yesterday, the conference lasting
american officers returned to this
side of the line.
While no statement was given
out as to the result OF the con-
ference. il any were accomplish
ed, it is understood that the
MexiCans made the preliminary
announcement that they were di-
rected to request General Scott to or
der the withdrawal of General Perish
ing and his troops from Mexican soil,
the issuing of such an order to be. pre-
liminary to a general discussion of the
situation. General Obregon stated that
his instructions were based on the
withdrawal of the American troops and
that he was not authorized to discuss
any basis Of cooperation that included
the use of American soldiers in Mexico.
SCOTS Reply Plain
He was informed by General Scott
that he on his part had no authority
to discuss the withdrawal of the Amer
lean troops, bnt that he would insist
upon pledges from the lie factO govern
ment of Mexico for the most effective
cooperation between the two forces in
the field for the carrying out of Their
common object, the suppression of the
border bandits and the death or cap
ture of Villa.
Such cooperation must include the
- 81 -,
lines to Casas Grandes and so
strengthen their position as to make
effective attack upon the line of com
munication impossible. The border dis
tricts of the north are to be pOliced
by the American troops while the
south, below the American lines is to
be policed by the Carranz istas, the lat
ter to cut off any possible retreat of
Villa and his men.
Use Of Railroads
There must also be, General Scott is
reported to have stated, cooperation
between the Carranzistas and the
Americans in the matter Of forwarding
supplies to the Americans in the field
with the United States army given
the right to use the Mexican govern
ment railroads for the transportation
. o. troops and the forwarding of sup
plies.
villa Dead Again
During the course of the conference
fresh reports of the death of PanehC
villa were received by General Obre
gon, in dispatches from General Gar
ia, in command at Casas Grapdes
These reports brought a new factor
into the situation and compile ated mat
tiers for the American representatives
Garcia telegraphed that he had re
ccived word from Col. Carlos Carran "a
who was sent out TO bring in the body
of the bandit chief when the reports
of his death were first received, that
he has been unable to find the body Of
Villa but has secured indisput abl'
proof that the chieftain is dead. Colo
mel Carranza reports that he hopes t
find the body within a few days anC
make the fact of the death beyond any
further question.
The American officials while appar
emily in doubt of the authenticity O
the latest reports from Colonel Car
rama, are not in position to insist up
on ,tiscounting or discrediting the re
ports, and have to proceed on the as
sumption that the news of Villa
death will this time be substantiated
The conference will be resumed to
lay.

Ell Paso, Texas Jan. 21-The fate and the where
abouts of General Francisco Villa stood today mystery
in the face of conflicting reports that he had been
captured.
Following announcement by Mexican Consul Garcia
that the bandit chief being brought to uarez for ex
ecuton possibly before large crowd at the race track
there General Luis Herrera chief commander of the Car
ranzisas wired from Chihuahua City today that there
was no confirmation of the story.
Officials admitted that after ALL he may not be In the

With the fondest hopes of the de facto government
thus disspated the new revolution around Forreon was
reported making progress with human bodies swinging
from poles and bloody corpses left in the streets.
Stories as to Villa came from several sources. They
were conflicting and official confirmation Of the reported
capture was lacking. Earlier private messages from
mining sources in Chihuahua stated that Villa had been
captured alive on the promise that his life would be
spared This report said that three Carranzsa detac
ments had surrounded him and 18 followers and had cap
tured them after they had made pretense at resistance
Included in the group were said to be Colonel Carlos
Lopez and Is other participants in the execution OF 10
Americans at Santa Ysabe These sixteen were reported
to have confessed and to have paid with their lives for
those they had taken This story, however, was uncon-
hrmed
A message to the commander of the Juarez garrison
contained also report Of Villas capture but as with the
others it lacked official confirmation

Athens, JAM 21.-After two days of relentless bonn
bardment an AngloFrench squadron senced the forts
of Porto Lagos the southern Bulgarian coast not far
from Greece, and landed Wednesday on Bulgar soil.
The landing party destroyed gun emplacements there
but returned to their ships after reconnaissance showed
superior forces Of Bulgarians few miles north.
The Sofia war office today officially reported the bonn
bardment of Porto Lagos and Dedeaghatch to the east
ward by squadron of "a warshps but did not mention
the landing at Porto Lagos From the Constantinope
war office came the report that another squadron had
shelltd Turkish positions in the Gulf of Saros.
The Porto Lagos landing may be fraught with sgnifl-
cance The squadron engaging therein was probably Ad
mral Roebecs from the Dardanees and the reconna1s-
sance was possibly preliminary to landing in force
Though Salonika messages reported heavy damage to
Dedeaghach the Sofia office announced that there
were no casualties.
Ayiators directed the bombardment but Constantl-
NOBLE reported that Turkish batteries hit cruiser three
times, compelling her to withdraw in flames.
