 SAN ANTONIO, March 2G-Francis- co Villa has escaped from the Mexican troops that had checked him near Namiouipa and three columns of American cavalry are pursuing him. The American troops are almost 25O miles south of the border. This infOr- nation was contained in a detailed re- port by General Pershing that reached General Funston here today.
 General Funston forwarded the re- port to Washington without making public any but the essential features.
 Colonel Dodd is commanding the ad- vanced columns that are riding hard after Villa and his men, and General Pershing has divided his forces so as to provide supporting columns along the thinly stretched line of communi- cation from hs most advanced base at Fl Valle.
 From Fl Nalle another line is being maintained back to CaSaS GrandeS from where communication with the border is maintained.
 General Pershing himself is some where south of Casas GrandeS directing the work of holding together his forces, and directing, so far as possible, the operations of Colonel Dodd. Cavalry is being used along the lines cOmmuni-

MARSEILLES. March 26.-The British liner Minneapolis was sunk in the Mediterranean last Wednesday by a submarine, according to Captain Bibby of the British steamer Leices- tershire, which has arrived here from Rangoon.
 Captain Bibby reports that while in the Mediterranean last Wednes- day, he received wireless call for help from the Minneapolis which said that the steamer had just been tor pedoed and was sinking.
 The Leicestershire went at full speed to the assistance of the Min neapolis, but arrived too late, the vessel having sunk The fate of the crew was not known to Captain Bibby.
 The Minneapolis was a steamer of 13,543 tons gross. She was built in 1900 at Belfast and was owned by the Atlantic Transport Company Late shipping records do not give the movements of the vessel which probably was in the British govern ment service.
 The Minneapolis, after the Minne- waska, was the largest of the Min nie" steamers in the Atlantic trans port line fleet She was built ir 1900 and carried passengers as wei as freight. The steamer was a pop ular one with the ocean-going public

of the Sierra Tarahumares, is inereas- ing his band by force according to army reports today The bandit chief tain seized thirty-five young men and boys in Fl Valle, 65 miles south of here, and forced them to accompany his col umn. Half of the constitutionalist gar rison at Namiquipa, about sixty miles south of here, has disappeared and it is suspected that some of them, at least, also have joined Villa
 Utmost haste is being made in the flight toward the mountains which Villa is nearing rapidly, neither men nor horses being spared. It is known that he is practically without supplies and ammunition and it is reported that he is attempting to reach a neighbor- hood where he has ammunition cached in three places.
 Peons in the district through which
 he has passed recently say that his men are ravenously hungry and are prac-
 tlcally in state of starvation. Dead
 and dying horses discarded in the
 flight are found almost daily by the American troops, eight being discoy- cred today.
 l The haste which the bandit is mak-
 ing in his flight would indicate that
 the American forces are close on his l heels, but General J. J. Pershing, expe-
 ditionary commander, who returned to-
 day from two days inspection trip of
 troops iii the field, says that reports that Villa is surrounded are premature.

HEADQUARTERS OF THE AMER ICAN PUNITIVE EXPEDITIONARY FORCES. COLONIA DUBLAN, Mex. March 26. (Wireless to Columbus. N, M)-Brigadier General J. J. Persh- ing, commanding the American troops pursuing Villa, today complimented the stamina and the spirit of the troops comprising the eXpeditionary force General Pershing made the statement in his headquarters tent the tent over which have swept sting ing dust storms, bitter sleet and burn ing winds, all of which the United States troops in the field have faced in rapid succession.
 No similar body of any army would have arrived in better condition under the circumstances, he said. The ser vice encountered by the command in cluded some exceedingly long marches by the cavalry and wide stretches of desert covered by the infantry and | artillery.
 The march of concentration at the | first base is not believed here to have l been equalled by any command of [ this size in recent years. And through l it all the morale of the troops has
 been excellent. The spirit of the con-
 mand is shown by the eagerness
 which the men have manifested ir pushing forward through the heat o
 bare plateau, the fury of Mexican dust storms and the bitter cold of noun tain attitudes.

eating with Fl Valle, where a detach ment of infantry is stationed
 Three aeroplanes are at Fl Valle and will be used in scouting as in the high winds that have been sweeping that part of Mexico for almost a week sub sided which according to General Per Shing have made effective assistance by them impossible. Of the eight ma chimes that went into Mexico two are still out of commission. They were damaged in the flights from Columbus to Casas Grandes.
 Details of the operations about Namiquipa that concluded with the escape of Villa were not revealed but there is little reason to believe that he was even weakened by the fighting directed against him by the de facto government troops. Reports last week from Mexican sources indicated that he had been severely defeated. No Amer jeans were engaged, and the fact that Villa made his way through what was described as an encircling line of Mex lcan troops was taken to indicate that he was the victor.
 Unless fresh Mexican forces are sent to meet Villa troops there are no req sons why he should not make his way uninterrupted into the mountains of the Guerrero district towards which he appears to be moving.

 FL PASO, March 26.-Interest in the Mexican situation shifted today, tenn porarily, at least from Northern Chi huahua to Durango and Coahulla, where the Villaistas appear to be gath ering strength to such an extent that Torreon is seHously threatened.
 There has been no direct news from Torreon received here for two days, but dispatches from Monterey report an extremely grave situation. The re- maining women and children of the American colony at Torreon, sent out of that city by the British vice consul, Patrick O'Hea who mas taken charge of American interests following the de- parture of the United States consul, have arrived at Monterey.
 There were four in number and brought a story of conditions of anar- chy existing in the district between Torreon and Monterey. A box car was all the accommodation they could get and almost throughout the entire jour ney they were subjected to a running fire from bands of mounted Villistas, who raced alongside the train exchang- ing volleys with the CarranZa guards supplied by General Ignacio Ramos The women and children crOuched be- tween a double barricade of trunks which protected them from the bullets which pierced the wooden sides of the car.

PARIS, March .26., (midnighD- There is no matter of doubt whatever that the Channel steamship Sussex was torpedoed without warning" says an official statement issued here to- night, based on affidavits made by American survivors.
 John Hurley. Albany, N. Y., a press assOssiatiOn correspondent, makes the following statement:
 "On Friday about 3 o'clock in the af- ternoon, while dozen Americans were watching from the bridge a great ex- plosion occurred in the fore part of the vessel without warning and three Americans, at least. saw the passing of the torpedo"
 w. J. Culbertson says that he saw Miss Baldwin on the deck. wounded in the head. Samuel Bemis of Harvard University said the explosion occurred without the slightest warning and that many persons were thrown into the sea; that some were killed and some wounded; that he saw bodies on the bridge of the Sussex and that while being rescued, he saw two persons drown.
 These dispositions are confirmed by the American men and American wo- men who took passage aboard the Sus- sex and whose names follow: John Hurley, Albany, N.

Republican A. p. Leased Wire1


 COLUMBUS, N. NJ. March 26-A speedy termination of the American expedition into Mexico is not looked for by General J. J. Pershing, com manding the forces in the field ac- cording to advices received here to- day.
 It was asserted that, following a staff conference, General Pershing announced that the people of the United States should not place too much confidence in reports that Fran cisco Villa, the factional leader, whose command attacked this town several weeks ago, has been bottled up, either by the American forces, or by Mexican troops. The nature of the country in the vicinity of Nam iquipa, where Villa is supposed to be, it was pointed out, renders it diff I cult for any force to surround eff fectually a small band, in the moun- tain passes and almost imperceptible trails offering means of escape. While it was understood that Cen l eral Pershing does not attempt to predict the length of time Ameri- can troops may be in Mexican terri | tory it was intimated that the per l iod may extend into months. 1 Other reports also received today 1 from unofficial sources indicated that | with (deleted) troops in the field, American military authorities believ- l ed a sufficient number of men of all arms of the service have been con- centrated at La Ascension, Casas | Grandes, COlonia Dublan and other American field points to meet the ex- igencies of any emergency that may | 9riSe Several thousand negro in | fantrymen and two squadrons of 1 cavalry, have arrived here from Forts D.

It spread quickly to a stairway lead ing to the first floor and rapidly com municated to the other two floors above. About fifteen guests asleep in the building had narrow escapes, many jumping from the second story windows, so quick was the spread Of the flames.
 Mrs. Stewart who was spending her first night at the club as the guest of Mrs. Cora ogden. had escaped from the burning building but with Homer Jones started back to rescue Judge Webb. whose hearing was affected and who they feared, would not hear the alarm.

 Judge Webb was prominent mem- her of the bar.
 Mrs. Stewart was the wife of Maco Stewart. president of the Title Guar anty Company of Texas, whose home was in Galveston. She came here for weeks visit with friends
 The flames were discovered by the steward of the club, who went into the grill shortly after number ol guests had left the first floor fol their apartments upstairs. The stew ard attempted to quench the flames with fire extinguishers. This proved insufficient, so he summoned the guests who still were awake and who aided in alarming the others in the building.
 4 number of the guests at the clut escaped by jumping from the veranda roof
 The club and it's contents were val ued at $45.0O0 with $35,OOO insurance

 LOS ANGELES, March 26.-Practi- cal instruction in flying was made pos sible for the members of the aeronauti- cal section of the Second Battalion, California State Naval Militia, when a biplane was presented to the corps to- day. The thirty-two prospective pilots and mechanicians. who comprise the section, assembled at the Griffith Park Aviation Field here. to receive the ma chine, which was gift from Glenn Martin, a local aviator. The biplane will be used for primary instruction in aeronautics and a larger military aero- plane which has been loaned for the purpose will be used for the advanced training. Heretofore the members ot the section have had little actual in- struction in aeronautics, their only aerial equipment having been an anti quated aero engine.
