MEXICAN OFFICIALS BELIEVE
 VILLA IS DECIDEDLY ALIVE
Trevino Learns Bandit Forces Sacked Town of Diaz, Cut ting Off Ears of Captives, Preceding Recent Raid.

Fl Paso, July 11.-Mexican au- thorties in Chihuahua City believe that Villa is directing, if not actually leading the bandits ir the operations in Southern Chihuahua, according to an American in close touch with An- >erican affairs, who reached the bor- der from the state capital today He said that Gen. Trevino, commanding the government troops in northern Mexico, has received official reports that before the clash at Jiminez, the Villa forces captured and sacked the town of Diaz, several miles to the north, and cut off the ears of their captives.
 Substantiating the story of the branding of prisoners, was the story of a Mexican soldier who reported to Gen. Francisco Gonzales upon his ar rival in Juarez, that, his ears had been cropped following his capture at Jiminez. The arrival said the anti American sentiment in Chihuahua City had disappeared.
 Another American who arrived from the Casas Grandes district, said the advent of the rainy season has been a great relief to the soldiers 0f the American expeditionary 2om-i uand. some of whom were beginning to sicken with the continued aust storms which had prevailed for seN- eral weeks He added that natives in that district cling firmly to the belief that Villa is dead.

The situation was complicated further by the action of Sim Lake, inventor of submarine vessels who asserted his in tention of libeling and thus holding up the Deutschland if it contained any of his patented devices. MT. Lake said that the Krupps copied his plans when he was in Germany in 1904 and 1905.
