Pershing Reports that De Fac to Troops Actively Engaged Part of Bandit Band. Doubt Dispelled by Information.

WASHINGTON, April 3.-Evidence of cooperation by Carranza troops with the American forces hunting Villa. apparently disposing finally the rumors that Col. Cano and his com mand had deserted to Villa. came to the War Department late today from General Pershing He reported an en- gagement on March %. presumably near Guerrero, between Cano's troops and one of the bands into which Col. Dodd scattered the main Villa force. As this clash. in which Manuel Baca, leader of tEe outlaws, is said to have been killed, occurred on the same day that Col. Dodd struck the Villa army, officials were convinced that the CarranZa columns were sc- lively cooperating with the Americans.
 This seems to dispose. finally. of the rumor of disloyalty on the part of Col. Cano." Secretary Bakes said in a formal statement. Previous re ports had caused officials to doubt Cano's loyalty. and General Pershing's dispatch was received with great sat isfaction.
 The fact that three days elapsed after the AS hour old report of Col. Dodds engagement before news came of the Cano fight. renewed hopes that important subsequent engagements had not yet been reported to head quarters.
 That some supplies and forage for the cavalry. even if of poor quality were being obtained of the country" by General Pershing's forces, was an- other encouraging feature of the lat este report. The general said corn of inferior quality was plentiful and that beef cattle in sufficient quantity had been secured.
 The American cOusul at Monterey advised the State Department that ex- citement there following the Columbus massacre and the entrance of Ameri- can troops into Mexico had completely subsided. Friendly relations between

 East of the Mouse. around Vaux, there has been considerable fighting between the French and Germans, in which the French were victorious in driving back the Teutons to the north ern outskirt of the Caffeine wood. and in reoccupying the western part of the village of VauX. which they had pre- viously evacuated.
 The occupation by the Germans of the Haucourt- -Bethincourt front follow ed a vigorous attack in which the Ger mans met no foe. the French having evacuated their positions at night without the Germans observing the movement. From their new positions south of the Forges brook and at Beth incourt, the French poured a direct and fianking fire into the attacking Germans, who suffered heavy casual ties.

It is said to have been brought there oy passengers arriving from Nacozari this morning.

According 10 company sources, about one-quarter of the employees have now returned to Mexico.

SAN ANTONIO. April 3.-The belief at army headquarters that Villa had escaped from the region in which Gen eral Pershing's cavalry columns are perating became a certainty by the close of the day. No report from Mex ico stated that he had disappeared. but all information secured indicated that he was gone.
 General Pershing's report, received afte noon, contained the news that at least a part of the dispersed Villa force that was driven from Guerrero March 29 still was moving in the dis mention Of Villas whereabouts was made. The report was dated yester- day. Six columns of cavalry were yet riding in the hills and plains in that section while scouts were endeavoring to pick up the trail of the scattered bands, as well as that of their fugitive chief
 One force of Villas men, estimated at 100. commanded by Col. Beltram. was located near Bacineva. about y5 miles northeast of Guerrero, and in- formation was gathered that indicated that of the four or five hundred still were in that region. No reference was made in that report Of any encounter that was mentioned in press dispatch es from the front
 Information gathered from sources and confirmed by General Pershing in dicated that the intelligence officers of the punitive force were having to contend with difficulties created by the receipt of transformation Iiberally supplied in districts which Villa or his followers had passed.
 General Pershing also reported that the difficulty in securing reliable guides. His statement that it had been reported to him that Col Cano had engaged Villa force in a fight some days ago served to quiet. some what. the fear that had arisen here that Cano had revolted. a report that we'll founded
 Which way Villa has gone is now largely a question for General Persh- ing's scouts to answer. IL was pointed out al General Funston's headquarters that once the trail was picked out, the troops would resume the chase of the bandit into the interior. althO il was pointed out that the second phase of the punitive expeditions work will be far more difficult than the first
 The topography of the country. south of Guerrero, is such that successful pursuit can be conducted only by a wide deploying of forces and the utili- zation of large part of the infantry. lt was pointed out that the further the troops penetrate into Mexico, the great er will be the necessity for strength ening the lines of communication.
