prisoner. He said he was riding close
to Villa when he was shot and that
Villa nearly fell from the saddle, but
was supported by his men and aided
in making his escape.
16 Americans Killed.
The casualties of the Thirteenth
Cavalry in the fighting at Columbus
were seven killed and six wounded.
Villas total losses in the days fight
ing were estimated in excess of 100
killed and twice as many wounded.

reported to have accounted for more
than IS Mexicans killed and wounded.
The American losses on the Mexican
side was one corporal slain when Villa

Chance Campaign plans.

San Antonio, Text became known
that the plans for the campaign
against francisco Villa have been af-
fected by the border situation else
where than at ColrM1bus, N. M. The
situation, it Is said, is so important as
to have hindered rapid concentration
of the punitive expedition that will go
after the perpetrator Of the Columbus
outrage.
Great excitement has been noted, it
is authoritatively stated, in the Car
rama garrisons at Nogales, opposite
the Arizona border town of that name.
and at Piedras Negras, which fronts
Eagle Pass, Tex, from across the Rio
Grande.
1--WE do not ourselves know just
when the expedition that will search
for Villa will start into Mexico, al
though, of course. it will be soon.
"It will go forward just as soon as a
sufficient force with an adequate COM
missary can be organized. 1t will not
be held back, however, until all troops
now ordered to the border have ar
rived
This was the statement of Major
General Frederick Funston while he
was outlining at Fort Sam Houston,
Southern Department headquarters, as
closely as military expediency would
permit the plan that will be directed
against the Mexican leader. He added:
There is no use going at this thing
alf-cocked. The task ahead of us will
be long and anxious one"
The uneasiness along the border has
extended to the large Mexican popula-
ton on the American side. Troops
now stationed on the border towns are
sufficient to cope with any situation
that may arise, General Funston says.
However, as it is his intention to use
these troops in the search for villa
and as they cannot be moved until
other detachments arrive to succeed
them on the border patrol, complete
organization of the expeditionary force
has been delayed.
Army circles feel bound to respect
the fear of residents in American bor-
der towns that, Notwithstanding assur-
ances from General Carranza's repre-
sentatives uprisings may follow the
actual occupation of Mexican territory
by American soldiers. 1t is felt that
the welfare of the border cannot be
sacrificed to the doubtful success of
q hasty and therefore unprepared pur-
suit of the fugitive Villa.

tAOn to preclude the possibility of

statement follows:
rIn order to remove any misappre-

possibility of misconstruction. In brief,

Hknilar to those at Columbus which
led to the orders to General Funston
to enter Mexico, the same privilege

It is clearly stated, however, that
the bandits to be pursued on American
eUil by Mexican troops must have
come from the American side, com
nRitted depredations on the Mexican
side and led back again to the United
States territory. There is no such in
stance on record in recent years.

Polesoi is 35 miles north of Buchar-

Bucharest is inevitable if the Ru-

retreat by the railroad toward Mol
