Republicans Plan Protest
on Peril to Border
Towns.
CARRANZA AGREES
TO u. S. PROTOCOL
Funston Likely To Be Given Use
of Mexican Railways
To-day.

Washington, March 25.-While Ad-
ministration officials described the
military situation in Mexico as serene
tonight, the days developments in
Washington forecast political strug-
gle here next week, with the Admins
tration's Mexican policy as the storm
centre.
President Wilson issued a warning 70
the people not 10 be influenced by
slsrmist reports regarding the situa-
ton, which he said were being dissem-
mated by Sinister and INSCRIPTIONS
influences" and in the interest OF Ger
tain American owners Of Mexican prop
critics"
As he wrote the President had before
him the most resssuring advices re-
ceived from the border since the Amer
lean columns began their pursuit of
Villa. They were sent by General Fun
ston, and satisfied army officials that
the Carranza government was doing all
in its power to aid the pursuit.
Republicans Confer on Course.
At the Capitol Senate Republicans
were called into conference by their
leader, Senator Gallinger, to discuss
the border situation They will meet
again Monday, but it was admitted b.
those present to-day that the sense OF
the meeting was that steps should be
taken to compel the sending OF sddi-
tional troops TO guard the border
states.
In effect that would mean the calling
out Of the national guard. as almost
all the mobile regulars now are on the
border or in Mexico.
Several Republican Senators assert
cd that the minority members Endorsed
the sending Of the expeditionary force
after Villa, and wished only to cooper
ate with President Wilson in guarding
the border states. They repudiated
any suggestions that they were play
ing politics.
"If we cannot get anything done our
selves" one Senator said, we can at
least, by unanimous action, arouse such
public sentiment as 10 force action by
the majority"
Senators from border states tele-
graphed inquiries TO towns along the
international line as 20 the exact stu
alton and the reasons for the alarm ex-
pressed in messages they have received.
The replies will be considered at the
conference Monday.
Border Situation Improving.
General Funston's message was a
comprehensive review Of the situation
on the border and in the region where

McKeller says IL is generally believed
there that Villa is in the mountainous
country, btween Pearson and MADEIRA,
leading another band. Where villa -
believed by the colonists TO be now IS
a wild section. ,.
NcKeller SAYS il is possible that Villa

Gutierrez is at San Diego, near Pearson

brought the message said Gutierrez
asked him TO make known his desire
to 20 after Villa.
American soldiers on the way to Co

scattered 10000 rounds of ammunition
in the cars they occupied en- route 70
the border. Cleaning crews Of the
railroad here have gathered up the am
munition. and it will be sent TO Fort

the floor and seats Of coaches IN

ing the train without taking time TO
pick them up.
with a broken nose, q blackened eye
and patches of plaster covering breaks
and bruises on his face, Lieutenant
Bowen arrived here to-day from the
front TO enter the base hospital at Fort

fell 100 feet while scouting in his big

tenant Bowen expects TO return to the
front after few days in the hospital.

TIE neighborhood of Namiquipa, while
lie himself, at the head of a picked
force, is trying 20 break through the
lines Of his enemies south Of MADEIRA,
according TO information brought here
today by Americans arriving from
Pearson and Cssss Grandes.
This information redoubled the in
forest with which word is awaited from
General Pershing that the American
troops have FLASHED with the Villa ban
dts. According 20 reports from sources
usually reliable, coupled with what IS
officially known as 70 the progress OF
the punitive columns, American cavalry
reached MADEIRA yesterday, and should
be close on the heels Of the fugluYes
to-day.
From MADEIRA, south as far as Iu-
tuaca, a distance of about thirty miles,
a mountain trail winds through the
Sierra Madres. At Tutuaca II bends
sharply to the southeast until u is lost
in the wild and barren country south
OF Minaca.
Where villa May Escape.
This trail was known for years as
"Pancho's Road" 1t was popularity be-
jieved TO have been broken by the BAN
dit, and its intricscies are known to
only few but him. No wagons can pos
sibly pierce the desolate mountain re-
gion through which the road runs. Few
Americans are known 10 have penetrat-
ed the district. Ben Harris, a veteran
scout who is now living here, declared
to-day that IL Villa succeeded IN reach
ing TutuacR, the task OF finding nm
would be a hopeless one.
"Only Mexican ponies can take that
road" he said, land even they must be
very lightly loaded. The trail skirts
the edges Of canyons 5000 TO 1000 feet
deep and winds over bleak mountain
tops where the cold and rare air make
living almost unbearable. | could DEFY

Apart fror, the keen anticipation OF
news that the American soldiers were
within reach Of their prey, the border
was mostly interested to-day IN the re-
mort from Washington that an agree
ment had been reached IN substance
between the First Chief and Washing
