the increasing danger that they soon may

Notwithstanding his reported wound.

Washington, April 10.-Over-night
dispatches from General Funston to the
War Department made public by Sec
rotary Baker today were summarized
in the following statement:
THE latest dispatch from General
Pershing, dated April 5. explains in
frequency of communication by saying
that the wireless has not been able to
work and aeroplane communication has
been difficult because of lack Of suit
able landing places.
The dispatch again confirms the
early report of Villa being severely
wounded in the right knee.
General Pershing reports that he
has had a very satisfactory conference
with General Herrera and expects to-
day to meet General Gutierrez, to
whom he sent messages by aeroplane
to Chihuahua and received back re-
plies offering full cooperation. Cen
eral Pershings comment is that every
indication shows the desire of the
troops of the de facto government to
aid to the extent Of their ability.

that one aeroplane was badly disabled
in landing April 6, leaving only five
out of the original eight now in SER
