 No orders have been issued to the navy, but it was considered probable that some of the Atlantic fleet might be placed in Mexican waters to be near if Americans in coast towns were endangered by anti-American demonstrations
 The government is reluctant to make any naval demonstration that might be construed as against Gen. Carranza.
 Some officials suggest offering a re- ward for Villas capture. but it was decided at once that the United States had better send troops to catch him.
 Representative Miller (Republican) of Wisconsin told the House he ques- toned whether the Villa raiders could simply be regarded as marauders and whether the attack on Columbus did not assume proportions of almost a national incursion.

 Representative Slayden expressed indignation and horror at this great international crime"

Columbus, N. M--Reports which have multiplied here say that Fran cisco Villa is disintegrating the force of 1,500 to 2,500 men whom he led in the Columbus raid
 American military authorities say that if it had been possible, it would have been better to have gone after Villa when his raiders fled southward. His men were then demoralized and were dropping loot and war materials before the attacks of the 59 men un. der Major Frank Iompkins.
 Requests of Col Herbert Slocum, commanding the Thirteenth Cavalry here, and of Major Tompkins to be al lowed to renew the pursuit with a larger force. were denied, pending the organization of the large expedition

It was said at the White House that the American government wants Villa dead or alive and that no steps will be neglected to carry out that object.
 In report Gen. Funston told the war department he had accurate in- formation that Villa lsad 5000 troops with him, that Carranza troops in this vicinity had fled, and advised against "frittering away the time of the army guarding small towns" while Villa might have an opportunity to escape. He advised that the plans of the army for Villas capture be surround ed with secrecy for the sake of their success.
 At the cabinet meeting the possibil- ity was considered that some Carran- ga followers would join Villa on the assumption that the United States was invading Mexico, but the presi- dent felt convinced that Carranza and the Mexican people could be made to understand that the United States had no idea of impairing the sovereignty of their country. Strong language was

Reports from Mexican sources say that Villa apparently is carrying out plan to elude pursuit by breaking up his forces into small bands and hiding among the mountains Some of his forces are reported approaching the Sonora state border. Others are said to be making their way southward tains of the San Geronimo district, from which Villa started March 1 with the announced intention of invading the United States.
 Military men here believe that when Villa is found and pushed on both sides he will not stand and fight. This belief is based upon the exper- fences of the American troops in the surprise attack and the subsequent pursuit of the bandits by Major Tomp- kins, who described their flight as practically a rout.

Owing to the patrol duty to which the army has been assigned ever since the out break of the Madero revolution Tn 1910, the regiment has had on duty here only two-thirds of it's strength.
