And Senator Fall Has Information That
No Attempt Was Made to Stop Him
Washington Orders Secrecy on
Funston Regarding Plans.

I'll. PASO, Texas, March 30.-Mili-
tary men made no secret today of their
belief that Francisco Villa had slipped
through the Gordon of American troops
and Carranza forces pursuing him in
Mexico.
The latest information was that the
bandit leader was moving through the
Santa Maria valley. Once among his
peon friends, who probably would give
American troops misleading informa-
tion regarding his whereabouts, Villa
might escape detection for a long
time, it was pointed out.
Rowing bands of Villa men are re-
ported everywhere in the region of
the Santa Maria valley, but apparent
" the American flying columns have not
come in contact with them.
Mexican officials said today they had
no news az to the whereabouts of vii
la, but that the troops of the de facto
government are leading the American
soldiers in the attempt to oteapture him.
Ranchers from the chihuahua dis
trict said that when it became known
that there was price upon Villa s
head, dead or alive, the bandit would
be in constant danger of betrayal.
Whether the American troops have
made it known that there is a reward
Cor Villa has not been learned here
among the peon population.
Brig. Gen. Bell, commandant at Fort
Bliss, awaited official orders today t.
ship supplies to the army over the
Mexico Northwestern railroad Case
line, forage, canned goods and fioui
will go forward as soon as the orders
are received.
A report that Villa on Tuesday haC
raided Santa Tomas, south of Mani
quipa, became current today, but wa
not credited. Neither the commando
of the Juarez garrison or Mexican Con
sui Garcia has received any advice
from Mexico and officers of the Mexic,
Northwestern railroad said they ha'
no information regarding the reporte'
raid.
