Will Sign Agreement.

Ville today gavu Brigadier General,
Scott lils word tba' he would prevent
further border fighting, which since
the Madero revolution in 1911, has
been a menace to residents of Ameri
can border towns.
The Mexican leader promised he
would order Governor Msytorena to
sign an agreement which had been
drafted by General Scott at Naco. It
would prevent a recurrence of the
fighting there, which during the last
two months hss caused the wounding
and killing of more than 50 persons
on the American side. General HUI,
commander of the Carran sa garrison
defending Naco. Sonora, already has
signed the agreement
The 8,000 Vilm troops passing
through Juarez on their way to So
nora, will "be sent Villa said, to Guay
mas, on the California gulf, and not
to participate tn fighting along the
border.
The agreement also provides thst
Naco shall remain neutral territory
and closed to commerce until some
constitutional government ls estab
lished in Mexico ?nd reedited A hg
the United States and "until -one 'ttf-th*
conteadlng factions In Sonora entire
ly dominates the other. Nogales, held
by Msytorena, ana Agua Prieta; held'
by Hill, shall not be attacked tor shy
reason whatsoever.
Maytorena's troops shall retire to
Can anea or Nogales, and ?hall not
molest the movement of th* Hill
forces from Naco to Agua Prieta.
' This last clause is opposed by the
Msytorena faction. Naco Is between
Nogales and Agua Prieta.
General Villa is expected to return

paign against Carraza forces In tho
cast General Scott will return to
Washington, perhaps ofter a brief
visit to Naco.
A Villa force will be detached to
hold General Hill's force at Agaa
Prieta, but it ls understood not to at
tack him.
General villa announced tonight he
would welcome the return to Mexico
of all former regular army officers,
many of whom were reported In a des
