To Central Mexico

SAN DIEGO, Cal, March 19.-Ad-
vices received here today from Quay
mas stated that Lieutenant General
Dieguez who has command of Carran-
"a forces operating against the Yaquis
in Southern Sonora, had departed un-
expectedly for central Mexico.
RumOrs that could not be authenti-
Gated suggested that he had resigned
his command but it was believed in
Guaymas that DiegueZ, who is a man
of ability and a close friend to General
Obergon, will resume his duties as gov
ernor of Jalisco.
Everything was reported quiet in
Guaymas and military commanders III
the state of Sinaloa were said to have
announced that they had received or
ders to prevent any disturbance and
to afford Americans every protection.

According to Writer, Who
Describes Probable Plan
Of Villa for Last Stand;
Bandit Has Two Safe
States
(By DAN ROSE)

DOUGLAS, March 1.-THE Carran-
"a army, under General Gales, sta
Toned at Punta de Aqua, IS miles
sOnth of Douglas, has approximately
Increased his force to 5000 men. All
are well armed and equipped General
Gales has been dividing his troops in
to small bands and placing them in
different towns adjacent to Cabullona
presumably to ward off any attack
from Villa. To the writer it seems
this action on the part of General
Gales is absurd; Villa will never re-
turn to the northern part of Sonora
again. He is Fastening with all pos
Sble speed to his old stamping
grounds, the Sierra Madre mountains
IN Durango. If hard pressed by our
troops, he will probably make a stand
in the region of Batopillas in the Sier-
IA Turhumare in Chihuahua, as in the
mountains there is found abundant
water and game and there he has many
friends.
Sonora has never been in sympathy
with Villa as far as the official govern
ment was concerned. First it was
with Madero, then with Carranza and
it mas been for Carranza ever since
Sinaloa, Zacatecas and Coahuila have
never been for him at heart; their
people obeyed only when he welded
his tyrannic power over them. His
only power now lies within the border
of two states, Durango and Chihuahua.
and there, within the mountain fast
ness of his home country, he will make
Ia CT 4 is,t Ia In.
ardent admirers in Mexico, especially
since his hellish deed at Columbus, but
Il greater part of those admirers are
controlled by officials in sympathy
with CarranZa, and any extensive prep
aration on the part of CarranZa will
not lie for the protection of his army
against any attack of Pancho Villa AS
our army in Mexico is protecting Car
IlhZd's army at the present time more
securely than that general ever did, |
lave no doubt that the Carranza gov
eminent feels safer and breathes cas-
icr than it ever did before
In all probability the next expedition
that will leave this side of the line will
follow the west side of the Sierra
Madres to the Rio Mulatos and cross
over tlt MOUNTAINS from lnere to Mex
eco Northwestern Railway and utilize
that road to transport their outfit fur
Their south.
Or they may continue on down the
west side of the range to a point on
the X. c. NJ. x O. railroad, there to
guard that road against any possible
passing of Villa to the coast
There is no question that Villa has
taken advantage of the Mexican North
western TO transport his troops south.
and if he did he will go as far, probably
as BocOyna, from which point he can
easily, Gas he knows the trails,) go into
3 mountainous region that will be most
dangerous for any army to follow
Nothing has been heard authentically
of the troops who departed from CO.
lumbus, but when word does come, il
is safe bet that it will be from that
particular part Of the country | have
described.
