i SAN ANTONIO. April 13.-FrOm | Columbus. \. M.. to points near the Chihuahua-Durango line American
 troops increased their vigilance today
 against attacks from any quarter < Word that Carranza had requested ! the opening Of negotiations looking to ' their withdrawal went up and down
 the line of communication and for
 ward to the camps of the detached cavalry columns that have penetrated the hills and mountains beyond ParraI in their search for Villa
 No official communication went to them and will not until the War De- partnent has communicated the news and it's wishes to General Funston but orders have been sent Co take all pre- cautions against attack.
 General Funston received no report from General Pershing regarding the
 reported Parral incident and late to- day he knew nothing more of that de- velopment than was contained in the report sent forward hy Consul Letcher from Chihuahua and that given in press dispatches from Washington. His information from Consul Letcher indicated that both garrison and pOpulaCe had fired upon the detach- ment of 1iO American troops when they entered Parral and the fire had been returned.
 It was assumed that the command ing officer oi the American detach- ment was Major Tomkins. who. it was believed. might be having diff culties in getting his reports Of the incident Dack to General Pcrshing. Major TOmkins had with him no field wireless and a courier would have teen necessary for the transmission of his report. That a conflict between American troops and MeNicans other than those of Villas organization had occurred. was regretted at headquart- CTS. but confidence was expressed in the ability of the commander of the detachment that entered Parral to eN- plain the incident satisfactorily All officers i'll tie eNpcditionary columns have been cautioned not to provoke conflict with peaceful residents of Mexico or with troops of the de facto government and officers at head quarters do not believe that the incl dent at Parral will al.er the attitude of the men in the field. Officers here are confident that any conflict that might come will be the result of az sression by Mexican force.
 Until ordered to act otherwise. Gen eral Pershing will continue uninter- ruptedly and without material change of plan his pursuit Of Villa. but he also will be expected to carry out General FunstOn's orders issued today to look closely after the guarding of his lines of communication and in- Vestisate carefully all Mexican troop in his vicinity. whether they be the movements of Villa troops or those of the de facto government
 General Funston said late today that he had ordered scouts to watch for the forces of General Arnuifo Gomez. reported yesterday to be pre- pairing to move southward toward Casas Grandes. with the ostensible in- tention of joining in the pursuit of Villa. From the direction which army officers thought Gomez would take. if he does move. il was pointed out the general could cut the Ameri- can line of communication
