have demanded the shortening OF tho
American troop line and gradual evac-
uation OF Mexican territory by tho
United States army, Americans coming
to the border from Mexico report
Officials Mystified.
WASHINGTON. Oct 26.--Official
reports received here showing that
members OF the Carranza. Obregon,
Trevino, Puerta and Madero families
are now in San Antonio Texas, have
puzzled observers seeking an explana-
tion OF the gathering in the United
States OF non-combatant Mexicans. The
reports do not explain their presence.
Some officials believe, however, eco-
nonic and social conditions generally
in Mexico are such as to make 'Mexi-
cans of the wealthy class anxious to
get their women folk out of the coun-
try for the present The dispatches in-
dicate that most Of the women have
come recently from Mexico.
Nothing About CauanIa.
The state department has not re.
oeived, so far as is known, any offi-
c,al reports bearing out the charges OF
General Carranla's political enemies
tina, his grip is relaxing and that hs
is preparing to leave Mexico. Tho
exodus to San Antonio has been used
to support this view but high officials
have seen nothing showing such move
ment is to be expected
De Facto Troops Helpless.
Military experts are frankly pessi-
mistic of the result OF the Carran,A
campaign against the bandits. They
think de fac,o troops have little chance
to destroy the brigands because they
have no transport trains and supply
systems which would permit them to
chase the outlaws into the barren hill
country.
Guardsmen Must Remain.
Nillistas' activity had the effect
today of convincing officials here that
no thought should be given soon TO re-
mova of guardSmen from border pa
troll duty or withdrawal OF General
Pershng's column from Mexico. Fear
was felt that If Villa should succeed in
his apparent movement to capture Chi
huahua he might find II easy to get
control later OF nearly all northern
Mexico
Situation More Serious.
The entire Mexican situation was
regarded as more serious than for
many months
Conditions at Chihuahua were the
subject of greatly conflicting reports.
Mexican Ambassador Arredondo re-
ceived from Consul Garcia at FL Paso
denial from General Trevino, Car
rama commander at chihuahua. that
he is short OF ammunition or intends
to evacuate the city. Carranna losses
in the fight with Nillistas at Santa
YSabel had been slight. he said. and
