The myetnry surrounding General Villa'

to reach Juarea at dawn, according to
report to the American oonaulat at
Juarea. Por several daya th report
has been eurrent that Villa was at th
Uuatllloa ranch west of Chihuahua City.
For four days commercial wires south of
Juarea have carried no message from
the deponed northern chieftains.
The departure front Juarea of American
Consul Edwards eo-lncldent with th flrat

to receive Villa at a point agreed upon
east of hern, possibly Sierra Blanca. Ed

th surrender specifically excluded Villa

Normal conditions prevailed today In
Juarea. The embargo in effect early In
th day against the travel of Americana
across the Rio Grande was rescinded and
subsequently American border patrols re
turned to camp. However, som appre
hension waa apparent among business
men In Juarex which was notloeably re

General Alvaro Obregon had left Nogales
and was expected to reach Juarea tonight.

WASHINGTON. Dec. .-Optlmlam waa
expressed in official circle tonight re
garding th Mexican altuatlon.
Th surrender of General Ochoa, com
manding th Villa garrtaon at Juarea,
and hla acceptance of a commission un
der th de facto government wa one of
the chief reaaens for the hopeful feeling
among official, who expressed th belief
that Ochoa' capltulu'i'.on put an end to
Franctaco Villa as an actual menace. i
villa might remain at large, they aald,
and continue troublesome, but without an
army It waa believed he could do little to
disturb border peace.
