April IS.— General Hell, reporting from El Paso to Major-General Kuns ton, nave it as his opinion, after as thorough an investigation as he could make, tliat the report of Villa's death had been manufac tured in Juarez. Consul 1 .etcher, who said he had l>eeii in com munication with C'usihiiiriachic, also has failed to verify the it port . If Francisco Villa is not dead, lie has now an excellent chance to escape into the territory far l»e --yond the most advanced of the American detachment, because the punitive force lias penetrated about as far south as it is going to with the present organization. Official admission that it was impossible to extend the main line of communication south of Satcvo was taken to mean that the lield of operations would be restricted to that district, over which de tachments of cavalry with pro visions for one or two days could ride. Beyond the arc of that fan Villa would be safe so far as the Americans are concerned. ('amp of J. J. Pershing at thr Front. April IT (By Motor and Wireless to CoIUHtbUS, N. M.) April 18. The American pursuit of Villa is at a standstill because of the unprovoked attack upon American cavalrymen by the insubordinate soldiers of tlie Car ranza garrison at Parral. A small party of American officers was fired upon near here last night, none of the Americans being injured. This, coming on the heels of other reports of sniping, is responsible for the belief that the expeditionary com mand is confronted with a serious problem. At General Pershing's headquarters iliere seemed no prospect of the re sumption of the chase. There were numerous indications that a continua lion of the pursuit would meet with armed resistance. A report received here from Car ranza sources that a Villa colonel, captured near Cusihuiriachic had promised to lead a party to a grave in which Villa was said to have been buried last Friday, is generally dis credited by military authorities here. Troops Were Kncainpcd Newspapers published in Chihuahua City reached here to-day containing reports of the attack upon the com mand of Major Frank Tompkins at Parral. According to these papers. Americans were encamped in the plaza de Sanjuan. when despite the efforts of the Carranza officials the Mexican populace attacked them with firearms, whereupon the cavalrymen fought back. The affair was described as bc [C'ontinucd on I'age 12.] APPRENTIOES STIUKI: Chambersburg, Pa..

Hess for divorce from his wife Cath arine, the records of the Dauphin county divorce courts would have con tained some mighty tough evidence of how "cruel and barbarous" a wife can be to her spouse.
