patches containing recommendations OF

As the round trip between Berlin and

April 26.--Americsn troops again are
pressing hard on Villas trail. Car
rama opposition Notwithstanding, tho
pursuit southwark is on at full cry.
In a running fight through mountain
gorges and fastne.ses Of Western Chi
huahua that lasted late into the night
of April %. Colonel Dodd's fyins
squadrons again came in contact with
one OF the outlaws bands near Toma-
chic.
The Americans were outnumbered,
but routed a force of 26o bandits, un-
der the command Of four chiefs-Baca,
Cerventes, Dominique and Rios. Six
Mexicans were killed and nineteen
wounded, while horses, arms and equip
ment were captured.
Colonel Dodd's losses were two killed
and three wounded.
The American column, which had
been in the saddle for two days. came
upon the bandits about 4:90 o'clock in
the afternoon. The Mexicans we're en-
cemped in a rocky canyon, hidden from
the advancing troopers. They had the
advantage of first sight.
Warned by Bugle Calls.
The sound Of buglcs summoning the
Ia
Americans Of the nearness OF the foe.
Immediately the fighting began, but the
range was too great for the American
rifles TO bear effectively.
The battle then became q contest in
horsemanship. a matching Of endur-
ance between two commands. both
worn and exhausted. Through narrow
gorges, along trails becoming increas-
ingly difficult and ever mounting high
er, it led, marked by pieces of equip
ment cast aside oy the Mexicans in
their flight.
Once the bandits received reinforce
ments from the northeast and vainly
tried to make a stand. As night came
the bands scattered in the surrounding
hills and Colonel Dodd gave up the
chase.
II is believed the MeXicans are re-
treating directly on Guerrero. Last re-
ports had Villa himself at Monoays.
about fifty miles south Of Tomachic.
Dodd's Men Praised.
Colonel Dodd and his men have been
officially praised for fortitude and en-
durance shown under the severest con-
ditions they have yet experienced.
They were two days and two nights in
the saddle in one OF the rockiest and
most difficult regions of Mexico. Yet
when the bandits were sighted. de-
spite the fact that they were outnum-
bered. the Americans promptly began
the battle.
Conditions in the base here now are
excellent. Train after train OF motor
trucks have arrived during the last few
days, and we are all abundantly sup
piled with rstions, clothing and equip
ment.

was now complete Gordon Of troops
around the centre o, Dublin. He
added the information that "a half
hearted attack was made by the rcb-
els on Dublin Castle Monday The cas-
ualties at Dublin. according to his

inent member Of the Tralee Irish Vol

not been disclosed, but he was con-
veyed to Dublin under a strong escort.
The men held in connection with the
expedition include Sir
Roger Easement, two Irish confedera.es
and twenty-five Germans comprising the
crew The chief Importance of the

an extensive plot having rsmifcst'ons
in Germany, Ireland and America.
Irish Americans are said to have been
largely instrumental in financing thu
revolutionary movement.

The capture Of the expedition by tho
navy secret service is considered 4 re-
clever piece Of work. An

walked into the arms of their enepies.

Easement and his companions larded
in a rowbost from the submarine.
When arrested. Easement is reported

apparently was without hope Of sseap-
ing death for treason. II is believed
hat his trial and condemnation will BE-
speedy, although for the present II il
