Republican A. P. Leased Wirel

FL PASO, Nov. 2S.-General Edu- ardo Chavez's body was brought toI Juarez tonight from Fl Mocho where he was killed Monday morning in an attack on his special train by Villas column. A military funeral is being arranged for in Juarez tomorrow.
 Late reports tonight from Juarez stated that the railroad line was cut below Laguna and train service from Chihuahua City had been suspended, trains being operated only from La guna north.
 Francisco Villas followers were re- ported to have dynamited a Mexican federal pay train, killing the paymaster general; attacked and defeated a train load of federals from Juarez, cut the railroad and federal telegraph lines and captured many horses, rifles and other elements Monday, according to reliable and confirmed information which was received here late today from Mexico.
 The attack on the pay train was said 10 have occurred at Fl Mocho station. Go miles north of Chihuahua City where q large dynamite mine was placed un- der a rail, destroying the engine and tender and wrecking the pay train. General Eduardo Chavez, who was on the train enroute from Chihuahua City to Sonora, ran to the door to discover the cause of the explosion and wreck when he was struck four times, one bullet penetrating his forehead and three puncturing his body, according to the reports
 Of his troop escort of seventy men, thirty escaped including six wounded who were brought to Juarez late last night and given treatment at the mili- tary hospital. On this train was said Co have been $50O00 in Mexican cur rency and S10,O0O gold which was to have been paid to the garrison troops along the road fnese sums were seized by the Villa troops
 After seizing the railroad station at Mocho, Villa was said to have placed an experienced railroad train dispatch CT in the telegraph office and had him report the line open at that point This resulted in the train approaching the station without warning. This is an old trick of Villas.
 The same day another band of Villa followers was reported to have engaged a troop train from JuareZ carrying 800 troops formerly stationed at Ojinaga. This attack was reported to have oc- cured at Gallego, ITO miles south of "uiitAs Alter d IlSnl or i've hours the federals were forced to retire toward Moctezuma although they succeeded in driving off the Villa attackers with heavy losses on both sides. They were forsed to abandon their trains and cav airy horses numbering 25O, accordin,- to these reports. A captain named Mar tin Ruiz was reported killed in this fight They telegraphed to Juarez yes terday for endorsements and train was sent from Juarez.
 Villa apparently lodged General Her nandez and his federal cavalry column by leaving the main road from Ojinaga to Chihuahua City and striking due west from Coyame to Fl Mocho sta tion where he attacked the pay train As El Mocho is but GO miles from Chi huahua City. the presence of a Villa Column that near the state capital caused fear here tonight that an attack might be made upon that city soon.
 However, Mexican federal officials hare are assured that the federals have sufficient force in Chihuahua City to repel any attack and they said witt Hernandez in close pursuit of Villa. the chances of capturing the leader of tho band and the annihilation of his fol lowers are good. Villa was said tC have captured three eighteen milime. Ter cannon fror N the federals recently
