sEcRETIVE ABOUT SENDING
 SUPPLIES INTO MEXICO,
No Train Has Left Juarez in the Last
 Two Days.

Fl Paso, Tex, March so.-The prob lem of forwarding supplies to the American base at Colonia Dublan by way of the Mexican Northwestern rail- road has changed from the perplexing to the mysterious tonight General George Bell, Jr-, apparently on receipt of instructions from Washington, sirn- lar to those sent to General Funston. announced that he could give no in- formation to the press regarding the situation, and other officers and off, cials were equally uncommunicative.
 The one definite fact is that no SUD- plies have been sent, as no train has left Juarez in the last two days J. O. Crockett, vice president of the North western railroad, said tonight he knew Of no arrangements for sending out a train or supplies, but that he had a train ready any time it was needed
 From what could be learned here the question of gasoline Is one causing tho military authorities the greatest anx- iety. The motor truck trains are tax ed ta their capacity to keep an ade- qSate quantity of food and forage moving forward The amount of gaso- line required by the trucks themselves and for the aeroplanes is great, and constantly growing in volume.
 The most reliable information about Villa places him somewhere in the fastnesses of the great continental di- vide many miles south of Namiquipa and fleeing in an easterly direction with Parra1 as his objective.
