Camp of General ]. J. Pershing at
the Front, April Is (By Motor and
Wireless to Columbus, N. M, April
19).-The American pursuit of Villa
is at a standstill because of the IN
provoked attack upon American cav
alrymen by the insubordinate soldiers
of the Carranza garrison at Parral.
At General Pershing's headquarters
there seemed no prospect of the re-
sumption of the chase while there were
numerous indications that continu-
alton Of the pursuit would meet with
armed resistance.
American Officers Fired on.
A small party of American officers
was fired upon near here last night,
none of the Americans being injured.
This, coming on the heels Of other
reports of sniping, is responsible for
the belief that the expeditionary COM
mand is confronted with a serious
problem.
A report received here from Car
rama sources that Villa colonel, cap
tured near Cusihuiriachic had prom
1sed to lead a party to a grave in
which Villa was said to have been
buried last Friday, is generally dis
credited by military authorities here.

San Antonio, Tex, April 2o.-Evi-
dence that Francisco Villa is dead has
been obtained from an aged couple
who nursed him and helped bury him,
according to a statement issued by
General AIvaro Obregon, Mexican min
lister of war, who said that he hoped to
have "good news" as soon as the
searching party, consisting Of two
Mexicans and one American officer,
return from examining the reputed
grave of the bandit.
Columbus, N. NJ, April 20.-Tandy
Sanford, Mexican suspected of guild
ing Villa and his band into Columbus
the night of the raid, was brought here
aboard a truck train. He was placed
in the guardhouse and held incommu-
nicado.
San Antonio, April 20. - General
Funston is sending to General Perish
ing more than 1000 additional troops
and there is reason to believe that
even more will be placed at the dis
posal of General Pershing if the cam
paign against Francisco Villa is con-
tinued. The troops which have been
ordered to Pershings base at Column
bus, are now on duty along the border.
What troops will relieve them and
where they will come from remained
unannounced. 1t may be that the war
department will have to authorize the
sending of the few remaining troops
in the United States into this depart
ment, or it may be that the filling of
the vacant points along the border
may be left to the Texas militia.
Troops From Texas Points.
The troops selected for General
Pershing are in the Sixth cavalry from
the Brownsville district, the Seven
teenth infantry from Eagle Pass, Troop
l. of the Tenth cavalry from Fort
Apache, Ariz., and one battalion of the
Twenty-fourth infantry, one company
of which is at Ell Paso, one at Maria
and another at Fabens. Malta is a
town just north of Ojinaga on the
Mexican frontier and Fabens is on
the Rio Grande only few miles from
Ell Paso.
In addition to these troops, totaling
1890, General Pershing now has in
his base guard at Columbus 800 men,
but the necessity of maintaining at
least that many there is recognized.
Villa Still at Large.
Staff officers here were convinced
some days ago that unless Villa was
taken before he got beyond points
within short distance south of Safe
vo, the chances of getting him were
remote. That point has been reached
and Villa remains at large-or dead
and to that situation is added an I'M
disguised hostility Of various Carran-
"a organizations that army men here
declare makes doubly necessary the
Strengthening of General Pershing's
forces.

Washington, April 20. - President
Wilson will lay the submarine crisis
before Congress at once. In the hall
of the House of Representatives, with
Congress seated before him in Joint
session, the President will speak the
last words of the United States to
Germany in the grave situation which
has kept the two nations on the brink
Of break for nearly a year.
Developments, yet undisclosed and
of the most solemn Importance, are
expected to follow quickly. An ulti-
matum to Germany and even the sew
erance of diplomatic relations are two
most likely eventualities.
To Fully Advise Leaders.
The President will receive at the
White House, Chairman Stone and
Flood of the Congressional commit
tees dealing with foreign affairs, and
Senator Lodge and Representative
Cooper, the ranking Republican men,
bers.
The oft-repeated statement from
the White House and by administra-
ton officials that before breaking off
diplomatic relations with Germany, the
President would fully advise the
heads of the foreign affairs commit
tees, was recalled in connection with
the announcement of the meeting and
it was everywhere regarded as the
forerunner of q development of ut
most gravity.
Capital Fears Worst.
All official Washington fearing the
worst and hoping for the best, was
practically in ignorance of the details
of the Presidents plans.
Just after the Cabinet had depart
ed, the President summoned Secretary
Tumulty. He instructed him to go to
the capitol and arrange for a joint
session of the House and Senate at l
o'clock this afternoon.
His secretary went to the Presi-
dents room in the Capitol and sent
for Chairman Stone and Floor Leader
Kern. After a hurried conference
they went to the House side and talk
ed with Majority Leader Kitchin. A
few minutes later a resolution for a
joint session was introduced in the
House.
Immediate Action Desired.
Does the gentleman from North
Carolina desire immediate action on
this?" asked Representative Mandell,
acting as Republican leader in the alb
sence of Representative Mann.
YES" responded the Democratic
leader. Il understand the President
has some very important communica-
tons to make"
Without debate or opposition the
House at once passed the resolution
and the clerk carried it over to the
Senate.
A sense of its meaning electrified
the chamber, although the senators
were in ignorance of it's full purposes
and in a tense silence it was passed.
