on General Pershing' S
lines of communication and a detach-
ment of United States soldiers is on
luty near there.

U-BOATS SANK SHIPS
GERMANY TELLS U. S. VESSELS
WE'RE LEGAL PREY.
Thinks Sussex Hit a Mine-Another
Steamer Was 'rorpedoed Near
the ticene.

Berlin, April Ia (by wireless) The
German reply to the American note
concerning the damaging or sinking of
five steamships contains the statement
that the steamers Englishman, Eagle
Point, Manchester Engineer and Ber-
windvale were de stroyed by German
submarines. Evidehce is presented to
show that these vessels were tor
pedoed legally in accordance with the
rules of war.
The note states that German sub
marine torpedoed "a steamship in the
vicinity of the place at which the chan
mel steamship Sussex was damaged by
an explosion, but that the evidence
at hand indicates that the vessel tor
pedoed by the submarine was not the

The commander of this submarine,
the note says made a sketch at the
time. This sketch has been compared
with a photograph of the Sussex and
has been found I'd show dissimilarities

Therefore it is presumed mine was
responsible for the damaging of the
Sussex. In the way of corroboration,
it is stated that German naval forces
destroyed 26 floating mines on that
day.
Regarding the case of the English
man, Manchester Engineer, Eagle
Point and Berwindvale. it is stated
they were signaled to halt, but disre-
garded the signals. Thereupon warn
ing shots were fired.
The statement is made that the sub
marine commanders assured them
selves before sinking the ships that
their destruction was justified and
that the crews were safely in boats, no
man being left aboard the vessels.

Chicago, April 15.-The specter of
sugar at ten cents pound hovers
over the country. And, trailing along
behind it, is the possibility of a sugar
famine.
Not one Chicago wholesale grocer
would consent to being quoted on the
present and future condition of the
American sugar market. All agreed
that the retailer will before long be
forced to tax housewives ten cents d

because of drought. This leaves a
visible supply available of 100000

ported to General Gavira, CarranZa
commander at Juarez, that he had
heard a conversation over the tele-
graph wires to the effect that Villas

sui Andres Garcia here, who rushed
messages to the telegraph operators
at MADEIRA and Cusihuiriachic asking
for confirmation. The MADEIRA and
Cusihuirachic operators answered con-
firming the report and stating the

The telegraph operator at San Anto-
