Torreon, Mexico, April II, via Ell
Paso Junction, April "details of a
f1ve-hour battle between the Carranza
garrison at Pasaje, Durango, and an
attacking force composed of Contre-
ras and Ceniceros bandits were
brought here today. The outlaws fed
in disorder into the hills Of the Nazas
district after losing 70 killed, 1t Is re-
ported. The de facto troops had four
dead.
The battle took place on Sunday.
First reports were that the attacking
force was commanded by General Ca
nuto Reyes.
AS negotiations have been under
way for the surrender of General
Reyes under an amnesty grant, bit
ter disappointment was expressed by
Carranza officials. The surrender Of
Reyes was expected to seriously Grip
pie the Villa cause in the neighbor-
hood Of Torreon and Durango.
Death RumOr Only a Trick.
FL Paso, Tex, April 12.-Masking his
trail with the deluding fiction spread
broadcast by Mexican poems that he is
dead of his wounds, Francisco Villa is
thought by Mexican military officers in
Juarez to be safely hidden away in the
sheltering recesses of the Sierra Madre
mountains while the American cav
airy are pursuing a rear guard band
of Villa bandits, whose strategy is to
beguile Villas pursuers away from the
hiding place of their chief.
Mexican followers of. Villa IN other
campaigns say it was favorite trick
of Villa when the chase became hot for
the bandit to have the story spread
that he was dead, that the ardor of his
pursuers might be dampened.
Pershing Has New Base.
Brigadier General Pershing has es-
| tablished a new base at Satevo, &C
cording to information here but nc
word has come from the flying columns
of American cavalry under command

pursuit of the Villa forces is said to
extend beyond Parral.
There is nothing official to confirm
report that American troops killed q
number of Villa bandits last Saturday
south of Satevo.

are being steadily forwarded by the
quartermaster' department to Casas

Villas Death Disputed.
An entirely new version of the story
of Villas death was brought here to-
day by a Mexican cattle man, whC
claimed to have suffered a visitation
from a band of Villistas on his ranch
near Bachiniba. This man said Villa
was neither dead nor wounded bu
that Pablo Lopez, the bandits motor
ious lieutenant and executioner IL
chief, had died and that Villa had de
liberately used his death as the bash
of the story of his own finish.

In Chihuahua.
Washington, April 25.-Further de-
velopments in the pursuit of Villa and
the relations between the United
States and the de facto government
Of Mexico now await personal discus
sion of these subjects by the senior
military advisers of the two govern
ments. A conference between Maj.
Gen. Hugh L. Scott, chief of staff. and
Gen. Obregon, minister of war of the
de facto government, was arranged,
to take place probably in Juarez. Gen.
Scott is in San Antonio, Tex, and Gen.
Obregon is believed to be already on
his way north from Mexico City.
Mr.. Arredondo called at the State
Department to say that his govern
ment asked that some reply be made
to the note of April 18th, suggesting
that American troops be withdrawn
from Mexico.
The ambassador was informed that
no reply could be made to Gen. Car
ranza's note at present. Secretary
Lansing is understood to have made
it plain that the Washington govern
ment was anxious that Gen. Scott be
given a chance to talk the situation
over with Gen. Obregon before for
NAL answer was prepared. On his re-
turn to the embassy Mr.. Arredondo
found message announcing that
Gen. Obregan would go to the border.
