Columbus, N. M., March 31.-A mes sage from Lieut.. Col. D. c. Bell General Pershing's chief of staff, said Villa was carried away in a carriage after the bat tie wounded and with his hip permanently disabled.
 Colonel Dudd attacked the Villa camp with 400 members of the Seventh and Tenth cavalry at dawn. completely sur prising the Mexicans and forcing them into the defensive.
 Before the battle the American forces night making march of 55 miles through the chill of the mountain night in IT hours.
 Several Villa prisoners were taken, the exact number not being indicated in re- ports received here.
 The Villa flight was an utter rour, arms and equipment being thrown away.
 The dead and wounded Villa soldiers were lying about the ground and Colonel Dodd soldiers said perhaps the estimate of 30 killed was low. The names of the Americans wounded were not contained in dispatches here, but it was reported that none was dangerously hurt.
 Later reports indicate that Villa was being jolted over mountain roads in a light carriage in an attempt to reach a hiding place.
 It was asserted that the American ad- vance guard crept up through arroyos beyond the Villa outposts before they were discovered and that the American Springfield rifles moved down tine Mexi- cans as they sprang from their pallets.

 FOREIGNERS MURDERED
 The last outrage credited to Villa occurred at Minaca, town southeast of Guerrero on the Mexico and Orient railroad. Here the Mexicans are re- ported to have murdered Herman Blankenberg, mine foreman, and two other foreigners. It is feared that th.. two unknown victims are Americans Four Americans = Asklin, Hempie, Locke and pr. Stell-are known 10 have been in or near Minaca recent ly.
 It is not certain that Villa hiIns elf took part in these murders, as it is thought improbable that he could haye made his way from Minaca to the San Geronimo ranch. 30 miles to the north east, in the time elapsing between the murder of the foreigners and the fight on the ranch which Colonel Dodd's men.

 GIVE UP MALANCOURT
 German pressure on the Malancourt- Bethincourt salient, northwest of verdun, has proved too much for the French on the westerly end of the position and they have been forced out of Malancourt village.
 The German guns had been violently bombarding the village for many hours after the recent success of the crown princess troops in reaching the outskirts. Last night the infantry charged in masses simultaneously from three sides, furiously engaging the French battalion holding the village.
 After an all night struggle the French evacuated the village, which had been laid in ruins by the bombardment and the storm of battle raging in it's streets after the infantry entered 1t. General Petain's troops still hold the outskirts, the Paris bulletin asserts.
