Ell Paso, Tex, April 17.-Francisco
Villa is dead and his body, disinterred
session of the Carranza troops, &C
cording to a series of telegraphic
messages received in Juarez by the
Mexican officials.
For more than week reports that
Villa had died from wounds have been
current both here and in Juarez.
The accounts were the most circum
stantial. and apparently reliable yet
received.
They were accepted with reserve by
American officials, including General
Bell, but the Mexican officials express.
ed confidence in their reliability.
The messages, in the order in which
they were received, were as follows:
The dispatcher of the Mexican
Northwestern railroad at Juarez re-
ported to General Gabriel Gavira, Car
rama commander at Juarez, that he
had heard conversation over the
telegraph wires that Villas body was
in the hands of the Carranza troops.
General Gavira notified Consul An
dres Garcia here, who rushed mes
sages to the telegraph operator at Ma
dera and Cusihuiriachaic, asking for
confirmation.
The MADEIRA and Cusihuiriacahic OPP
orators answered, confirming the re-
port and stating the body was being
taken to Chihuahua City.
The telegraph operator at San An.
tonic, fifty miles west Of chihuahua,
itelegraphed Consul Garcia that Villas
body was in possession of Colonel
Carlos Carranza, nephew of General
Carranza. who was taking it in a spe-
cial train to Chihuahua City.
In reply to these messages tele-
grams were sent to the Carranza gen.
erals in the field and officials in Mex
leo City, Chihuahua and other points,
asking confirmation, but no answers
have yet been received.

 Tuesday evening, May l6, the boat arrived at Forester Island and anchored in the bay among many other boats.

When the party discovered that the rope was broken. power was put on and in the dark, the boat ran in to a mooring that tangled the pro peller. Every effort was made to clear it, to no avail. Help was signaled for, but some refused to give aid. Finally the captain of the Installer sent Il small power boat around On the other side df the island and se:ured the help of the J. P. Todd No. II. The latter however, arrived on the scene too late to give assistance as the boat had been driven upon the beach, Before it was driven on the beach. 1t struck a rock while drifting. veered around and landed in the only place free of big rocks. Im- mediately every fisherman in the vicinity took a hand and unloaded everything, although all the supplies was damaged, more or less-except the canned goods, by water or gasoline. The stock was taken ashore and put under tent. The engine and everything removable with the exception of the propeller was removed and saved. The hull was broken into splinters.
