An Associated Press dispatch from EI Paso, Texas, dated the 14th and appearing in yesterday mornings papers says in part: Americans, Germans and Spaniards who today arrived from Chihuahua, Mexico, report that Francisco Villa, the rebel leader, virtually has con stituted himself dictator there and that he refused to listen to the representataives of foreign Govern ments. The refugees asserted that the rebel leader had seized $5,000,000 worth of property belonging to foreigners' had put to death about 20 Mexican civilians including Sergec Sanchez, a lawyer and former State official and had commanded the American.

He called a meeting of merchants of all nationalities and told them they must pay him large sums of money, aggregating several million dollars, to support the revolution. He gave orders that the so-called Con stitutionalist money should be ac cepted as currency. Villa's expulsion of citizens of Spain was on pain of death. He at first irformed them they must be out of the country within five days but later, after an appeal by Harry Pcobell, the British Vice Consul, he extended the time to 10 days. None of iiie Spaniards was allowed to take anything except personal effects and nil were told never to return. The capture and imprisonment of Luis Terrazas.

Marion Ietcher, United States Con sul, was asked by the foreigners to rot pet them, Mr. Letcher attempted to send a cipher message to the State Department but was Informed by Villa that no cipher messages would be permitted on the rebel tele graph. Villa then informed the foreign Consuls In a body that they would have to obey rebel orders. Otto Kueek, the German Consul, protested to Villa against the exac ffon of tribute from Germans. Villa threatened Kieck, saying the latter would be escorted to the Dorder If he reisisted In his protest. A store in which Kueck was Interested was required to pay $30,000. All homes and propefty of the expelled Span iards were appropriated to the per sonal use of the rebels. The expulsion of Spanish nuns ,'i.ic. rriests was complete except tnat the bishop, a Spaniard, was allowed to remain. "Villa's attitude toward tbe Con suls was hostile," a German cloth ing merchant said. "The German colony went to Mr. Kueck, for rro lcction. Mr. Kueck went to Villa with a protest. Villa said I cannot shoot you, but I can escort you to the lorder Kueck replied he would remain in Chichuahua as long as there was a German citizen there.
