Flames mounting high in the air sum

Broadway. Showers of sparks swirled
about the doors and windows OF the
Buckingham Hotel, across the way;
smoke seeped into the Union Club.
One Fireman Rescued.
One fireman was overcome by smoke
mixed with illuminating gas, and was

FL Paso, Tex, April 5.-Villa ban
dts, led by Pancho Villa himself,
have been defeated and routed near
Satevo, in the central Benito Juarez
district, by Carranza troops under
General Jose Cavazos, according to
an official report tonight to General
Gabriel Gavira in Juarez from Gen
eral Cavazos.
General Cavazos says Villa un-
Questionably was with the band OF
more than one hundred Villistas, but
did not take part in the battle, the
whole band dispensing and scattering
after a short engagement in which
the Villistas lost ten men killed and
several wounded who were carried off
by their comrades. General Cavazos
thinks Villa left with portion of the
band, which went to the south, and
his dispatch tonight says he Wa
pursuing that detachment and ex-
pected TO overtake it before morning
No mention was made in the dis
patch of Villa being wounded, and it
was indicated that while Csvazos had
every reason TO believe Villa was in
the band he was not seen by the Car
rama leader.
Americans May Be in Chase.
American cavalry which was al
Cushuiriachic yesterday is believed TO
have moved toward Satevo to-day on
reports from Mexican sources that Villa
was seen near there yesterday, and It
is believed the Americans now are pur-
suing the band routed by Cavazos's
men.
Villa bandits are being heavily re-
cruited from -mong the Mexican ranch
ers in the vicinity Of Chihuahua City
abandoning their homes to join the
bandit leader. This information was
received here tonight from American
sources in Chihuahua. and is regarded
as reliable. The advices say anti
American sentiment has been stirred UP
among the ranchers by Villa agents
and that hundreds of them, some from
within a few miles of the city OF
chihuahua, are joining the Villa move
ment.
Two Villa Chiefs Slain.
Two of Villas chief bandits have
been killed in battles with Carranza
soldiers, according TO a telegram re
ceived to-day by General Gavirs II
Juarez from General Gutierrez at Chi
huahua. The dispatch, after reiterat
ing that Villa was wounded BY Car
ranzistas at Guerrero, says Elfegc
Hernandez and Roman Teranzo. lead
ers Of Villa bands in the Guerrero
country, both were killed and their
bodies found by Carranza soldiers. II

General Gutierrez says, that Pablo

attack on the party of eighteen Ameri'
can mining men at Santa Isabel, was
killed, presumably by American
soldiers. following the Guerrero battle
and his command Of goo bandits is now

Twenty Villa bandits, led by julio
Acosta, still are in the hills near Guer

CroWnPrince's F Orces
Pause After Check
at DOuaumOnt.
FRENCH INCREASE
CAILLETTE GAIN
Drive Enemy Further Back
Northeast of Fortress
Guns Renew Duel.
iBy Cable TO Tho Thine.

London, April 5.-Agaln the Jury
of the Verdun assault has spent it
self and the Germans have been
forced to pause and recuperate from
their losses. Except for an intermit-
tent cannonade in the Douaumont-
Vaux sector, fighting has been prac-
tically suspended. The French claim
only the capture of communication
trench in the Caillette wood.
But that it is anything more than
pause the French dare not yet
hope. Even as the tired troops rest
after the terrific strain of the last
week. they must be alert against a
surprise or new attempt to over
whelm their defence.
Both the Germans and the French
are utilizing the opportunity to
strengthen their lines and to rush up
much-needed supplies. In the close
hand-to-hand fighting the wounded
have been greater than in almost any
week since the attack began six
weeks ago.
Although the Germans have adopt
ed the most extraordinary measures
ia an attempt to conceal their losses,
they have deceived no one except pos
sibly themselves. Certainly, they
have not deceived the French, who
have been able to calculate not only
the number, but the disposition of
the attacking troops.
Berlin Claims French Repulses.
While Paris reports a general
quiet about the fortress, Berlin re-
counts the repulse of several French
counter attacks. Thus, an attempt
to take the hill northeast of Harcourt
was frustrated, the Germans say,
while in the Caillette wood enemy
attacks also broke down. The state
ment says:
"On the left bank of the Meuse the
French were prevented By the Ger
mans from again occupying the hill
northeast of Haucourt
"In the Fort Douaumont sector yes
terday repeated counter attacks OF the
enemy broke down before the German
line southwest of the fort and in front
of the German positions in the north
part of the Caillette wood"
The night statement of the Paris
War Office is as follows:
West of the Meuse the day was
calm. To the east there was an inter-
mittent cannonade in the Douaumont-
vaux sector. No infantry action oc-
Cured in the region of Verdun.
Artillery Active in Argonne.
an the Argonne our artillery contin-
ued to direct concentrated fires on the
lines and lines OF communication on
the enemy's front, especially in the
region of Montfaucon and the Malan-
court wood.
"North Of the Aisne our artillery
was active between the Beau-Marais
wood. south of Craonne. and Berry-au-
Bsc"
An earlier statement recounted some
what greater activity:
1n the Argonnc there has been a
combat with hand grenades in the sec
tor between Bolsnte and File Morte.
We caused the explosion of two mines,
which damaged an enemy trench.

Wireless Apparatus Destroyed.

"The firemen and engineers went to
their stations after having stopped the
mort engine and closed the draugnt
mates Of the furnaces. Al the same
time the wireless operator tried 10 SEND

cations Discussed at Sessions
of the Council.

appropriations to poor churches in the
south is a question receiving the at
tention of delegates attending the
council of Seventh- day Adventists now
in session at Takoma Park.
Elder G. 3. Thompson, secretary of
the conference, said that he has re-
celved numerous requests from con-
ferences in the south for financial
assistance. He advocated the continu-
ance of such appropriations.

the fact that fifteen cities have offered
Inducements to bring the convention
there. The cities that are anxious for
this session, which would bring 5000
visitors from all parts of the world for
stay of at least twenty-one days, are
Los Angeles, San Francisco, Omaha,
