Coming to Shake Hands"
The report reveals the fact that on
September IA Villa sent a letter to
General Trevino. commander at Chi
huahua, saying he would be in the city
at p. m. Saturday to "shake hands"
General Bell expresses the opinion
full and that Villa accomplished even
more than he said he would. Trevinos
personal guard deserted him, it ap-
pears, and in the confusion many gov
ernment soldiers were killed by their
own comrades.
General Bells report follows:
Evidence increases to show that
Villa was completely successful in his
attack Saturday upon Chihuahua and
accomplished all and more than he
said he would do. There is diversity
of opinion and statements as to the
number of men with which he entered
Chihuahua. Some reports state he
him 100. but all agree that he was
able to secure possession of the peni-
tentiary, the governors palace and the
federal buildings and hold them for
several hours. and all this with a Car
rama garrison at chihuahua which
some place at not less than 5000.
They liberated over 200 prisoners, Sc
cured and carried away more than six
teen automobile loads of arms and
ammunition under an escort of desert
ing Carranza troops. He left Chi
fuahua with from 1000 to 1900 more
men than he entered with.
Retired Leisurely
villa retired leisurely and prac-
tically without molestation. The firing
by Trevino's artillery occurred after
Villa troops had withdrawn.
"On September IA Trevino received
| a letter from Villa stating that he,
Villa, would be in Chihuahua to shake
hands with Trevino on the 10th and
