CARRANZA'S STRANGE SHIFT
Mexican Army Moved To Border and
Now Lies Between Gen. P~ershinq's
Force and the u. S.

Ell Paso, Texas.-Much excitement
was occasioned here when it became
known that the largest part Of Car
ranza's army in North Mexico had
been transferred to the border and
lies between Gen. Pershing's
force and the border.
The reason for the Carranza troops
moving to the border remains unex-
planned. 1t is impossible even to
make a fair ~estkRa~te of the number
of men under Gen. Gavira at Juarez.
The large staff at his headquarters
and the fact that new troops are ar.
irving daily indicates that his force
is a large one. The most conservative
lations range from hat point upward
to 5000. Every precaution has been
taken to prevent the facts being
known, and most of the men are kept
outside the town among the hills. Re.
ports from Aqua Prieta and Ojinaga
tell of Mexican re-enforcements reach
ing those points also, but nothing is
known as to their numbers.
There is no question hat there is
serious and growing uneasiness in Ell
Paso which has been sharply accentu.
ated by the problem which has arisen
over the request OF the United States
government to Gen. CarranZa for the
use Of the Mexican railroads to trans
port supplies. Americans here do not
believe that Carranza dare grant this
request, especially as it is understood
that Gen. Funston proposes, if it is
granted, to take train crews and equip
ment into Mexico and place military
guards at the stations. The presence
Of American soldiers ON Mexican rail-
roads, it is said. would be very likely
misunderstood by the poems, and it is

Ell Paso. Texas.-Following hard on
the news that the Mexican telegraph
n telephone wires between Juarez
II Cascas Grandes had been cut,
word has come from Columbus in a
dispatch passed by the censor that
both wireless and ground wire com
munication with Gen. P%ershing had
failed. The army field wire between
Columbus and headquarters Of the ex-
peditionary force was severed in %
places. it was said. The cause Of the
trouble with the wireless is unknown.
d. Gen. Gavira, at Juarez, has admitted
that he had failed to restore wire COM
munication with Cascas Grandes, and
it was practically conceded by the
Mexican official that the cutting of
wires was the result of a raid Of Villa
bandits. The damage lone was either
unknown or surpassed.
. In the absence Of any news from
either Gen. Pershing or Gen. Gavira,
there was nothing but conjecture as to
the result Of the fighting between Villa
and the Carranza forces, said to have
Cured near Namiquipa.

murder Of American citizens by Next
cans was brought to the border by refu-
gees, foreign and domestic, who are
leaving that section Of the country. It
is said the Americans were killed dur
ing an anti-American demonstration, in
which half a hundred Mexicans partici-
pated. The bodies of the dead Ameri-
cans were left at the ranch house when
the enraged Mexicans took up their
march northward, hoping to join some
squad of Villa soldiers. Mexican refu-
gees declared the American consulate
had been closed and that feeling
against Americans and American in
terests is intense.

the bandit leader turned on his pur-

ming fight which started at Las Cruces

United States troops from the com

once a rapid march to the support OF
the Ca%rranzistas from Ell Vale. An,
other detachment followed the trail
which leads to the pass through the
villa will retreat in the direction OF
LaGuna Babicora.
Reports indicate that the Americans
will be in the midst of the fighting be.
fore long, either at Namiquipa Or the
mountain pass. An engagement at
the latter point would give Villa a
distinct advantage, as he is expected
to give fight from the mountain slopes.
Villa is said to have about 1900
men. He is able to stand and fight
only because 400 sympathizers, work

NEUTRAL VESSEL IS SUNK
Dutch Liner Tubantia Sent To BOT.
tom Oft Coast Of Holiand-Disas-
ter Charged To Torpedo.

AmStofdam.-The newest and finest
steamship sailing under the Dutch flag,
the Tubantia. of the Houand-Lloyd line,
has been sunk 30 miles of the Dutch
coast.
Although !. is not positively estab-
l1shed whether the sinking wa due to
a mine or q torpedo, there is q singular
unanimity on the part of those who
were on board in attributing it to a
submarines act. The crew base their
belief in this regard chiefly on the In
tense violence Of the explosion and in
the fact that it occurred a%midships.
The vessel was outward bound from
Amsterdam to South American ports,
carrying a crew of 1874 and 50 passen-
gers, the latter. mostly neutrals, in
Guiding, it is said, three Americans.
The ship bore the usual Identification
marks of her neutral character, includ-
ing an Illuminated name and flag.
1t is now believed there was a small
number of lives lost in the sinking of
the Tubantia, either in the explosion or
in all accident which attended launch
ing Of a lifeboat. The steamship re-
manned afloat several hours. f.
According to all reports there was
no panic, every one on board behaving
splendidly.
The boats were launched in their ap'
pointed order and the passengers were
all taken off first. The rescue work
was difficult owing to the darkness.
the heavy mist and the rough e The
boats were several hours in finding the
Noordhinder ~lightship, which was two
miles away.
The captain and part of the crew e
manned on the gradually sinking ship
for some time, the wireless operator
keeping up the working of guiding
Dutch vessels to the rescue. The cap
tain was on the vessel for two hours
after she was struck and was the last
to leave. The rescuing vessels took the
passengers and crew to Flushing, Am
sterdam and the Hook.
The loss of one of Hollands finest
steamships has stirred the country
deeply. The sinking of the Tubantia,
valued at 81, 900, 900 and insured for
81, 24O, 600, means loss of valuable cargo

course of the fire temporarily.

Paris fire department., a senj-volun-

from being capable to combat such a

the onrushing flames. Scarcity of wa

Just how the fire started was not
known. The compress, with hundreds
of bales of cotton, was first consumed.
It is IS blocks from the compress to the
center of the business district. This
distance, somewhat over a mile, was
laid in ruins in less than an hour. A
