will resist with all his lower the en-.
try OF American troops into Mexico, but
is still opposed to Villa, according to
reports from sources believed relia-
bic, received here.
The news of Herrera's disaffection
was considered sufficiently authentic
for General Bell to telegraph General
Funston at San Antonio that he be-
lieved it to be true.

General Bell added to his message,
however, the emphatic denial of Her.
rera's reported revolt issued here by
Mexican Consul Andreas Garcia, which
was supported by kilograms said to
have been received from General Her.
rera himself and General Gutierrez.
Carranzas field chief.
General Herrera has been known as
a personal enemy of Villa. His pres
ent position is said to be that the de
facto government has betrayed Next
can interests in permitting the SOL
diers Of the United States to enter
Mexico territory and that this betrayal
outweighed whatever offenses Villa
has committed.
Fugitive Tells Story.
Among arrivals here from Chihua-
hua City was. DR.. ]. o. II. Newly, an
American physician. who was former.
~ chief surgeon to Carranza's army.
DR.. Newly said he was no longer Of
ficially connected with the army, but
that he was transacting some business
between the de facto government and
Washington. He insisted that the re-
ports Of Herrera's detection must be
untrue, as lie knew the general wen
and believed him loyal to General
Carranza.
DR.. Newly said General Gutierrez
had 1000 men scattered between Chi
huahua and Santa Ana, the latter
town about 20 miles south of Mani
qu1pa, with which he believed he could
prevent Villa breaking through to the
south. He: said. however, that there
were many assertions from the Car
rama army On account of the low nav.
According to the physician, the
American troops have an almost i'm.
possible task to catch Villa if the ban

Washington, March "a. - Grave ap-
prehension regarding the outcome Of
the American expedition into Mexico
in pursuit OF Villa was evident for the
first time in Washington, after re-
ceipt by the war department of dis
patch from General Funston, saying
report had reached him that 1000
Carranza troops at Chihuahua under
General Luis Herrera had revolted
and aligned themselves with the ban
dit chief.
Further Revolts Feared.
II Herrera and his troops have join
ed Villa, some officials believe other
Carranza commanders and troops may
quickly follow their example.
In such an event, the United States
and de facto government of Mexico
Will find themselves confronted with
situation so serious that it's posi-
b1lities hardly could be estimated.
Troops Well Equipped.
The troops under Herrera are de-
scribed here as being probably the
best equipped in Northern Mexico and
they are said to be we'll supplied with
ammunition.
Rebellion in Carranza's army would
render the position of the American
expeditionary force so perilous that
every available soldier would be rush
ed to REINFORCE the advancing COL
umns. For this purpose, not more than
about $4,000 men would be available
without calling out the national guard.
