Ell P3so, Mar. 15.-Incoming pas
sengers from Columbus state that the
military camp at Columbus is assum-
ing big proportions, but there is no
indication that the army will be in
readiness to move for three or four
days. 1t was stated that the delay in

OF the New Mexico and Ell Paso from

throughout the country

ship as prevails in the European war
zone was established by American
forces along the Mexican border.
Signal corps operators were put in
charge Of the telegraph and telephone
offices at Columbus, ~ NJ, the con-
centration point of the American
army of occupation, and troops were
also placed on guard in the offices Of
the dispatchers Of all railroads en-
tering hi Paso so that every personal
and telephone conversation was heard
by a military man. The result was
that the public was denied all news
regarding the movement of troops.

said by creditable authority to total
not more than 400 men, were last re-
ported heading for Galena, east of
Casas Grandes, distance Of twenty
seven miles. 1t Is necessary to cross
through Chocolate Pass, which divides

Galena from Casas Grandes, or from

rival, met General Gaviera, the local
commander, and Consuls Garcia OF Ell
Paso in private conference. After
ward General Gutierrez made known

and maintaining patrols. FIVE columns
of 1900 men each are closing upon

commands of Gutierrez himself and
Generals Herrera, Maldonado, Cara
and Cabazos.
While the cavalry forces are NOV
ing in from the east the command Of
900 men at Santa Anna, under Col
onel Cano, is believed at the Juarez
headquarters to be sufficient to check
any attempt by Villa to escape to the
south of the canyon of the Santa
Maria river. A dispatch received from
Col. Macia at Pearson, said that Villa
carried large number of wounded
with him in wagons into Galena. The
Mormons at CasAs Grandes, he said,
feel perfectly secure and have no de-
sire to be taken out Of the country.

safety of Mrs. Wright's child, kidnap-
ed by villa.
Trying to Take Villa.
Every effort is being made by the
Mexicans TO effect the capture of
Villa before the arrival Of American

been at the task for such length of
time.
