state Department Only Has Re-
ports Of villas Capture.

WASH SGToN. Jan. 20.-Confirmation
was lacking at the State Department, to-
night Of reports from FL Paso that Gen.
Francisco Villa had been captured by
carranza soldiers in northern Mexico
and taken to Chihuahua city for execu-
tion.
Officials of the Department manifested
great interest in the press reports. how
ever, stating that the capture Of villa
would not only give the strongest kind
OF evidence of Carranzas good faith in
seeking out those responsible for the
massacre Of the Americans at Santa
lsabe., but would probably mean a coll
lapse Of the guerrilla warfare now being
waged against the Carranza Government
in northern Mexico.
The last official reports showed villa
was in the territory named and this
led the Washington officials to manifest
additional interest in to-night's reports
Accordingly on the suggestion of the
State Departs the Department Of
Justice is working on vague evidence of
a new revolutionary movement against
Carranza to be headed by Gen Felix
Diaz. nephew of the late Porfirio Diaz,
the former President of Mexico. All.
though the state Department admitted
knowledse OF the rumors IL was not
inclined to take them seriously. II
his headquarters in Havana, Cuba, is
now IN New York. His name has been
connected, they said, with various plots
none of which has ever materialized
although officials have kept watch on
him. \ year ago he made an unsuc-
cessful EFFORT to get hearing at the
White House and state Department. lie
was associated for a time with Huerta
In the uprising against former Presi.
dent Francisco Madero
Although reports of the plot state that
1t is backed by the Catholic party in
Mexico and embraces in part a scheme
to send armed forces into southern
Mexico by way of Guatemala officials OF
the state Department denied tonight
that any representations on the subject
had been made to Guatemala by the
Government
1T seems inci edible to believe that
any serious movement is actually OH
foot" said one official. "inasmuch as
the men on whom Diaz has been ac.
customsd to rely principally are not in

Guet is IN Canada and Gen. M1ndregon

The police believe that the two men

Police Headquarters on the night Of last
July 5.
According to Detective Santello who
has been detailed to watch the men for
the past three months. Grasiano has at
tended several meetings Of the Bresci
group on i0sth street, which is suspected
OF having been implicated in the Cathe-
dral bomb plot. Grasiano has also been
seen frequently lettering about the meet
ing plac" OF a group OF anarchists on
Forty second street. although he ap-
parently did not attend any OF the meet
ings.
The Municipal Building mas been
threa tened several times. The police
say that anarchists consider II an ideal
place for their operations Owing 10
the many arcades there are many places
for the secret!ng of a bomb. These
same arcades have given rise to the fear
that sufficiently strong explosive might
blow up the entire underpinning OF the
building and cause the skyscraper to
collapse.
Capt. Tunney was not able to get into
communication with Inspector Owen
Egan OF the Bureau OF Combustibles.
For that reas Il was decided to keep
the bomb up at Headquarters until this
morning, when II will be examined.
