Ell Paso, Tex, April 17.-Francisco
Villa is dead and his body, disinterred
some days after his burial, is in pcs
session of the Carranza troops, &C.
cording to series of telegraphic
messages received in Juarez by the
Mexican officials
For more than a week reports that
Villa had died from wounds have been
current both here and in Juarez.
The accounts were the most circum-
stantial and apparently reliable yet
received.
They were accepted with reserve by
American officials, including General
Bell, but the Mexican officials express
ed confidence in their reliability.
The messages, in the order in which
they were received, were as follows
The dispatcher of the Mexican
Northwestern railroad at Juarez re.
ported to General Gabriel Gavira, Car.
rama commander at Juarez, that he
had heard conversation over the
telegraph wires that Villas body was
in the hands of the Carranza troors
General Gavira notified Consul An.
dres Garcia here, who rushed mes.
sages to the telegraph operator at Ma.
dera and Cusihuiriachaic, asking for
confirmation.
The MADEIRA and Cusihuiriacahic op.
orators answered, confirming the re.
port and stating the body was being
taken to Chihuahua City.
The telegraph operator at San An
tonic, fifty miles west of Chihuahua
telegraphed Consul Garcia that Villas
body was in possession of Colonel
Carlos CarranZa, nephew of General
Carranza, who was taking it in a spe
cial train to chihuahua City.
In reply to these messages tele
grams were sent to the Carranza gen
erals in the field and officials in Mex
leo City, Chihuahua and other points
asking confirmation, but no answers
have yet been received.
