SAN ANTONIO. Tex. April 3.-Specu-
lation regarding the attitude of Car
rama troops in the state of Chihuahua
divided interest in military circles to-
day with conjecture as to the present
whereabouts of Villa. Official informa-
tion is lacking on both questions If
Villa has escaped from the Guerrero
district and is pushing south toward
Durango. where he has many SYM
pathizers. the difficulties of Gen. Perish
ing's problems have been increased
greatly. Since the fight at Guerrero
last Wednesday. IN which the Villa
force was routed, the American troops
have been engaged in making a
thorough search for the bandit in the
sourfounding country.
1t was predicted by some of the Of
ficers at Gen. Funston's headquarters
that the next news from Pershine will
tell that his cavalry columns are mor-
ing southwark from Guerrero in an ef-
fort to pick up the trail of the fugitive.
Gen. Funston has received messages
bearing on the activities of Carranza
troops. but these were not made public.
However, it was indicated at headquar-
tiers that their cooperation has not
been active.

Task Becoming More Difficult.
The absence of any official nows from
the front since the defeat of the Villa
hand near Guerrero by Col. Dodd last
Wednesday has considerably dashed
tho hopes of those who saw in the
victory the beginning Of the end of
the bandits career. At the same time
It is pointed out that the American
cayalrymen have a formidable task be-
fore them in searching the barren
mountain wastes where Villa is sup
posed to have taken refuge. The faes
that no further fighting has been Re-
ported Is taken as an indication that
the bandits have been effectually scat
tered by the American troopers.
As usual. in the lack of definite in
formation, the border is again hive
of rumors of an alarming and sensa-
tional character. The majority of these
rumors are based on stories brought
from the interior by Mexicans and the
few Americans who straggle in here
by ones and twos daily. The most cir
cumstantial of these stories at pres
ent deals with the reported detection
Of Col. Camo. the Carranza commander
at Namiquipa-
Cano Herrera's Chief Lieutenant.
Cano is the chief lieutenant Of Gen.
Luiz Herrera, who was supposed to
have declared against Carranza sev-
eral days ago. a report that was Wig
orously denied by the officials Of the
de facto government.
The main facts in support Of Cano's
revolt are that he has not been heard
from for more than a week and that he
is known to have expressed strong
sentiments on several
occasions Like Herrera, Cano has
been a bitter enemy Of Villa, and it is
not supposed that II he has deserted
the standard of the firsr chief he has
doined the fugitive bandit. but that he
has simply declared himself against
any cooperation with tho soldiers Of
the United States.
A good deal Of Significance Is attach
ed to the fact that while Gen: Gavira
convinced of Cano's loyalty. they ad-
NIT that they have had no communica-
ton from him or from his immediate
superior, Gen. Bertani. for some time.
Up to a week ago Gen. Gavira claimed
that he was in receipt Of daily tele-
9rams from both Bertani and Cano.
Border Troop Movements Mysterious
There is something of a mystery
attached to the movement of Mexican
troops at points close to the border.
It Is known that large bodies of Car
,anxa.s soldiers have been moved from
.amps in the interior to various places
within twenty miles Of the inter-
rational line. but no explanation has
,een given of these maneuvers beyond
, general intimation that the de facto
is anticipating possible
action by the followers of Felix Diaz.
rbo is now considered the head of the
.ientifico party.
Most of the stories brought from the
Interior are contradictory, especially
hose from Mexican sources. American
.efugees agree generally in describing,
conditions As alarming. but they In
,ariably refuse to be quoted ON the.
rround that they expect to return to

Long and Dogged Chase
of Villa Is Now Feared
by Some Army Officers

News regarding the operation Of the
United States forces in Mexico was
awaited with intense interest in Official
circles today.
Messages of only q routine character
have reached the War Department from
the border since the Official report of
the route Of the main column of Villas
outlaws by Dodd's cavalry and the in
formation that the elusive bandit chief
tain himself was said to be seriously
wounded and in hiding.
While the early capture of Villa is
looked for in Official quarters, some
army officers fear that failure to take
him at the Guerrero 6ght may result in
long and dogged chase.
No Trace, Of Felix Diaz.
Latest reports from commanders of
warships in Mexican waters say that
no trace of Felix Diaz. reported to be
in Mexico at the head Of a new revo-
luton. had been found. The protocol
with the Carranza government. de-
signed to cover all questions relating
to the hunt for Villa, is expected to be
concluded during the week.
Reports that Col. Cano had deserted
Gen. Carranza and Joined Villas ban
Qlt IOFCeS with MS CoIiHiduu, OF part
of 1t, were credited today by officials
of the State and War departments. and
it was stated author,tatively that while
onicial intimations that Cano had re-

Four Brigades Used a: Vaux.

-Four fresh brigades participated in

occupation of the village of Vaux. tc
the northeast of Verdun, says an eye
witness of the battle. The assault be-
gan with a night attack which is be-
coming more and more preferred by
the Germans. All Friday evening the
village and its surroundings were CO.
piously shelled.
The attack began from the north at
3 o'clock in the morning by a brigade
debouching from trenches on the hill
side east of Fort Douaumont and ad-
vancing as far as the railroad line in
front of the advanced French position,
where it was checked by French in
fantry and barring fire which was so
intense that the assailants were un-
able to hold their ground. They re-
tired to their trenches much depleted
in numbers.

with an abundant supply of powerful
grenades that demolished the houses

Though partly buried under the ruins,
the French stuck stubbornly to their
posts. which they resigned only step
by step, and inflicted severe losses on
the attacking force.

New Phase Of Battle.

A new phase of the battle Of Ferdun
has begun and the belief prevails that
the violence of the latest attacks fore
shadows another attempt by the Ger
mans to rush the fortress with vast
forces. New batteries Of large caliber
have been moved up closer to the
French front and the German infantry
has been rested and reorganized.
Yesterdays fighting on the whole was
not unfavorable to the French, it is
authoritatively stated. The object of
the Germans was to clear the ap-
proaches to Fort Douaumont. and 15,-
900 men Were thrown forward on the
mile and a half line between Douau-
mont fort and the village of Vaux.
The attacking force succeeded in cross
ing a little ravine which hitherto had
stopped them and in entering the Call
lette wood
