Major General Funston and his staff

have been received and reported to
Washington. again gave the campaign
of the expedition their undivided at.

Whether villa Is dead or continuing
his game OF hide-and seek with the
American troops. was not a subject of
speculation at headquarters. General
Pershing sent no dispatches bearing
on the reports of the alleged discov-
cry of the bandits body. nor did news
come from any other American source.
The Mexican consul here received con
frmed reports from Consul Andreas
Garcia of Fl Paso. but nothing more
was available today.
General Funston said today that the
main line of communication now as
far as Sateyo could not be extended
with the present number of troops
available. and expressed his convic-
tion that further operations could not
be conducted unless authority was Sc
cured for the establishment Of a new

Among those believed TO have burn

daughter of William Clark. president
of the Westerly mill of the American
Thread Company. and W. NJ Barber.
also of Westerly.
Confusion Prevailed.
Great confusion followed the col
lision and 1t was long before a definite
idea OF the extent OF the disaster could
be had. As the flames of the burning
cars and buildings died out the train
yard was left in darkness and those
who went to the aid OF the injured
worked under great difficulties.
The only telegraph lines in the town
went out of commission with the
burning OF the station and the only
communication with the outside world
was by a single telephone wire. over
this help was summoned from Provi-
dence and New London. the former
sending a wrecking train and physi-
clans and the latter city dispatching a
hospital train.
Estimates OF the dead varied widely
