|, the American side today. but their des-
tination was kept secret
One subject Of much speculation on
both sides of the border is the exact
meaning of the appointment of Gen.
Oregon as minister of war. Opinion
among Americans familiar with Mexico
and its politics are sharply divided.
One camp insists that Obregon's ap-
pointment means that the two Mexican
leaders have reconciled their differ
ences and that Obregon intends to give
his full support to the first chief.
The other camp. which includes most
of those who have personal &C
quaintance with Obregon, are equally
confident that his appointment indi-
Gates that he is gaining the upper hand
in government affairs and that a turn
distinctly unfavorable to the United
States may be looked for shortly in the
policy of the de facto government.
In the meantime Ell Paso and all the
rest of the northern and western Dor
der continue to hear the wild and fan
tastic rumors. which can never be too
fantastic not to gain some believers.
How most Of them start is a mystery,
but they are generally credited to Villa
sympathizers. who wish, to provoke
trouble for the Carranza government
and stir UP hostility toward it among
Americans.

TWO COLUMNS OF EXPEDITION
EXPECTED TO MEET TOMORROW
Troops Are ''Plowine Their Way Through
Desert Sands" Fifty Miles South Of
the International Boundary

Gen. Funston has been given any d.
rect promise of support.
1t was pointed out, however. that CO.
operation need not necessarily mean
joint action, and that possibly the Mex
lean army men would consider 1t the
fulfllment of their part of the program
if they continued independently their
operations against Villa. Cen Gales,
commanding the Mexican troops in So
nora, is reported to have placed at
strategic points in the eastern part OF
that state some 5000 men to prevent
the entry of Villa. and Gen. Luis Gu
tierrez is supposed to be directing five
columns on Chihuahua to prevent the
fugitive rebel from making his escape
over the trails to the south or east.
Danger of Possible Clash.
A clash between any of the Carranza
troops and the Americans is not antici-
pated by American army officers, but
the danger that some mutinous detach-
ment might attempt an attack on the
American forces has not been ignored.
Should such an incident occur, army
men here say it could scarcely be due
to mistaken identity, since the uniform.
equipment and general appearance of
the Americans is sufficiently unusual
in Mexico Is to make confusion impos-
sible
To a great extent the details of the
expedition have been left to Gen. Per-
shing. and his commanding officer here
is not bothering him or expecting from
him reports other than those regarded
by Gen. Pershing as essential.
Secrecy still is maintained as to the
exact disposition of the punitive force.
it's composition and future movements.
In general, it is admitted that juncture
of columns now heading south will be
made tomorrow, probably, when they
will be some fifty miles south Of the
international boundary line.

VILLA UNABLE TO PUT UP FIGHT.
WORD MORMON COLONY SENDS
Has But 500 Men, Some of Them Wounded,
Is Information Conveyed to Gen. Pershing
From Bishop Near Casas Grandes.

Ell PASO. Tex, March 17.-The 7th
and 10th Cavalry, said to be advancing
into Mexico by forced marches from
Culberson's ranch, near Hachita. n. NJ,
are nearing the Villa territory in the
Casas Grandes region. according to the
most reliable information that can be
obtained here.
These troops are reported to be
marching with the minimum of equip
ment and to be led by scouts from the
Mormon colonies at Colonia Dublan
and Colonia Morales. From their point
of departure the distance is eighty-ive
miles to Casas Grandes. and the start
was made early yesterday morning. II
villa intends to OFFER any organized re-
sistance to his pursuers 1t might be
possible for United States soldiers to
come in contact with his outposts very
soon.
The American expedition is penetrat-
ing Mexico under ideal weather condi-
tions. The hot season will not be
reached for month or six weeks, and
II the windmill wells. which dot part
of the country through which the expe-
dition il passing. are not dried up the
water supply situation should be re-
it possible to see after dark for some
distance.
Mormons Send Valuable information
Definite information that the Mormon
settlements. with their 500 American
men, women and children, were safe and
unmolested was brought here today by
Daniel Hurst. son of P. H. Hurst, the
Mormon bishop resident here Mr.. Hurst
brought news understood to be of much
military importance, which was for
warded to Gen. Pershng. He refused to
make public its nature or details
According to Mr. Hurst. Villa has at
most 400 men, some OF whom are wound
ed. He said. also. that il was not be-
lieyed in the Mormon colonies that the
bandit chief had more than 500 men
with him when he raided Columbus
What the intentions of Villa are re-
mann profound mystery today An
dreas Garcia. the Carranza consul here
asserted today that from information in
ms possession he was satisfied that
Villa had disoanded most Of his men
and intended to take refuge in the heart
of the Sierra Madres with only three or
four trusted companions.

READY. TO MOVE TROOPS.
Pennsylvania Railroad Has Forty
Five Cars on Hand.

Forty-fve cars, comprising three
trains of fifteen cars each, are being
held in readiness by the Pennsylvania
railroad at Rosslyn, Va, to transport a
squadron of the 5th United States Cav
airy from Fort Myer, Va, to the Next
can border line.
The cars which were placed by the
railroad company Tuesday. upon orders
from the War Department, to be pre-
pared to move the troops consist of
tourist. box and fiat cars. They are all
steam-heated and ready for immediate
removal.
The trains of fifteen cars each, which
are about twice the length of an ordi-
nary train are to be pulled by, two
engines each, and but short notice will
be all that is necessary for the rail-
road to get the engines coupled up to
the trains for the trip.

SAN ANTONIO, Tex, March IL
Merely blowing their way through the
desert sand" were the words of Gen.
Funston in summarizing yesterdays
developments
The campaign Is being conducted on
the assumption that the de facto gov
ernments troops will cooperate in the
efforts to destroy Villa and his follow
ers, but with the exception of support
given by the small garrison at Palo-
mas, opposite Columbus, military head
quarters was without evidence today
that active aid would be given by Car
ranza's army. The statement of Gen.
Gavira. commander at Juarez. that.
while he had given orders for cooper
alton in accordance with instructions
from his government, he personally did
not indorse such action. was the basis
for comment by army men.
Expect Discipline to Prevail.
BY some Gavira's attitude was taken
as indicative of that of many Of Car
ranxa's officers. but those high in au-
thority expressed the hope that dis
cipline would prevail in all cases over
personal opinion as it had in the case
of Gen. Gavira.
No concerted plan of action between
the military men of the two countries
has been agreed upon. The Americans
are in Mexico relying on the assump-
ton that Carranza has accepted in
good faith the note of the State De-
partment promising reciprocal priv
ileges in chasing down the bandits and
the unofficial report from Mexico City
that orders had been issued for CO.
operation. Neither Gen. Pershing nor

that his command had captured a
prisoner who revealed Villas plans and
whereabouts in detail. Copies of this

United States Army officers at Column

The man was captured at Dos Cabe-
EOS. and was in tho attack on Column

He informs me that Villa after the
attack went direct to the Corralitos
ranch. where he murdered seven cow
boys because they refused to give him
horses. From Corralitos he went to
Chocolate. where he stopped on the
18th. From there he went direct to

This is the first prisoner known to

He is being held in Aqua Prista.
