VILLA BREAKS
THROUGH GORDON
Carranza Troops Yield Before
Mexican Outlaw.
COOPERATION IS SUSPECTED

Ease With Which Bandit Is Reported
to Have Escaped Causes American
Army Officers to Believe Many Gov
eminent Troops Are in Sympathy
With Him.
San Antonio, Tex, March 2S.-
Francisco Villas escape from the re-
gion about Namiquipa was preceded
by smart defeat administered by him
to a part of the Mexican government
troops and was unopposed by other
attachments of the de facto govern
ment forces, according to unofficial
but credible reports reaching here.
The Gordon of Mexican troops that
the Mexican authorities announced
should have been drawn across his
path gave way, according to these re-
ports, with willingness that indicat-
ed their cooperation with him rather
than with the American forces.
Army men at department head
quarters were inclined to believe re-
ports of inefficiency and half hearted
cooperation and contemplated with
speculative eye the probable future OF
the second phase of operations just
inaugurated by the commander of the
punitive expedition.
No reports from General Pershing to
General Funston dealt with other than
routine subjects, primarily those hav-
ing to do with the transportation OF
supplies.
1t is realized here that the early cap
ture of Villa would be little better
than an accident.
With their knowledge of the coun-
try and with the assistance they can
obtain along their route Villa and his
followers. it is feared, will have no
difficulty in keeping ahead of the pur-
suing Americans.
That Villa will be able to effect a
juncture with a considerable force be-
fore he is brought to stand again is
regarded at headquarters here as
probable.

Situation.

Situation.
Washington, March 2S.-Failure of
senate Republicans to take any action
at conference on the Mexican situa-
ton left the administration unhamp-
cred in dealing with the problem.
The conference was called to con-
slider steps to force the dispatch of ad-
ditional troops to the border for pa
troll duty.
The Republicans adjourned, some of
their leaders agreeing there is moth
ing to do but support the administra-
tons plans at this time.
Steps to meet shortage of supplies
for cavalry mounts have been taken
by Secretary Baker, as there is no
indication of an early agreement on
the proposed protocol providing for
the use of Mexican lines by American
troops.
