REPORTED VILLA IS
DEFINITELY LOCATED
A* P. A. Service.
WASHINGTON, April 4.—
Private advices seeming to show
that Villa has been definitely lo
cated somewhere south of the city
of Chihuahau were received at the
state department today and were
at once turned over the war de
partment to be transmitted to
General Pershing.
The reports have not been
made public but it is stated that
the bandit chief has been seen
some distance below the city. The
statement seems to discredit the
earlier reports that Villa lias been
>utided and was in hiding from
the pursuing American forces.
The information received by the
department is said to have been
transmitted by Consul Fletcher of
Chihauhua- Nothing has been
heard of the activities of General
Freshing since early yesterday
It was announcd today that the
Indian scouts called for by Fun
ston to aid in the task of running
the bandits to earth have all been
selected and have left Arizona to
day to join the Pershing forces.
Nineteen of the redskin trailers
and scouts compose the party

A. P. A. Service.
SAN ANTONIO, April 4.—A
total of two hundred Villaistaf
have been captured by the Ameri
can forces in Mexico according to
advices received at Fort Sam
Houston today.
The majority of the prisoners
are reported to have been taken
in the running fight between the
Dodds cavalry last Thursday.
From all authentic accounts the
Villaistas are now proceding to
J he {westward in the hope ol
reaching the higher mountain ele-!
vations where they will be more;
secure from attack than in the
country below Chihauhua. The
reports are conflicting, however.
Information reaching here from
.Mexican sources say that Villa
will not forego his attempt to
icacli Chihauhua in the hope of
picking up additional recruits, of
which he is in need if he intends
to make a stand against the pur
suing forces. The population of
Chihauhua are reported to be
great1} inclined in favor of the
i . ii(.it chief in spite of their seem
ing neutrality. *

WHERABOUTS OF GEN’L
PERSHING UNKNOWN
A* P. A. Service.
COLUUMBUS, April 4-—Just,
where General Pershing and his
flying columns are located at the
present time seems to be a matter
of conjecture to even his own
: taff officers. To all appearances
the American commander has
temporarily cut of? all communi
cation with his base as nothing
has been heard from him since
the day following the engagement:
with the Villa forces near Guer
rero.
When the vvat department'call
td for a list of the American cas
unities yesterday Peshing’s staff
officers at the American base at
San Geronimo reported that
Pershing has proceeded so far into
the interior that his present where
abouts is unknown.

usual amount of knifing was in
