VILLA STEADILY
MOVING SOUTH TO
GENERAL BERTANI SAYS BANDIT
WAS SEEN 60 MILES NORTH-
WEST PARRAL SATURDAY.
Bj Associated pre**.
KL PASO, Tex.. April 10.—Confirmation
of reports (hat Froneisro Villa »a» In
the neighborhood of Parral, or had passed
there, was brought to Juarez today by
General Frspoiti-o Bertaui, the Carranza
commander at Madera
General Bertani, who came to Juarex for
a conference with his superior, General
Gavira. said that before he left Madera
Saturday autbeutlc reports were received
that Villa had been seen at Camargo. this
town is about sixty miles northeast ol
I'trral. .
Proceeding at his previous speed, the
bandit easily would have made Tarral.
Bertani had no report ou how close behind
him the American troops were.
The last fight between Carranza and
Villa forces occurred at San Francisco
de Uorja four days ago, the general said,
the Villa forces being defeated and leav
ing behind them a number of dead and
wounded. . ...
General Bertani said he had absolute
confirmation that Villa had been wounded.
The bandit was (hot iu the leg, be said,
and was further injured when his horse
fell on him, breaking the bones of the
leg.
He reported detachments of the Ameri-
can forces at Santa Auua and Nauibjulpa.
Both XJeneral Gavira and General Her-
taui asserted today they had no knowl-
edge that a limit had been placed on the
operations of the American troops in
Mexico.
"I understand, however," General Her-
tani added, "that the American forces will
be willing to withdraw as soon as the
Villa organizations are thoroughly broken
up.
"80 far the relations of the de facto
troops and the American soldiers have been
friendly and co-operative. There lias not
been a single unpleasant incident."
General Gnvlra. the Juarez commander,
denied that he was to be superseded bv
General Hernandez.
NO INFORMATION SALAZAR •
I.ocal authorities had no additional In-
formation regarding the progress of a
revolution reported to have been lnaugu
rated by General Jose Ynei Salaxar.
Salazar recently has been living at Las
Crucee N. M.. from which point lie ha*
made repeated night trips by motor to
El Paso and vicinity. Officials here be-
lieve be may attempt to foment disturb
ancea.among the Carranxa troops now re-
Rorted gathering In Increasing numbers in
ortkern Chihuahua. It la pointed but
that If the reported co operation of the
Carranxa troops aud American forces Is
to be believed, the new revolution will
have hard sledding.
Consul Andreas Garcia, representing the
Carranxa government in El Paso, today
authorised the following statement:
"Having had attributed to me in cer-
tain newspapers statements dealing with
international affairs dependlug on this
frostier which I did not make, I consider
It necessary to declare that In the future
I ahall give out to correspondents onlv
ln writing the statements and pieces of
news they seek for publication."
GARCIA DENIES LIMIT ON PI BSUIT.
A statement to Consul Garcia that Villa
has now escaped any possibility of capture
by the Americans, having crossed a
deadline established by President Wilson
and General Carranxa beyond which it was
agreed that the American troops would
nqf' continue tbetr iwrsnit of the bandit,
was flatly denied today by Mr. Garcia,
the consul said, as far ax he knew. 110 limit
of the American pnrsnlt had been agreed
upon by the two governments.
Mexican officials here will not discuss a
report that the de facto government soon
will Inform the American Government that
It la 1# a position to relieve the Amerl
cho troops of the task of chasing Villa.
Mr. Garcia said he had no information on
matters of a diplomatic character.
With Villa moving Into Inirango. the
supply problem of the army continues to
the fore. Heavy shipments to private
contractors in Chihuahua City probably
will be made from El Paso in a few days.
The tender of the use of the telegraph
and telephone line* by the de facto gov-
ernment to General Pershing will be of Im-
mense aid In ordering and shipping sup-
plies.

More Troops Being Sent
to Guard Pershing Line
(oilinimt From r«|c On*.
preparation of the protocol lay in the efforts of C®rranza to incorporate Prn
visions limiting the scop„- of operations of the American forces and the length
of thf.ir stay. So far, however, Carranza hag not come forward with a definite
inquiry on'the subject. It was reported this afternoon that Copsul General
John H. Rodgers had conveyed to the Department an inquiry from C«rratiza
»s to the probable length of the stay of the American forces in Mexico. Sec-
retary Lansing and oilier Department officials, however, tonight denied tnat
anything of the sort had been received.
The ceiieraI military situation was outlined today by an army authorttv
as follows: , . , .
1. General Pershing and Colonel Dodd have fulfilled their part of tne
contract bv preventing the escape of Villa to the west.
2. The inactivity of Generals Herrera and Gutierrez has permitted Villa
to escape to the south and southeast.
3. Villa is now understood to be rapidly nearing the section where he ma>
gather around him large reinforcements which will be a menace to anything
less than a force of 5,000 American troops.
4. General Pershing with his present means of subsistence and without re-
mounting his cavalry can scarcely be expected to continue the pursuit of Villa
without great danger to his comparatively small and exhausted forces.
There is not the slightest hesitation
among army officers in stating that the
farther General Pershing goes into Mex
ico depending on arrangements with pri
van parties as to provisions, forage and
griin the less efficient his force will be-
come. these officers claim credit for the
suggestion that troops be kept moving
into Mexico for the os'ensible purpose of
"guarding the line of communication be
tween Columbus and Pershing's base at
Casas Urandes."
It is regarded as significant that these
nd iltlons to the American army are In
tended to guard a line where there are no
Vlllalsta troopa and which is guarded al
ready by Carranxa troops.
All the private information to high offi-
cers of this Government from their cor-
respondents within the lines in Mexico ia
th'it the Carranxa government Is not keep
ing pace with the United States in the
campaign and is actually disabling thy
American expedition by its inactivity.
This is demonstrated, they say, by the
escape of Villa to the south.
It was Indicated today in army liead-
amrters that Carranza is complaining at
this late day that the I'nlted States troops
were rushed across the horder before the
I'nlted States Government and his govern-
ment had agreed upon a protocol.
Secretary of War Baker gave out a dis-
patch from General Funston which In-
cluded the following:
"General Pershing's comment is that
every indication shows the deslra of the
troops of the de facto government to aid
to the eitent of their ability."
General Pershing reported also that he
haii had "a very satisfactory conference
with General Herrera and expects today to
meet General Gutierrez."

precautions to guard the military base
at Columbus and the American line of com-
munication, the arrival of a number of
strangers in town an<> what seemed to be
an air of suppressed excitement about mili-
tary headquarters all contributed today to

ments In teh punitive campaign 11 Mexico.
Whether theae developments concern oper-
ations in the field or new steps to bo
taken In tke United States looking toward
the captor* of Villa, could aot be learned.
Because of the delay la communication
due to the work of extending the range of
the wireless field station to a point In the
vicinity of Satevo, cloeer to the camp of
General Pereblna, no reports concerning
the progress of the advanced American de-

WASHINGTON. D. C., April 10.—Sen-
ator Kail of New Mexico, who at the re
quest of Republican Senators, went to the
border Immediately after Villa's raid on
Columbus to investigate general conditions
there, declared in a letetr received to
day by Senator Gallinger. the minority
leader, that Carranxa troops were not co
operating with the American expedition In
any way or making any attempt to attack
Villa He complained that the border
patrol was not being maintained in ade-
quate force and said an unguarded gap
of nine miles had made tbe Columbus raid
possible.
Tbe letter was written in El Paso April
♦. It nuoted an unnamed authority as
saying that unless a more satisfactory use
of the Mexican railways were made pos-
sible within two weeks the American
troops muat withdraw and said reliable
information has reached the Senator that
Villa had not been wounded.
"The Mexicans," said the letter, "ha?"
made no attempt to attack Villa at all
and have not 111 any way been co-operating
with our force or attempting to check
Villa's retreat or to assist In his capture.
On his retreat Villa's first camp was
within five miles of 700 Carranxa soldiers
to whom Ramon Reyes reported and whom
he pleaded with to accompany him to at
tack Villa's 300 men. The Carranclstas
refused."
Describing In detail the Columbus raid
fnun Information gathered from Colum-
bus officials. Senator Fall said the ban
dita had made their way into the heart
of the town, looted two stores and set
fire to several buildings befort an alarm
was given.
With the aid of a machine gun placed
within twentv feet of the American army
hospital, he said the Mexicans then fought;
with the cltlxens of the town for another
fifty minutes before the troopers ata-
tioiied behind the hospital appeared.
The letter emphaslxed the possibilities
of the Mexican trench defeuse constructed
facing the border at Juarex and other bor-
der towns. He said stories of concentra-
tion of Carranxa troops along the border
had been exaggerated, but that lie was
reliably informed the Carranza command
er* coil Id put R000 men into Agile Tricta
within five hours aud that virtually ^a 11
the Carranza troops fn the State of Chi
huahua were stationed along the Mexican
Central Railroad within one t.o ten hours
from .Tnarex.
"I, however," Senator I'all added, "have
absolutely no fear of an attack from Mex-
icans under anv circumstances except
through Indian tactics such as pursued by
Villa at Columbus or where the Mexicans
are in overwhelming numbers."
The Seuator said tbat at the time he
wrote there was no border patrol west
of Douglas and has been none between
Gibson Ranch and Hachita. thirty miles
to tbe west. He declared Vflla sympntiilx
ers were overrunning virtually all of
Northern Mexico and that Villa easily
could capture Chihuahua where the garrl
son was friendly to him.
"In the Torreon. Parral and Santa Rn
sails districts." said the letter. "Villa has
many friends and one of his leaders, Ca
nuto' Roves, is said to have 1,500 armed men
constantly cutting communfcations and
threatening the garrison at Torreon."
The districts mentioned are among those
In which American troops are now operat-
ing.
fn concluding his letter Senator Fall
said he believed the Mexican people gen
orally welcomed the presence of American
troops.
"Mexicans of the Casas Grandes, Simla
Maria and Guerrero Valleys are welcoming
our aoldfrrs and deal with them on the
most friendly terms.' 'he wrote. "The
only opposition which they are meeting
at ail are among the people is because of
the understanding that we are assisting
Carranza."

Now Vastly Improved

that the Carranxa authorities are viewing
with some anxiety the continued presence
of American troops in Mexico and are In
dined to believe that the ohject of the
expedition has been accomplished in the
dlsperaal of Vllla'a main command. It is
authorltativelv slated, however, that I here
has been no suggestion from the de facto
government as In a "dead line" beyond
which the American troops should not go.
or as to a dale on which they abould be
withdrawn.
Senator Gallinger, the Republican leader
In the Senate, made public tonight a let-
ter from Senator Fall, who has been on
the border, reporting conditions to the
mlnortty Senators. Mr. Fall analysed the
liorder guard, said the raid on Columbus
was made possible by a wide gap in the
patrol and declared lie bad been reliably
Informed that unless the American army
was given full control of tbe Mexican
Northwestern Railroad within a week from
the date of his letter, April 4. the expedl
tlon would have to lie withdrawn.
Officials pointed out that tomorrow was
the day fixed for withdrawal by the Sen-
ators Informant and tbat Secretary T-an-
•Ing bad formally announced that tlie rail-
road quest Ion no longer waa a factor In
the situation. A full report on the coium-
lius raid had been ordered anil will be
made as soon as Colonel Slocitm, who com
manded the garrison, retorna from Mex-
ico.
As lo Senator Fall'a Statement that he
was assured that Villa was not wounded.
It was said at the Department tbat ail
