that he regards the Carranza govern

VILLA NEARING THE END
y Associated Press

Chihuahua City, chihuahua, Mex
leo, Jan. 14..-General Francisco Villa
has only forty men with him in the
Guerrero district, according to Cen
eral Jacinto TreVino, commander of
the northeastern corps of the Car
rama army. This information was
given out by him here to-day.
Lieut.. Col. Nevarres, a Villa officer,
who was captured at Santa Ysabel
to-day and charged With being con-
cerned in the massacre at that point
last Monday, was being brought to the
capital tonight, according to Cen
eral Trevino
There was no truth in El Paso re-
ports of further killing of foreigners
in western Chihuahua, according to
General Trevino. The Carranza COM
mander declared that the Americans
slain Monday at Santa Ysabel had re-
fused a military escort.
Generals Argumedo and Cantreras
are not operating between Torreon
vino, they have taken to the hills
of Durango.
ViIIastas Surrender
"I shall leave next week to pursue
them" he added. More than 14,5O0
Villa soldiers and forty-two generals
and their subordinate officers have
surrendered and received amnesty at
days and given up their arms. horses
and saddles.
'I regret that a number of Ameri-
cans have decided to go out and
hope they will soon return. | shall
provide escort for such movements.
"It was impossible to foresee the
sudden appearance of those bandits,
but Mr.. Watson, heading the mining
men on the train, probably thought
he would be better off without the
military escort which he refused.
"I have done everything possible
TO help friends get the bodies to the
border. From military point of
view. / consider the campaign in Chi
huahua State finished and there are
only various small bands, aggregatinR
about thirty in all, left.
Trustworthy advices say that Villa
has but forty men left with him. AS
the law of Benito Juarez permits any
official toy execute outlaws caught red
handed without trial. the bandits will
soon be eXterminated
This law has applied already to
the so-called Generals Rodriguez and
Almeida.
THE report that the Villa forces
have taken Escalon is untrue"

Sensational Debate Over
Intervention Resolution

Washington, D. c.. Jan. Is. - An
other demand was voiced in the SEN
ate yesterday for intervention in
Mexico. Senator Works of California
who usually is an advocate of peace,
presented a resolution directing the
President to intervene and set up a
stable Government.
The debate which followed was SEN
sational. Senator Stone, chairman of
the Foreign Relations Committee, i'm
patient with Senators who talked for
intervention, suggested there were "a
few people whose blood has become
heated and whose brains have become
diseased by the fever of war"
Senator Fall, of New Mexico, Re-
publican. intimated broadly that Gen.
Huerta who died Thursday. was in
hell, whereat several Senators ap-
peared shocked.
Senator Fall made the charges thai
the American forces at Vera Cruz
were forced to withdraw at the de-
mand of Gen. Carranza. and at the
point of a gun. He predicted that
when the President sent to the Senate
the correspondence and data called
for in his resolution they would show
that the marines went to Vera Cruz
carrying with them their death war
rants" because of the orders that
were issued to them by the navy
authorities.

New Edison Batteries
We're Being Installed

Washington, Jan. IL. The subma-
rine E-2 was at the New York navy
yard having installed the new batter
les which Thomas A. Edison has de-
veloped for the United States navy
She was the first submarine being so
equipped.
Ten men were known to be aboard
the E-2 when the explosion occurred
Two injured men have been taken out
A preliminary report to the Navy De-
partment gave these facts and added
that the cause of the explosion was
unknown. The E-2 was in dry dock.
The accident to the E-2 is the Sec
ond submarine tragedy of the Ameri-
can navy Which has been notably free
from losses to its submersibles. The
first and most serious submarine dis
aster was the loss OF the F-4 in Homo
lulu harbor last March with the loss of
twenty men--all the ships company.
A corroded battery lining and poor
diving qualities of the boat were held
responsible by a board of investiga-
tion. All the submarines of the T.
type were soon afterward brought
home for remodeling, which now is in
progress. The boats of the f type are
one class older than the E-2.

u. S. Needs an Army of
200, 900 to Pacify Mexico
Special to the Telegraph

Washington, d. c.. Jan. 10. - In
spite of the many disastrous changes
Mexico has undergone since the
overthrow of the Diaz regime, military
experts of the United States, who are
studying the problem insist that the
pacification of the country could not
be accomplished satisfactorily with
less than 100000 men, at a cost of
many millions.
Although warfare has Impoverished
the southern republic, 1t has brought
to the people certain military ad-
vantages which can be obtained only
through experience. The men who
have been engaged in revolutionary
activity are veterans in their peculiar
kind of warfare. They know the
country in which the fighting would
be done. They have adapted them
selves to the rigors of the field. Their
losses in resources are probably more
than offset by what they have gained
in military experience.
For this reason American army off,
GERS who have come in contact with
them on the border are of the opinion
that the Mexican soldier of to-day is
much more formidable as a fighting
unit than he was five years ago, or
before the revolution began
