San Antonio, Tex, April S.-An-
nouncement was made at headquarters
here today that Villa has eluded all at
tempts to head him of and is now well
down in the Parral region
This means the expedition has fol-
lowed him as far south as is safe The
line of communication is even now at

Whether the column will be recalled
is up to Congress, in the opinion of
army people They believe the Presi-
dent will decide to order the troops
back into home territory when he rea-
Lies that Villa cannot be found and
taken dead or alive; whether the Ameri-
can people will permit the repetition Of
the Vera Cruz fiasco is generally
doubted.

Meanwhile, the Felicitas who are cen
tered in San Antonio. are hoping to pun
Of more stunts that VIII add further TO
the mass Of complications. Apparently
they hope at least TO bring about situs-
lions that will force intervention n they
can get nd Of CHrranza IN no other way.
The first card played BY the, Fe,icitas
was the burning Of the bridges south OF
Piedrss Negras. They say here the I'm
pulse TO those acts was received from
Wall street, Lombard street and La
Place De La Bourse. The faction Is

dance They have centered all their
rich Cienufco families with the French
and English bondholders Of Mexican rail-
road securities and hope TO stew the
Mexican affair to the boiling point for
Carranzs.
They have money. but that is the least
factor in a Mexican revolution.
Reyes Failure Recalled.
Gen. Bernardo Reyes some few Year,
ago came to San Antonio with a barrel
OF money. enlisted 1900 men under pay
and started "on to Mexico City" When
he crdtsed the line all had deserted ex-
cept fourteen men. ten Of whom wer,

It takes a real man who can ride hard
and shoot straight TO raise trouble in
Mexico. and Felix Disz. after his Vera
Cruz fiosco, and his Cuidadela fall at
the last hurdle, after going well over
! the course. does not leave him potent
in Mexican estimation.
The best bet Of the weIicitas is the
American Congress and Villas escape
from the Pershing column. II Congress
keeps the column over the line, Gen.
PershIng may stay until he marches into
the City Of Mexico and selects a prssi-
