5000 CanGnza Troops
Modified South of Line;
Will Join Villa Chase

Douglas. Ariz., March 14.-It was
definitely learned to-day that General
Gales has modified about 5000 Car
rama troops at Cabullona, IS miles
south of the Arizona border. Car
rama officials declared there were
possibly 5000 men at Cabullona. This
force has fifteen pieces of artillery.
General Gales has been gathering
these troops for several days, having
announced they will join in the pur-
suit of Villa.
For several days General Gales has
been rushing troops northward from
Hermosillo to the border near Naco.
From there they were marched across
country to Aqua Prieta and then sent
south to Cabullona. On account of the
critical situation along the border few
foreigners have crossed to the MeXi-
can side in the last week and the man
euvers of these troops remained a Sc
cret to-day.
1t is reported in Mexican circles
that two more divisions of Gales will
arrive from Hermosillo shortly, follow
ing the same route. Gales himself re-
mained in Aqua Prieta tonight with
just sufficient men to police the town
The United States military author

withdrawal of the Carranza troops

ton with American soldiers.
