 ORIGINAL OWNERS Mexican Orders Americans to Retreat and Again is Dehed, So He Detours Around Ex- l petition.
(ey Review Leased wire.)

FIELD HEADQUARTERS, May 17 via wireless to Columbus, N M, May 22.-Cavalry returning here tonight from far southern marches, brought news of brusque demands made upon them by General Cavazos, the Carran- Zista officer in command of several thousand men now policing the sec. tion of Chihuahua from Parral north ward to San Antonio. The demands were made on the Eleventh cavalry, in command of Maj. Robert L. Howze. few days ago. This cavalry, after annihilating some of a large band of Villistas at Ojos Azules was resting south of aSn Antonio making ready to clean up the remainder of the ban dits. For the first week after their defeat the Villistas never appeared in groups of more than four, so the Amer jeans played a waiting game.
 General CavaZos first demanded of Major HowZe the cor nwhich the A. merican troopers had seized from the defeated Villistas. Next the Carranza leader demanded that he be given the horses the Americans had taken He was Informed that any property would be paid fo rin full, but that the mon- ey would be given to the original own CT of the property. Finally General Cavazos demanded that the Americans retreat northward This was refused flatly. The Carranzista commander then requested permission to march past, or through the American posi- tion to consolidate his command with achievements and this was granted The Americans were drawn up on the crest of hill, when Carranza force marched past.
 A beared American soldier, father of family, who watched them, said today: "I am sure that half of the command was composed of boys. Some of them appeared not more than thir- teen or fourteen years old.
 '''It was by such troops that we wer told we had been threatened. Those boys would not stand one chance in thousand against our expert shots it would be almost murder to engage them"
 Immediately after this incident on the hill, Major Howze was ordered to fall back on account of the progress made at the conference between Wash { ington and CarranZa officials for set tlement of the Mexican troubles.

American Troopers Arrive on Texas Soil After Averaging Glenn Springs Raid and Routing Bandits.
NOT A MAN LOST
 ON EXPEDITION
Flying Column For Days Was Completely Out of Touch, Gained Much by Trip and Rescued Deemer.
feY Review Leased Wire.l ]

MARATHON, May 22.-The flying columns of the Eighth and Fourteenth cavalry, detailed by Major Frederick Funston to give chase to the bandit raiders of Glenn Springs and Boquil- las. have returned to American soil near Boquillas.
 Colonel Frederick w. Sibley, com mander of the expedition. forded the Rio Grande with the two troops of the Fourteenth detailed to the pursuit from Fort Clark late yesterday after noon. Major George T. Lanhorne, at the head of Troops A and B of the Eighth. headquarters Fort Bliss. fol- lowed shortly after.
 The expedition was in Mexico just ten days. It failed to capture or wipe out the main body of the Big Bend marauders, but it made prisoners of four of the bandits and left behind two others desperately wounded. In addition it rescued Jesse Deemer. Bo- quillas storekeeper. and ionroe Payne, negro kidnapped by the Mex jeans as they took their last desper- ate UlHR DtlOft nttills SOuln UCyOHQ the international boundary.
 The return of the expedition was imperative for strategical reasons. It had penetrated so far into the inter- for without the semblance of line of communication that it was in danger unless there was no anti-American eruption. With no hope of reinforce ments. which had been declared un- available. it was impossible for it to continue its foray. Then. too. the n ain object of its campaign had been accomplished in the release of Deem CT and Payne.
 Movie Men Went Too
 News of the return of Colonel Sib- ley and Major Langhorne reached Marathon almost a day after it had been safely accomplished. Two nov ing picture photographers. who accom- panied the invaders. brought the first story. It was verified later in the day in dispatches to Captain John Cham bers, base quartermaster.
 150 Miles Into Mexico
 According to the information reach ing here, Major Langhorne with his advance detachment. penetrated be- tween 150 and 175 miles into Mexico before he turned northward again. Colonel Sibley. taking an easier pace was well to his rear at all times in position either to push forward to his aid or to cut off any enemy that might try g flank attack.
 After the release of Deemer and Payne last week, seventy miles from Roduillas, part of Langhorne's com mand, under Lieut.. Cramer. engaged a small band of raiders. capturing six of whom two were wounded. It soon grew apparent. however, that there was no hope of waylaving the maiori- l ty of the raiders. as they had split up and fled in various directions. It was decided to turn back.

CAMERA DAUNTS BANDIT.

CHIHUAHUA, Mex, May 21. via Fl Paso Juction, May 22.- Pablo Lopez, perpetrator of the Santa fsabel massacre and au- thor of many other outrages in the name of Pancho Villa, who has faced gunfire many times without flinching, crouched in terror before the eye of a ca mera here today.
 He thought that the taking of his pictures by an American newspaper man was but the prelude to his being taken to the notorious Santa Rosa execu- ton place. For hours after he surrendered he enquired anx- iously of every warder who came near his prison cell if he was about to be led forth to his death.
 Since his capture, which took place near the scene of his su- preme crime, the murder of eighteen Americans, Pablo has been confined here while his wounds are treated. When he is well again he will be convict ed.

CURIOSITY FOLLOWS ( LETCHER TO CAPITAL
Visit of U. s. Consul in Mex leo is Regarded with Deep est Significance in Washing ton Circles.
(ey Review Leased wire.)

WASHINGTON, May 22. - The economic situation in Mexico is grave. according to official accounts to the state department. With the monetary problem already acute. the food shortage in Mexico City without prospect of any immediate relief, and with the labor strike ertending over practically all the Mexican railway lines, the de facto government is pic tured as facing serious domestic plight.
 First hand reports as to the situa- tion in northern Mexico will reach the department tomorrow. Consul Leteher from Chihuahua City is en route to Washington, presumably bringing with him a synopsis of the reports of five other consuls recently ordered to the border to talk over conditions with military officials there. It was off cially stated that while Mir. Letcher would make his report on conditions in Mexico, that was not the sole pur- pose of his trip. 1t was explained he was ordered here that routine matters might be taken up with him, but no inkling of their nature was given out.
 No inkling on Note.
 The department today received fur ther advices from Special Agent Rod gers at Mexico City telling of the new note that was in process of prepara- tion by the de facto government, but the message threw no light on its purport The communication will be handed to Secretary Lansing by Eliseo Arredondo, ambassador design ate. but the embassy, so far has no of the matter. MT. Rodgers's last message indicated that the LSte had not been sent forward and might not be sent for a day or so.
 While reports as to the situation of the Carranza government are gloo- my the attitude of Mexican officials stated as more friendly since che con ference between Generals Scott and Obregon.
 116 Backsliders.
 Reports from General Funston that 116 members of the Texas national guard had refused to take mastering oath and enter the federal service un- der the Presidents call, brought of companies from that state to the war department today to find out what action was in contemplation. They were told the matter had not yet reached Secretary Baker for con Mir Bakers military ad visers are preparing recommendations for him under the existing militia law and it is known that some officers be- lieve they should be tried and fined i as a warning to national guardsmen in : general that they are undertaking a | serious responsibility in joining the The secretary himself | has postponed study of the law in lhe case until all the facts are before . him.
