SOMETHING IMPORTANT is
EXPECTED TO TAKE PlA ACE
At Once in the Mexican situa-
ton but What No One
Really Knows.
ALL IS AT A sTAnDsTML
All is Mere Speculation on the
Border as to What PERISH
ing is Doing.

Ell PASo. April 1.-Two Ameri-
cans, the first to arrive from the in
terror for several days, reached Ell
Paso Friday on train from Chihua-
hua City. They said that there was
absolutely quiet n the state capital
when they left, but that everywhere
there was apparent a curious feeling
OF expectancy that important devel-
opments were imminent.
AS had been the case for n week
the whole Mexican situation seems at
r standstill pending the outcome Of
the negotiations between Washing
ton and General Carranza regarding
the use of the Mexican railroads by
the American expeditionary force.
Repeated intimations that the sup
ply situation had reached an acute
stage have received strong support
by the statements made by soldiers
returning from the front.
The question of adequate clothing
for the American soldiers appears to
lie as urgent as that of food. Stories
from the front OF the expedients
adopted by the troopers to repair
worn-out garments. especially shoes,
gives sharp points to this problem.
In the absence OF any definite news
from General Pershing the border has
again been reduced to mere specula-
tion as to the whereabouts OF Villa
and the status OF the pursuit. What
is regarded as the most hopeful sign
Is that no news has come from Par
raj regarding the bandit. II he has
not reached that town by this time,
it is urged that there is still chance
of the American troops cutting in be-
tween him and the South. 1t Is also
argued that the absence of any news
of his movements favors the still per-
sistent story that he is wounded and
hiding in the hills.
Advanced guards of the American
expedition hunting Villa are operating
near Satevo and news that Colonel
contact with the Villa forces is ex-
pected. The region between Satevo
and Parral. where Villa is reported to
/ be heading. is infested with several
hands of Villa brigands.
American refugees from the Boni-
to-Juarez district say that II Villa
should succeed in uniting these men
he would have force Of at least
1000 men and would be in position
10 give the advanced American troops
hard battle before re-enforcements
arrived.
The latest official information
from the front showed that American
cavalry had penetrated south of San
Anotion, Chihuahua. and was still
moving southwark hard on the trail
Of the bandits. 1t is believed that
more frequent reports will now be
obtained from Colonel Dodd, mas
much as it is now possible for him
to relay his messages by courier to
Chihuahua City and thence by Mexi-
can telegraph lines to Ell Paso for re-
transmission to Major General Fun
ston at San Antonio.
