MEXICAN CAVALRY
 PURSUING VILLA
But Chances of Catching Him Are Considered Slight

Fl Paso, Tex, Sept. 1S.-Two col
 mns of government cavalry under General Matias Ramos and Col. Jose
 darrero, today were pursuing Villa Y nd his main band which Saturday &nade the independence day attack on # Chihuahua City, into the rugged
 Fanta Clara canyon district to the
 Northeast, according to reports to HSeneraI Francisco Gonzales, com Hnandant~in Juarez. The bandits are we'll mounted and apparently were Heading the de facto forces over the Tagged rocks, ruinous to the feet of #he horses, into the canyon. Persons Familiar with the country pointed out
 hat should Villa reach one of his &afrs the troops may have the greatest
 difficulty in finding him.
 Today's reports indicated that Vil- $a's force numbered approximately 500 and was opposed by the garrison &f about 1000. The Villa casualties &also were said to be considerably lar 3Eer than was first indicated. From &he number of dead and wounded picked up by the pursuing forces, it kvas estimated, that the losses probab- M were about 250.
 Villa himself directed at attack, ac- 6orddng to the despatches, but did not 6nter the town, remaining across he BEio Churiscar, to the northwest with E few hundred of his recognized e'Gold ones." When his followers had fallen back to this point, it was asserted, he directed the retreat.
 Much Damage Done In Town.
 Much damage was done to the pen- [tentiary and the municipal and fed eral palaces, which the bandits suc- ceeded tn capturing before the sur prised members of the garrison, who had participated in an independence say celebration, rallied Rifles were useless in the hand to hand street lighting which followed, the reports said. Pistols and bare fists were used, as the two commands struggled through the early morning hour in the rain. When finally the fire, which General Travino 1 Erected, from Santa Rosa, a fortified ] pill tor the west of the city, had 1 forced the Villistas to retire, they left 1 he streets behind them covered with 1 heir dead. Search today was eAs | .aade among the bodies in an attempt | so identify prominent outlaw leaders, an especial effort being made to find 1 race of Jose Inez Sa1azar, known as the perpetual revolutionist,' who Eas held in the penitentiary on a sharge of treason and released in the 1 attack
 Retreat Becomes Rout.
 The bandits had made an orderly retreat into the outskirts of the city, according to despatches, when they l again came into the line of govern II bent artillery fire, this time from he Two hills of Nombre De Dios. The retreat immediately became a rout.
 Rumors current here that part of | he Carranza garrison had joined l Villa were denied at the Juarez com l nandancia, it being asserted that all lespatches were warm in their praise | of the government troops for their l oyalty in the action.
 Physicians attending Gen. Tre- vino, who sustained a wound in the l arm in the action, said today that his injuries were slight, it was an
