Ell Paso, March 25.-General Gavira
at Juarez stated shortly before noon
today that American cavalry under
Col. George Dodd had located Villa
and his main force in the Santa Clara
canyon. The United States troops
were close upon Villas rear guard,
according to Gavira.
Gavira's statement aroused hopes
that the pursuers might close in on
the outlaw and bring the man hunt to
a sudden, successful close.
Villa had 200 followers with him,
Gavira stated.
The bandits were located about 80
miles from the western entrance to
the canyon, which is a short distance
east of Namiquipa and in wild dis
trict without roads or trails.
villa Forces Scattered.
Villa has scattered his forces. A
small number of his men may be sur
rounded in the Namiquipa district
from which reports persistently come
that the American expedition is clos
ing in on the bandit Another group
of Villistas are operating near Janos,
north of the American base in Mexico.
Reports of Nillistas again crossing
the border into New Mexico and kill
ing three Americans were unconflrmed
and uncredited here.
Another band of Villistas was be
lieVed to have been connected with the
wreck of an American troop train
south OF Casas Grandes on the Mexico
Northwestern line, now in General
Pershing's hands. The engine and
several cars of cavalry reinforcements
for Namiquipa were overturned near
the Cumbres tunnel. There were no
fatalities among the soldiers but a
number of cavalry horses were in
jured and had to be shot. The re-
mainder of the journey was made
overland.
Herrera to ParraI.
General Luis Herrera, whose ru-
mored revolt to Villa proved to be
unfounded, again became the center of
conflicting reports early today With
1000 Carranzista soldiers, Herrera
was reported enroute to Parral His
known anti-Americanism lead some to
believe Herrera would not cooperate
in the pursuit of Villa.
Carranzista authorities, on the 9TH
er hand. said that Herrera's coIum \
was sent into Southern Chihuahua to
catch Villa, if the outlaw cut through
the line of Carranzista troops between
Chihuahua City and MADEIRA
NilIistas Cut Wires.
Mexican Consul Garcia, who Thurs
day night reported Villa surrounded
near FL Oso and fighting with Ameri-

Underwriters WORRY
Submarine Activity Is Cause of Anx-

London. March 25.-Recurrence of
submarine activity is causing increas-
ing worry among shippers and under
writer's although the insurance market
has held steady since the fixing of the
government rate of one per cent which
has not been raised.
Most Atlantic voyages are insured
under this arrangement but east coast
and North sea insurance are increas-
ngly difficult to effect.
Mediterranean voyages are still very
stiff at four per cent. The fact that
most of the announcements fail to give
the positions of boats which have been
torpedoed adds to the uncertainty of
the market
