INTIMATED CARRANZA

Pi. P. A. Service.
WASHINGTON, April 7,—In
dications are not wanting that the
Carranza government may soon
point out to the American gov
ernment that the troops now in
pursuit of Villa arc following a
cold trail and that the defacto gov
'ejnment will welcome a return
of the troops of the United States
to their own country. Advices to
this effect were received in Wash
ington today from El Paso.
However, the administration
- * < ? »
apparently has no intention of
withdrawing the troops until Vil
la is either dead or captured, re
gardless of the spirit of Carranza.
An intimation of the intentions in
this respect is contained in an an
nouncement given out by Lans
ing today denying that the early|
'withdrawal of the American
j troops in Mexico is contemplated
Johnson and Bogan in some
| startling stunts. Cabaret night,

FUNSTON DECLARES
FINDING VILLA SOME JOB
A. P. A. Service
SAN ANTONIO, April 7.—In
spite of the frequent reports that
Villa has been rounded up, it de
velops that the American mili
tary authorities possess no accur
ate knowledge of the present
whereabouts of the bandit chief
tain
General Funston admitted as
much this morning when he de
clared to newspaper correspond
ents that the finding of Villa was
like searching for the proverbial
needle in a haystack. The gen
eral declared that all of the re
ports definitely locating Villa, so
lar received are from Mexican
I sources and as * tar as
has been determined, are
all unreliable. The task of tind
ng the bandit is now apparently
up to the infantry the general
s|ys, as the cavalry forces are
unable to cover the territory
along the line of advance in an
effective manner. He also ob
served that if the use of i!»
icatt railroads had been permitted
by the Carranza governmnt, Vil

HAVE
_:_
By A P. A. Service.
MEXICO CITY, April 6.—
General Guiterrez, commander of
the Carranza forces in Northern
Mexico, reported to the war de
partment today that the capture
of Villa within a very short time

forces have definitely located Vil
la and his position is now sur
rounded.

ance and a big battle will proba
bly be fought before the rebel
chief is taken. Villa is said to
have frequently remarked that he
will never be taken by Carranza
Announcements today state that
government is preparing to send
a strong force into southern Mex
ico with the intention of dispers
ing the forces of Felix Diaz, who

Jiy A P. A. Service.
SAN ANTONIO. April 7.—
Villa was at Cieneguillas ten miles
south of Satevo, on April 4, ac
cording to General Giterrcz, com
mander of the Carranza troops in
Chihauhua General Bell received
this information from Chihauhua

of finally running the bandit lead
er down. Guiterrez reported that
the Carranza troops engaged fifty
of the Villa men at Cieneguillas
and succeded in capturing two in
addition to killing a number of
others. The captives admitted
that Villa was in the v icinity but
had left there early in the morn
ing with two hundred men, leav
ing the fifty with whom the con
stitutionalists came into contact
as a rear guard. General Hell also
reported that information from
other Mexican sources indicate
that some thousand de facto gov -
ernment troops have moved to the
south of Chihauhua for the osten
sible purpose of checking Villa's
retreat.

LONDON, April O-—One per
son was killed outright and a total
of eight were injureu m a Zeppe
lin raid on the east coast last
night. This is the fourth raid to
occur during the past week.
That the attack of last evening
was not more serious was proba
>!\ due to the increased aeroplane!
'orces that have been placed along j
he coast during the past few
lays. The papers are daily clamor
!ng for more effective preventa-j
tive measures and the government
is being subjected to scathing I
criticism by many oi the journals
The -Mail and several other lead
ing journals are urging the estab
lishment of an immense air flotil
la to guard the coast. The re
peated raids on the eastern towns
are causing great alarm and thou
sands are preparing to leave for
less accessible points. Following
the great raid on Leith and Yar
mouth a general exodus took
place.
