EEL rASO. TEN, April 9s.-with tbs
ObreEon- ott-Funston conference to-
morrow over the disposition OF United
States troops in Mexico. the feeling
grew in FL Paso tonight that tenta-
tive American occupation OF part OF
chihuahua. pending eradication Of villa
bands by the de facto government con-
ccrncd. would result from the negotia-
,ions. Tie American representatives
who came to FL Paso this evening
were noncommunicative. and opinion
regarding the outcome OF the delibera-
tions was based OH the attitude OF Car
rama officials.
From an authoritative source it was
learned that the Mexican Minister of
War is willing to meet General Fun
ston and Scott halfway" in the COM
ing negotiations. This is taken to
mean that General ObreGun would con-
sent to American troops remaining in
Mexico. providing the actual chase OF
Villas forces was rclinquishad entirely
to the Carranza troops, and that on
receipt of assurances from the de facto
government that the bandit groups had
been wiped out the Americans should
retire Immediately
WOULD ENDANGt;R RELATIONS
BETWE:EN GOVERNMENTS
The opinion was general that, il the
United States .conferces insisted upon
a continuance of the troop movements
recently ordered by General Funston
and now being carried into effect. the
Minister of War could not we'll refuse
TO grant the proposal. as to do so would
be 10 cndanScr the relations between
the American and Mexican govern
ments.
IL was rumorcd that General ObreEon
had been given fun power TO reach
decision in behalf of his government,
but this could not he verified.
Reports from the American eXpcdi-
tion's front in Mexico this afternoon
were that large forces of Carranza
troops were being moved into the Guer-
zero district. Information from CO.
lumbus said large force OF United
States infantry has been moved south
along the American line of communl-
cation. and that an important detach-
mrnt Of cavalry had been moved west
ward TO Gibsons ranch. in order that
II might cross into Mexico tomorrow.
Neither the Mexican nor American
military authorities would discuss
these troop movements. except to say
they represented the ordinary precau-
tiohary steps of forces under arms.
The entrance of additional Carranza
forces into the Guerrero district was
explained in part as being designed to
prevent any combination OF Villa troops
and other factions against American
forces.

Trippel is regarded as having the best chance.
 How much influence the governor will exert in the choice of a register is not known. Some question his ability to swing the appointment, since the well known broken promise that Weedin was te be superintendent or the penitentiary, made by MT. Hunt a fortnight prior to his first election.
 There will probably be temporary appointment of Clerk Cunningham, of the land office, so that the affairs of the office may proceed. This ap- pointment will be made by Commis- sioner Clay M. Tallman of the gen eral land office A recess appoint ment of register for term of four years, will probably be made by the secretary of the interior and Presi- ' It is said that pressure has been exerted to force an immediate ap- nointment of some good man who can do something for the democratic party.
