CAVALRY KILLS
~ VILLISTAS.
Dawn SurpriseResults
in Rout of Large
Outlaw Band.

Headquarters Of General Pershing,
near Namiquipa, May (by wireless
TO Columbus. n. M).-Forty-two villa
bandits killed and large number
wounded is the latest toll of the Amer
lean cavalry's "dawn surprises" Not
ono American was scratched.
At the end Of an all-night ride, over
rough mesa land and through rougher
mountain trails, full squadron of 25O
troopers Of the 18th Cavalry fell at
dawn yesterday upon a much larger
band Of Villistas near Ojo Azules'
seventeen miles south Of Cushihuiria-
chic
It was a cavalry charge with pistols
the first in the Mexican campaign, in
which the superior shooting, riding and
staying qualities Of the Americans sent
the bandits fleeing, every man for HIM
self, in all directions, each spurred to
his utmost by the presence Of cavalry
man at hig heels.
The squadron was commanded by
Major Robert l.. Howe, leader Of the
fight at San Francisco Borja, who re-
ports TO General Pershng that General
Antonio Angeles, relative of Felipe
Angeles, the former confidant Of Villa,
who was once mentioned for the Presi-
dency Of Mexico, was among the dead.
Felipe Angeles is now living near FL
Paso. The other leaders, General Cruz
Dominguez and General Julio Acosta,
escaped.
For several days the bandits
had been encamped in and about
the hudde adobe huts Of Oto
Azules. Major Howe took their
trail early Wednesday night. In the
bright moonlight the squadron rode
rapidly all night long, covering thirty
six miles. As they came upon the en-
camped Villistss. shots Of startled SEN
tries brought the bandits tumblng
from their sleep, some scantily clad.
Before they could rally for an efec-
tive stand the American cavalrymen,
pistols in action, were among them.
Shots were fired wildly by some of the
DdnOltS, DuL lOr the must phil NHcy
abandoned resistance for the greater
chance of safety in fight. A few gained
their horses, but the majority were
forced 70 flee afoot into the rocky hills,

pursuit
For two hours every American con-
Quoted a man hunt of his own, al
though at all times in touch with others
of the command. Scampering from rock

leans tried vainly for time 70 reach
some semblance of reformation, but

straight-shooting Americans.
Major Howe reported that forty

lie added that his squadron was still
pursuing the scattered remnant OF the
hand. which is the largest remaining
under TIE villa standard. This decisive
victory gave much satisfaction to mill
tarv men here. IL is believed the band
is Inc same as that defeated at Temo-
