FL Paso, Tex May IA new factor
is believed to have been injected into
the conference of American troop dis
positions by the receipt of fresh re-
ports that Francisco villa is dead.
Mexican Consul Garcia said Col
Carlos Carranza had telegraphed him
from Cusihuiriachic that he had been
unable to find Villas body but that
he had established beyond dispute
that the bandit leader was dead and
he hoped to recover the body in few
days,
Two conflicting propositions devel-
oped Immediately after the beginning
in the Mexican customs house in
Juarez Saturday of the conference.
They are understood temporarily to
have increased the gravity of the ne
gotiations. The conference lasted two
hours. The initial meeting was be
hind closed doors in the room Fran
cisco Villa used as his council cham
ber when he dominated northern Mex
leo. The second conference will be
held today in El Paso.
Generals Hugh l.. Scott and Fred
erick Funston represented the United
States. The Mexican conferees were
Gen Alvaro Obregon, Mexican minis
ter of war, and Gen. Jacinto Trevino,
military commander of the northeast
district of Mexico. The progress OF
the negotiations was not divulged, but
from an authoritative source two
things were learned:
First, the Mexican representatives
reiterated the wish expressed In Gen.
Carranza's recent note to the Wash
ington government that the American
troops should be withdrawn from
Mexican soil at an early date.
Second, they were informed by the
American officials that the latter were
not empowered to discuss the with
drawal of Gen Pershing's columns.
1t is understood the American rep
resentatlves told the Mexican con.
ferees that II the de facto government
insisted on an American evacuation
the conference would go into n dead
lock and the whole matter wouM re-
vert to diplomatic discussion between
Washington and Mexico City.
The MeXicans further were In.
formed that the purpose OF the present
conference, so far as the United
States is concerned. Is the develop
ment of a specific plan for the coop
Grafton OF the American and de facto
armies, in wlplng out the bandit
groups that have spilled so much
blood along the border and have re-
peatedly taken American life In the
interior of Mexico
1t is understood Gen. obregon prior
to the conference openly expressed n
disinclination to discuss any other
subject than withdrawal. and that he
carried this attitude into the initial
meeting.
Afer the primary issues had been
broached, however, he is reported to
have carried out the intention he an.
nounced shortly after his arrival on
Friday OF meeting Generals Scott and
Funston half way" in the negotia.
