 Government agents here said to- night they had information that Villa was preparing to establish his gov ernment at some city in northern Mexico soon. A number of Villa s former advisers were expected to ar rive at the border soon to join Villa. A close watch is being kept for these Villa partisans who are supposed to be on their way here from Los An Seles, San Antonio and New York. it was added
 Chinese and Arabs were reported to be coming to the border from Chi 'huabua City on every train' for fear Villa would re-take the capital and kill all subjects of these nations. One Chinese refugee said he had been advised by the German consul. who was in charge of the affairs of the Chinese government, to leave for the border at once.
 Troops are being sent south from Juarez to Chihuahua City as rapid ly as coal can be obtained for the troop trains. This has led to the rumor that General Murguia has asked for endorsements to send into the coal field against Villa.
 Proof that the Villa bands operat- ing near this part of the border have been smuggling recruits from the American side is contained in letter received by Villa partisan in Fl Paso from Rodrigo QGevedo. who with his brother. Silvestre Quevedo, has been ranging the hills near Villa Ahumada, some eighty miles south of JuarcZ The letter also gives sub stance tc the report current here that another attack on Chihuahua City is pending and that the Quevedo, Ochoa and Tamez bands in this end of the state aim to cut off the retreat of General Muraiua's forces to the north. Tte letter. dated December 29 and written at the Rancho Flores, says in translation:
 After a number of scares. we sue ceeded Tn passing all the comrades we met here to General Ochoa-fifty men. besides tte twenty eight that we ourselves got across.
 "Ochoa received a message ordering him not to let any train pass as soon as the attack on Chihuahua begins We shall shortly attack that place. beg you to be on the lookoul,N pending the arrival of the messenger that have been expecting
 Miranda sends his regards, as does Ochoa and the rest of the comrades.

PRESIDENT AND CABINET
 DISCUSSED HIGH PRICES
Situation is Engaging the Attention of Every Governmental Agency.

Washington, Feb. 23.-The soaring price of foodstuffs throughout the country today engaged the attention of virtually every governmental agen- cy with even a remote relation to the problem.

Views held by some of the conferees were that the record prices were in tertwined with the general car short age and Congestion on transportation lines and indirectly affected by the German submarine warfare which has resulted in vast accumulations of freight and resultant car congestion at eastern seaports-
 Department of justice agents re- stunned with new energy their investi- gation of prices to determine if there is an actual shortage of foodstuffs at large cities where rioting has recently occurred.
 Encouragement Gregory announced that measures which may be of "con- siderable avair' toward bettering that situation probably would be announced shortly.
