Washington, jsept. 19.--The first di rect word from Francisco Villa since 'he 'was driven from Juarez by United States troops reached washington to day in a letter writte~n on September 6, from Villa's headquarters in north ern Durango. The .letter has been placed at the disposal of officials of the State Department. In the letter Villa said he had large quantities of ammunition and twice as many men undler arms as at any time since 1915. The ammunition has been accumulated from caches irn the State of D~urango, the letter addedl, several wagbn loads fr~om Juarez, two car loads from Parral and Lerdo, a town which he captured recently. Villa also says he' has plenty of money, having captured more than 1,000,000 pesos in gold and silver gov ernment coin andl bullion from a train between Chihuahua and Durango re cently. Abundaat Resources. Eight hundiredl deserters from the Carranzista forces recently have joined his forces, Cilla wrote, bring ing all their equipmenit and horses and added that he just sent Gen. Angeles Felipe fifty miles south to meet Gen. Banuelos, the lending rev olutionary chieftain of the State of Zacatecas, who was marching north with 2,000 mounted men well equipped and with abundance of ammunition andI gold and iver bullion. Since leaving Juarez, Villa said delegations from Gen.-Gutierrez, who controls the State of Coahuila and from Nuevo -Jeon and Tamalavippa, had' formally agreed to reeognize him as general in chief of the revolution. He also said a committee of government, who will be intrusted with .the civil adminis tration of all territory uecupied by the r'evolutionarf forces, will soon, .be named.. "Most Arrant Coward."

But, he added, when General Gonzales saw that he had lost the city he sent an urgent appeal to the American com mander begging him to intervene. Fearing his appeal would not be heed ed, Villa said, Gonzales ordleredl his men dleliberately to fire into El Pa so to bring about intervention of American troops. Why He Retired. Villa said he did not fear a con flict with the American troops at Juarez but retired because he knew this section didl not rep~resent tho real sentiment of the people of the United States. In view of the refusal of the United States, he said, to permit Car rnaza to send troops through Texas to attack him at Juarez, he had stead fastly continued his policy of protect ing all Americans and other foreign ers within his lines.. He protested, vigorously in this let ter against being called a bandit and of dlescribing every actual bandit in Mexico as a subordlinate of his.
