SAN ANTONIO. March 2S.-News that Gen. Pershing was using a DOT ton of the Northwestern railroad for the transportation of troops was heard by Gen. Funston today from what was thought to be an unofficial source. This information included q report of the oyerturning of two cars and the injuring of ten troopers of the Tenth Cavalry and several horses. Three of the men were reported ser ously injured
 The accident occurred while the cars were being taken over a shoOhy that had been built around the Cuni- bre Tunnel south of Casas Grandes. One of the rails gave way and the cars rolled down an embankment.
 No reports from General Pershing were received today, but his silence caused no uneasiness at headquarters where the chief concern continued to be the problem of getting supplies into Mexico without a railroad.
 Exactly where Col. Dodd's cavalry Is now. or into how many detachments 1t has been divided. was unknown at General Funston's headquarters today.
 The exact whereabouts of General Pershing also remained unreported, but this lack of information created no uneasiness. for General Pershins still has orders to work out his own problems.
 Full realization of the dangers into which some of the attachments must be moving was acknowledged. Villas known ability as a director of ann buscades has aroused frank express sions of fear among army officials that he may catch some of the Ameri- can troops in a mountain trap.
 Openly expressed pessimism as toI an early capture of Villa now is ire Quently heard. Unless checked by the forces of the de facto government, or unless he himself decides to turn and fight. there appears no reason today why the chase should cease until Villa has led the Americans through twisting mountain trails and over waterless wastes for another 3e0 miles and more.
 More auto trucks have been asked for by General Funston and when they are in service. there will be few more than 300 along the different lines of communication.
 This increased number Of auto trucks, will not solve the problem of distributing supplies to the advanced troops, however. since q large part of the troops are operating for away from trails over which the cars can be run.
 The shifting lines of the chase Villa is leading the Americans. has made more apparent the desirabiity of getting permission to use the Juar- ez-Chihuahua line of the National Railway as well as the Northwestern Railroad but General Funston has re- trained from making any representa-. tions on the subject preferrins not to project a possible embarrasSing fea- ture in negotiations for the. lines
 It was pointed out that supplies routed through Chihuahua could he delivered to the advanced troops now ! with less loss of time and that line 1 of communication along that route l could be guarded with fewer troops ! than one along the more circuitious l route Of the Northwest 1 ern.
 If either railroad is used it is prob | able that the troops now extending l from Columbus through Casas Grand. | es 10 the positions oT the advanced | cavalry would be moved along the 1, pew route and that those wbo have | been necSsssry to guard the main line !.
