SAYS MEXICAN BANDITS
FIRED ON HIS TRAIN
Cacoulites Describes Battle Be-
tween Soldiers and Outlaws.

Railroad travel in Mexico makes up
in excitement what it LACKS in safety,
according to d. p. Cacoulites. assistant
superintendent Of the Mexican Tele-
graph Company, who arrived yesterday
on the Spanish liner Antonio Lopez.
"A train was riding on not long
ago between Vera Cruz and Port OF
Mexico" he said. "was fired on by 300
bandits from a hillside. There were
twenty-five regular soldiers on the
train. and for few minutes there was
hot battle. The passengers, scared
almost to death. crouched down on the
floor and tried to crawl under the seats.
Nobody on the train was hurt"
Mr.. Cacoulites also told Of another
trip which was considerably delayed
when the bandits blew up the train
ahead.
The Lopez will sail for Spain on
Wednesday.

undermined that officers and men
were in state OF constant nervous
tension from the extra duty which they
had to perform, the battleships Wis
consin, Iowa and Missouri reached An
rapolis Friday night from the Phila-
delphia Navy Yard at League Island,
which they left Wednesday morning.
On one OF the vessels the captain
was on the bridge for forty-eight hours
continuously. There were only tve
officers aboard. No more could be
spared for the trip. despite the fact
that she should have had more than
twoscore. During the fortyeight hours
the captains meals were brought TO
him as he stood guard over the huge
bulk beneath him When Hampton
Roads was reached halt was made to
allow him to catch few hours sleep.
after supply of ammunition had been
taken aboard
There were not as many officers and
men aboard as are needed TO man the
vessel efficiently when she is in reserve
ct League Island
What was true OF this vessel was
true of the two others. according TO
men familiar with the matter. Stokers,
firemen. engineers. sailors all were
forced TO stand double and triple duty,
while the officers took their rest only
IN snatches. Experienced helmsmen
were at a premium. and the course OF
the ships up the Chesapeake was like
the trail Of a water snake because Of
the lack OF experience of the men, who
at times had to be sent to take the
wheel
This trip is pointed TO by naval men
as an answer 10 the contention Of Sec
rotary Daniels that the navy is ready
TO fight.
The navy now. with 5i.l5l enlisted
men, as the Secretary said, is AT the
maximum strength allowed in this re-
spect, but naval men point TO the trip
OF the Wisconsin, the Iowa and the
Missouri as evidence that this num-
Der is by no means sufficient 10 put
the navy in condition TO fight.
twenty-five thousand more men are
needed. they say. and no better testi-
mony 10 this could be found. in their
opinion, than the trip Of the three
vessels from League Island TO An
napolis with barely enough men aboard
10 prevent disaster in calm weather.

"The guard Is now composed OF SLIM

II is unfortunate that ridicule keeps
so many men away from our ranks
The national guard in this state has

Army Officers Silent on Raid.
Every member Of the national guard

Obregon's Control Over
Troops Fast Slipping

FL Paso. Tex. May While the de-
velopments of the conference to-day
between Generals Scott and 0bregon
were kept secret il was indicated they
had discussed the course they would
pursue in the event another punitive
expeditionary force entered Mexico.
Later a Mexican Official stated that all
efforts would be made 20 prevent the
radical element from precipitating a
clash between the government forces
and the Americans in case OF their
crossing the river. His attitude, he eX-
planned, was not 10 offer opposition TO
a second entry other than by protest
and in the end 10 endeavor 10 adjust
the new move by the standing Cen
erals Scott and Obregon have tried to
apply to the first.
1t became known to-day that Cen
eral Obregon is having increasing diff
ficulty in retaining the local coopera-
ton Of some Of his men in the tenta-
tive agreement he has entered into with
the American staff. From General
Pershing's column there came'also the
news that there is an increasing num-
Der of CsrranZa assertions to Villa
leaders, in some cases small detach-
ments Of Carranza troops passing in
a body TO Villas organization.
Strengthened by these deserters,
Villas men in Chihuahua were reported
to be gathering in greater force than
ever in front of General Pershing's
columns. No disposition to doubt Gen
eral Pershing's ability to care for him
self WAS evident at headquarters here.

ficials here expect between $50 and 400
soldiers will be modified.
The ease with which bandits may raid
certein sections OF the border. army
officers point out. is illustrated in the
Texas inroads. Conditions at Glenn
SPRINGS, il is declared, are duplicated
at many other points all along the line
where small groups of soldiers are pro-
tecting frontier property and dong
patrol duty. IL is also pointed out that
the raiders entered the United States
from Coahuila, the native state OF
Carranza. where he has maintained ms
control has been almost unchallenged'
The Carranza government has oern
insisting that only IN Chihuahua ana
Sonora are bandits active.
The protocol under negotiation with
the de facto government covers the en-
tire boundary, and any provisions
wouId affect the chase Of the
bandits which raided the Big Bend
region.
villa May Have Taken Part.
Army officers here think It possible
that Villa may have taken part IN the
Big Bend raids. although they regard
il as hardly probable. Unconhrmed
rumors have been received for some
time that Villa had escaped eastward
from Parral and that large band
of outlaws was proceeding toward Oil
maya. a few miles west of the scene OF
the new raids.
That the renewed raiding may con-
siderably proiong the stay OF Amerl-
can forces in Mexico is recognized. 1t
ia not believed that it will materi-
ally affect the present disposition OF
General Pershing's Chihuahua cam
paign, though some Of the troops now
with Pershing may be drawn on for
any new expedition in pursuit OF the
Big Bend outlaws.
General Funston has suggested
changing the base OF the whole Mexi-
can movement from Columbus to Pre-
sdio, opposite Ojinsga, to shorten the
line Of communication in Chihuahua.
This plan may now be renewed TO

Mayor Tom Lee. who just now out in
the street slid his car into the pave

in words that are not nice 10 quote.
Already he had made it known that on
the day General Pershing's orders 10
withdraw should be issued he would
order all American flags in the city TO
be half-masted.
Only the mood OF General Scott him
self remains inscrutable. How General
Funston feels needs not even foot

widespread satisfaction that our bIoOFs
in Texas are under his immediate COM
