Ell Paso. Tex, April 4.-The capture
Of villa-the trapping Of American

things appear to rest in the hands OF
Gen. Luis Herrera. He has been foe
of villa but recently was reported to
have quit chihuahua at the head OF 3
force Of 200 men.
Monday it was said Herrera had
taken ais stand at the key to the
route along which Villa is fleeing
from Dodd's cavalry and the infantry
and artillery which numbers along In
the rear all a part of Gen. Pershing's
expeditionary force.
It may be Herrera's intention to
fight villa and dispose Of the bandit
before Pershing's men arrive. At the
same time. 1t is pointed out here. the
common resentment against Amert'
can invasion may have served to weld
together these once inveterate enc
mics. There are rumors Of negotia-
tons between Herrera and villa
which, II true, might mean disaster
even massacre-for the Americans
who are 800 miles south Of the border
and go miles behind villa. The ban
dts flight is taking him along a
route at the salient point Of which he
must choose whether to make for Chi

he will encounter Herrera.
