El Paso, Text.. A reward of pesos for the death or capture of Francisco Villa lias been offered by the government of the state of Chihuahua. This announcement was made here Sunday by Provisional Governor Tomas Gameros, who added thnt 2000 100,-00- 0 troops had Just left Chiuahua City under orders to hunt down the bandit chieftain. An unconfirmed report that General Francisco Villa had ordered American and other foreign owned mining companies In Chiuahun to pay him $500,-00- 0 and that he had cut the power line between Boqulllas and Iarral, caused considerable concern in Mexican revolutionary circles here. The report, if confirmed, it was said, would indicate Villa had taken up the cudgels against the new dc facto government. Previously It was officially reported Villa and General P. Ellas alles had failed to agree on terms looking toward the bandit's elimination from Mexican affairs. A military campaign against Villa is an immediate prospect, it was said by revolutionary agents. Villa, they said, can be captured because of his present inability to recruit a large force, or If successful in recruiting, to equip and supply troops.

He added that the award to be made would be retroactive to April 1, the date of the expiration of the old agreement between the operators and miners. The president said he would hold himself in readiness to appoint a commission similarly constituted to the one which I recently appointed in connection with the bituminous mining industry, as soon as I learn that both sides have signified their willingness to continue at work and abide by its recognized.
