Mexico City.-The Mexican govern
ment will insist with infexible deter
animation that any armed expedition of
the United States which enters Mexi-
can territory must be limited to 1000
men of one service alone, cavalry, &C
cording to a statement made by Juan
Neftali Amador, subsecretary of for
eign relations.
The Mexican government has con-
tended in all of its notes to the Wash
ington state department, that the send
Ang of heavy artillery and slow-march-
Ang infantry on a punitive expedition
as illogical, and the work of the pres
ont so-called punitive expedition has
more than demonstrated this, for they
have accomplished absolutely nothing.
Mexico has, in all of its communica-
lions to Washington insisted that all
punitive expeditions must be limited
to certain restricted areas. The re-
quest of the United States that the
present expedition be considered eX-
ceptional cannot be agreed to by the
Mexican government for the very
good reason that each day of it's pres
ence so far inland excites our people.
This is being taken advantage Of by
enemies of the Constitutionalist gov
ernment, who are endeavoring to stage
incidents that will cause grave inter
national complications.

NEW POWER. TO RUN AUTOS
TWO OUNCES OF GREEN FLUID
IN WATER.
German Chemist Says invention Will
Produce Motor Fuel at One and
Half Cents a Gallon.

New York.-Coroner William B..
Gibson of Huntington, l.. l., told
"a reporter that he and Leroy
Ackerly, Northport lawyer, saw
Louis Enricht, a German chemist of
Farmingdale, run an automobile on
no fuel except two quarts of water
and about two ounces of a greenish
liquid-Enricht's own invention.
"Enricht got out his two-passenger
runabout," the coroner said. There
was five gallon gasoline tank back
of the dashboard Attached to the
cap of the tank was an electrode con-
nected with a two-cell dry battery.
There was no other electrical equip
ment and the tank was empty.
"Enricht poured the water and the
liquid into the tank, screwed on the
cap and cranked the car. He gave a
three-mile demonstration ride to rep
resentative of a big corporation and
then took Ackerly on like trip"
Enricht declares that by his discov-
cry he can produce automobile fuel
for approximately one and half cents
gallon. He says his invention utilizes
the extraction of hydrogen from water.

MORE HELD IN SHIP PLOT
q OTHERS ARRESTED CHARGED
WITH CONSPIRACY.
Nine Persons Now Involved In Scheme
to Wipe Out Allied
Shipping.

New York. - Four more arrests
were made in connection with
the alleged conspiracy to destroy ships
carrying war munitions to the entente
allies by placing fire bombs" in their
cargoes. Warrants, It was announced,
are out for one other, thus involving
in all nine persons.
The workshop in which were made
the bomb containers for the ingredi-
ents of liquid fire designed to destroy
the ships was located in the North
German Lloyd steamship Friederich
der Crosse.
That was the emphatic charge OF
both the local police and the depart
ment of justice, who joined forces to
prosecute the investigation after the
arrest of the three other men involved
in the conspiracy.
Ship Background of Plot.
While the bombs were carried to
American soil to be filled with sui
phuric acid and chlorate of potash,
nevertheless, according to the author
tiles, the ship was the background Of
a part of the alleged plotting against
the allies merchantmen.
The arrest closely followed the ar
raignment before United States Com
missioner Houghton of the four men
taken in custody. The four additional
prisoners are Charles Karbade, Carl
Schmidt, chief engineer of the steamer
Frederick der Crosse, and Frederick
Praedle and Carl Paradis, assistants to
Schmidt.

Note TO carranzs Will Go Forward
Just the Same-De Faeto Govern

Safety of Border.

Mexico City.-Francisco Villas body
has been dug out of two weeks old
grave by Col Carlos Carranza, nephew
of Gen. Carran2a, the first chief of the
constitutionalists, and is now being
brought by him and an escort of sol
diers to the City of Chihuahua.
According to the dispatches thus far
received, Villas death was due to the
amputation of one of his legs, made
necessary by wounds received by him
in the fighting around the Guerrero
district, in the State of Chihuahua
After being desperately wounded, he
was carried by his followers to the
town of Temosachic, where the opera
tion of amputation was performed by
village doctor.
As soon as the bandit chief could
be moved he was carried south to the
town of Cusihuirachic, 80 miles dis
tant Here, according to the story,
he fingered for a few days, suffering
greatly before death ended his career.
hington.-American troops will
be withdrawn from Mexico immedi-
ately IL Francisco Villa is dead. Ad-
ministration officials made this un-
qualified statement commenting on re-
ports from Mexican sources that the
bandits body had been discovered and
was being taken from Cusihuirachic to
Chihuahua City by special train.
Officials would not discuss what
To
establish the fact that the body men,
toned in these reports is that of Villa.
1t is certain, however, that every effort
will be made to obtain so complete
an Identification as to make sure be-
yond reasonable doubt that the man
who waged war with few hundred
bandits against the United States and
the de facto government of Mexico
simultaneously, has paid the penalty.
Preparation of the reply to Gen.
Carranzas note suggesting the recall
of the American forces, will go for
ward without regard to the reports
as to the death of the bandit.
Until official confirmation is re-
ceived no change will be made in pres
ent plans. The reply already has been
outlined, it is understood, setting
forth clearly the attitude of the Wash
ington government and its reasons for
believing that it acted under definite
and fully ratified agreement when it
ordered the expedition across the bor
der.
The reply will contain also state
ment of the things the administration
holds it will be necessary to establish
before a retirement toward the bor-
der can be started.
The vital element of any understand
ing reached would be the ability of the
de facto government to insure pro-
lection of American border towns in
future, and the complete elimination
of Villa and his bandits from the sit
uation.
