pose of Raiding

Chihuahua City, Mexico, July s.
Large Carranza forces, better or
ganized and more completely equip
ped than any other units of the de
facto Governments troops, are clos
ing in on the bandits of Southern
Chihuahua and Northern Durango
intent on wiping them out,
Jiminez, which the Villa forces
captured after defeating an inferior
force and killing Gen. Ignacio Ramos
has been occupied again by Govern
ment troops. The bandits are fleeing
through the valley of the river Florida.
Refugees who left Jimmez before
the Villa forces were near the city
were responsible for the story that
Pancho Villa commanded the bandits.
Nothing definite regarding his pre-
sence has been received here.
Gen. Jacinto Trevino yesterday
characterized as absurd reports that
q revolt against the de facto gov
ernment was in progress, and that
Alvaro Obregon, Minister Of War,
would take the field against the BAN
dts.
He said only few Of the chiefs,
who had never concluded negotiations
to accept amnesty, were concerned,
and added that there would be no rea-
son whatever for General Obregon
to dignity the bandit operations by
assuming charge of the campaign
against them.
"The Villistas already are in re-
treat back up the Florida" said the
general. Large Carranza forces are
now on the scene of the battle where
Ramos was defeated and are in COM
plete control of the situation.
Military men here explain the de-
lay in getting into touch with the
Villistas as being caused by the burn
ing out of bridges which hampered
transportation of large bodies of
troops. General Trevino has announc-
ed that he realizes the necessity of
an active, systematic campaign that
will crush out the bandits in short
order.
Telegraphic communication with
Torreon and Mexico City has been re-
stored, and it is expected that the
burned bridges will be quickly res
torcd.
Gen. Ernesto Garcia reports all
quiet in the Parral district. Gen.
Trevino is personally Investigating
the case of Mrs. Louisa Towns, the
American woman who charged she
was robbed in Jiminez and threatened
with execution. The offenders, j.. he
said, would be severely punished il
caught.
