SAN PEDRO DE LAS CoLONfAs.
Tex. April l5-General Francisco
villa, field commander of the Mexi-
can constitutio1llista, declared TO-
day that he believed the combined
Federal forces of Generals yelasco
de Moure and Mas are utterly de-
moralized as the result Of their de-
feat in this vicinity and that their
annihilatlon will be comparative
ly easy matter now. Following their
defeat after a savage ten-days battle,
the Federals are restreating precipi-
lately towards the east today, hoping
TO reach Monterey or Saltillo. where
final stand can be made. Villas
rebel cavalrymen are allowing them
no rest, however, and are pursuing
and harassing them IN every way
possible Backing up the hOrsemen
are several columns OF infantry,
villa hoping TO surround the fieelng
soldiers and wipe them out.
villa has displayed the same
eagerness 20 follow up his advantage
that he showed after the recent sue
cessful campaign at Torreon, when he
rushed his forces after Nelagco with.
out a moments loss of time.
As a result OF this policy. his
troops have been fghting almost con.
tinuoualy day and night for more
than three weeks
villa regards the victory here as thl
greatest he has won in his military ca
reer. The largest armies engaged in
single battle in Mexican history partici
pated. The Federals numbered 1900

WASHINGTON. April ia series
of studied insults and outrages
against the dignity and honor OF the
United States has forced President
Wilson's hand in Mexico. Forbear-
ance has been mistaken for irresolu-
tion and courtesy for cowardice the
President is now convinced.
The inevitable outcome. utilization
Of the armed forces of this republic
to compel respect, has now been
reached. And one individual, Victor
iano Huerta, self-proclaimed dicta-
tor of Mexico, must decide whether
this weapon is 10 be used against
himself and his people, or whether
Mexico shall recognize In the fullest
degree that this is a great sovereign
government entitled TO every re-
spect.
With the Atlantic fleet steamihg
southward through a thick smother
that enveloped the coast. the Presi-
dent today took up the program TO
be followed after Badgers fighting
machines join those already in Mox-
ican waters. lie consulted Democra-
tic and Republican leaders Of both
branches. He told them OF specific
insults directed against the American
flag. He informed them that he had
caused Huerta to be emphatlcally
told that only a national salute and
a promise of a change for the better
would be accepted as a reason for q
/ continuance of the past policy OF
/ Hands off" And he then explained
that the possibility of Huerta DEFY
ing the United States was far from
remote
The President was more in earnest
than at any time since the Mexican
problem came to him. He made no
attempt to hide the fact that the army
as we'll as the navy may have to be
utilized. He said there would be no
secrets from Congress. And he prom
ised that If the need arises the legls-
lative branch will be asked TO au-
thorize all belligerent steps. Demo
Gratis and Republicans promised sup
port At the conclusion of the confer
ence, the administration was con-
vinced that If war needs must come
the country will be found a unit in
support OF that policy.
The announcement that Charge
O'Shaughnessy's official dispatches
had been held up and turned over tC
q Mexican censor came as distinct
shock to senators and representatives
Such action is a grave breach OF in
