Francisco Villa, htad of. the rebel mili
tary forces. Informed George C. Carothi
ers, special agent ot the Elate depart
ment, that lie will decline to be dragged
Into a war with the United States by
anybody. '
"Why," he smiled, as he throw an arm
about the broad shoulders of the govern
ment representative, "all Europe would
laugh at us If we went 10 war with you.
They would say that the little drunkard
Huerta. has drawn them Into a tangle
at last ' "
Villa said that he was not consulted In
the drafting of the Carransa, note trans
mitted to Secretary Bryan last night, and
which was regarded as somewhat hostile
In tone.
Wrtnia In Shorr Friendship.
The rebel leader told Carothers, who
repeated the Interview to the State de
partment tonight, that one of the chief
reason that he jeame to Juarex was to
show the American people that his atti
tude waa friendly and that he did ot
fear to trust hlmcelf on the border with
out a military foree behind him.
Carothers took supper with Villa and
canvassed the situation thoroughly while

salad, beef and potato, with trimmings,
"Honest," said the osbel general be

The general Brought with him 100 woven

left Fort Bliss to become assistant chief
ot staff at 'Washington. Cat-others prom
ised to forward It along' with' Vtlla'a con
gratulations on the recipient of the pro
motion. Villa said he had arranged? with all for
eigners except? Spaniards to ship out their
cotton from Ttorreon, Upon paying a,war
tax to which the foreigners had agreed.
He said that Spanish cotton was not In
cluded In the ' arrangement, having been
confiscated There are -75,000 bales there,
valued at 8j0,000.

the note of his chief to Secretary Bryan
was not hostile, but waa Intended as a
basis for further negotiations. He .was

"I fthlnk hl statement waa fair and

Carransta at least did desire war.
"Not at, all," Fesquelra replied. "It
couldn't mean that, because I know that
my chief wants peace."
Translation Is Correct,
For a tlma It was thought that the,
translation might be at fault and that
Carransa,' Bpanish really meant "but to
this very day we desire to avoid, but a
careful examination ot tho original
showed that the translation was correct.
It waa made by Samuel Uetden, Pesquelra
and Carojher In consultation. They care
fully weighed the meaning of every word
and phrase.
Peaquelra said, as giving evidence ot
the peaceful Intentions ot the 'rebel gov

"To all or these, offers wo have re

Villa, n. Disappointment.
General Villa waa a disappointment to
day. He wss supposed to be bringing a
personal escort of 900 men, but to avoid
provocative appearances the general left
moat of them behind at Chihuahua, and
appeared with only twenty-five or thirty
of his followers. He remarked;
"What does tho United States want to
pay any attention to that drunken ,old ass.
Huorta, for anyway?"

Hf forts' to find 'out Just what conditions
were affecting the shipment of arms and
ammunition across tho river resulted In
bewilderment Finally It appeared that
although there was no embargo on, still
the stuff could not be sent across. This
morning Colonel Hatfield received an or
der from General Tasker II. Bliss at San
Antonio not to alio munitions of war
to cross the bridge. The colonel postod
a guard at the Santa Fe street bridge.
This afternoon General Bliss Is said to
have rescinded the order, or at least to
have Instructed Colonel Hatfield that
there was no official embargo. The sol
diers understand, however, that nothing
of mHltary use shall cross until the pres
ent complications aro removed. They

port, said thje embargo was still lifted

In Juarez the saloons and gambling
halls aro closed and few persona were
n the streets.
It had been reported that 400 soldiers
had arrived from the south to reinforce
the garrison, but this proved unfounded,
the story being the work of a belligerent
major In ono of tho tfuartels. A few
troopers, unarmed, lounged In' the scant
shade ot the plsza, but that was all.
The big doors of the cuartels stood open
and a glance showed them to contain few
soldiers.
Early In the day El Paso was excited
by reports that four troop trains and a
train of ammunition and horses was on
its way from Chihuahua to Juares under
General Toborlo Ortego. It had much to
do with the transfer ot more soldiers
from Fort Bliss to this city, but the
truth of the story .was generally denied
n a way that carried conviction
ainkes unnrded Ilepllea.
General Villa received reporters to
night and made guarded replies to a
number of questions.
Asked If foreigners would be protected
should the rebels be brought Into a War
against the United States, he replied:
"Our forces, In an event -which I "hone
will not come about, would take the op
portunity of proving to the world that
we are civilised people and capable of
following all rules ot civilised warfare.
would 'give perfect guarantees to all.
neutral foreigners and am willing tq
vouch for this personally,"
When ashed whether ha would Join
forces with General Huerta In war
against the United States he said:
WIU Obey Orders.
As I have already stated, such an
event Is Improbable, but to answer your
question I must state that I am a soldier
ana reaay to roiiow all order-, of my
chief, General Carranxa."
General Villa when asked lo express
an opinion on General Carranta's note to
President Wilson replied:
"It was .written with the brain of a

He .would not make any statement as

For eight, long yesra the spitnr has been
my stock ' trade. With Its aid X have won
mora games in one season than any pitcher
of modern times. It helped me to do my
share in one American League Championship,
one World's Championship and In, two series
of games for the Championship of ChSciri.
Having thoroughly msstered control of this
style of twirling, I have, for many ycarf,
been able to go in and finish (and sometimes
save) games for my team with little or no
time devoted to "warming up," and I count
this one of the very valuable features of th
spit ball. The chance from a fast ball, a
curve or a cross fire (left-handed), is so radi
cal that It is an easy matter to baffle ths
most dangerous opponents if one has con
trol. That last word Is the secret of my suc
cess, excepting, of course, my knowledge of
how to pitch, Knowing now does not avail
much In our league unless one can go out
to the slab and deliver. That la what tba
- manager wants and -what the people come to
eee, therefore, when I joined the White Sox
I spent the better part of two seasons learn
ing wnat x snouia nave oeen taugm earner,
namely, control of the belt, how to take a
throw at first base, how to back up at tha
plate and at third, how to field bunts, and
again, how to pitch what Billy Sullivan called
for and when, which means that I finally
learned control.
College professors and other scientists have
tried to determine why a spit ball takes Itt
Eecullsr curve. I do not know, but I -do know
ow to make it break and that Is the Im
portant thing. Ths motet ball can be. thrown
several ways, but the beet, the most easily
learned and therefore the easiest to control is
that shown in the Illustration,
