Evidence of Villas Illness.

Pershing's Camp at the Front in Mexico, April 15, by Wireless to Co., lumbus, N. M, April 21-After the Parral fight, Col w. c. Brown of the Tenth United States Cavalry, obtained fairly reliable evidence that Villa, wounded. was being carried by an escort southward toward Durango. Villa himself, with an escort of 15O men was said to have passed through Fl Valle, a small place about twenty miles west of Parral another band of 100 Villa bandits were reported pass ing south two or three days ahead of the American columns. General lS- maal Lozano, at Parral, said he fought them when they were split into three small detachments, defeating each in turn. General Lozano also claimed that the presence of American troops near Parral had the effect of increas- ing Villas ranks.

 As the Americans fell back, Major Tompkins finally ordered that only the
 expert rifle shots among his men should reply to the Mexican fire. Make Stand in Adobe Huts.
 Shortly before dark the Americans
 reached the adobe Mexican village of Santa Cruz, where they loop-holed some heavy mud walls foot or
 more thick, making very effective de- fensive positions. The Mexicans did not press them in this village but
 continued firing until 6:50. At that hour all shooting ceased. Immediately mounted man bearing a flag of truce approached the American lines and was taken to Major Tompkins.
 In the Mexican lines bugles were blowing the military recall for cav alrymen. The truce messenger brought word from Gen. Lozano, who was at that time in the Mexican lines a short distance from the Americans. Lozanos note suggested that he was unable to control his men. Tompkins replied imm ediately, and quickly there came another flag of truce from Lozano, with a demand from Gen. Lozano that Major Tompkins with draw, and threatening to attack him if he refused.
 Col. Brown, who arrived at this time with $50 men of the Tenth Cav airy and took command, replied that he would not retreat step from Santa Cruz unless ordered to do so by his commanding officers. To this Gen. Lozano made no reply.
 Investigation of the Parral4 situa ton showed that while Gen. Lozano himself had no record as a Carranza officer most of his command was credited with being former Villa sol diers. The city of Parral was known as a hot bed of Villa sympathizers.
 Pursuit Effcctually Halted.
 The direct effect of the Carranza attack on the Americans was to n- terrupt the pursuit of Villa which the columns were making with a handful of men. It was known that an important unit of Villas forces was fleeing southWard toward Durango, and the Americans were daily getting nearer this force. In order to proceed past Par ral the Americans were forced to buy provisions for men and horses at that town. It was this necessity which led Major Tompkins to open with the Parral civil and officials.
 The day after the fight. President E. Herrera of Parral sent messengers to Col. Brown saying he regretted that there had been fight. He said he thought the Americans should not have gone into Parral unannounced. Col. Brown replied by pointing out that the Americans had gone at what purported to be an invitation from Carranza officers and had sent the m essage to announce their coming
