fUNSTON'S PLANS
ARE KEPT SECRET
RIGID CENSORSHIP REGARDING
MOVEMENT AGAINST VILLA
AND BANDITS.
THREE REGIMENTS ARE SENT
No Call For National Guard is Con-
templated.-Troops May Have
Crossed Border.

Wshington.-Secrecy regarding Gen
eral Funston's plans for moving
against Villa and his bandits has beer
partment that even high officials OF
the government are in doubt as to
whether American troops actually
| had crossed the Mexican border.
Secretary Baker announced that the
Twenty-third Infantry, now at Gal
weston, Tex, had been ordered to Ell
Paso because of fear of Mexican at
tacks felt in many towns along the
border. The regiment, about 1000
strong, will be stationed at points
designated by General Funston.
The order to the Twenty-third, the
Secretary said, was the only import
ant development of the day of which
the department had any knowledge,
and that nothing had come from any
other source indicating that the adj
vance guard of the expeditionary force
was already on Mexican soil. He said
he would make known the fact that
the expedition was on its way just as
soon as the news reached him.
Questioned as to the messages that
had come, the Secretary admitted that
there was nothing directly denying
reports that the border had been
crossed. He said he had nothing to
add to or detract from his previous
statement that General Funston had
full authority to proceed whenever he
was ready. The secretary emphasiz-
cd kha 20 NJ cfo NV
the army would be in full recognition
OF Mexican sovereignty. He declined
to discuss further the question of
what action the de facto government
might take as a result of the sending
of American troops in pursuit Of the
bandits.

Y. S. Troopers Follow Villa Band
Across Border.-Washingt Be-
hind Col. SIocum's Action.

Columbus, N. M.-Francisco Villa,
outlawed Mexican bandit, raided Uni
ted States territory. With 500 men he
attacked Columbus, killed at least 16
Americans and fired many buildings

Not less than $50 troopers of the
Thirteenth United States Cavalry fol-
lowed the Villa band into Mexico. Re-
ports to Col H. J. Slocum, command
ing United States troops at this point
stated that Villa had made a stand Is
miles south of the border where spir-
tied fighting ensued. In this engage
ment an unnamed private was killed
and Capt. George VILLAS, adojutant of
the Thirteenth Cavalry was wounded.
The raid on American territory
proved costly to the bandit chieftain.
The bodies of Is bandits, including
Pablo Lopez, second in command, had
been gathered and burned before noon
and troopers reported and undeter-
mined number of dead still lying in the
brush. Led to the attack under the
slogan:

followers fought with desperation. Just
before dawn they crept along bitches,
skirting the United States cavalry
camp and rushed the sleeping town,
firing heavily.
The first volley brought American
troopers into almost instant action.
While portion of the raiders engaged
the cavalry, others began applying the
torch and shooting American civilians
who ventured from the buildings
Lights in homes and public buildings
Immediately became targets for sni-
pers posted at Villas direction. Other
bandits creeping close to American
homes, enticed a number of civilians
into the open with English spoken in
vitations. A number of fatalities are
attributed to this ruse.
Stores were looted, oil was poured
upon frame structures, and the match
applyed by still other bandits. The
postoffice was raided, furniture smash
ed, but the looters secured only one
small registered package.
The casualties of the Thirteenth
Cavalry in the fighting at Columbus
