New Campaign TO be Launched
Against Bandit Chief by
CarranZa Forces.
GENERAL OzUMA IN COMMAND
Santa ISABEL Will Be Field Base for
New Operations in Search of
the Rebels.

chihuahua City, Mex, Oct. 20.-An
details have been completed for the
new campaign against the commands
Of Francisco Villa and Jose Ynez SaIa-
Ear in Western Chihuahua
This column, under General Carlos
Ozuna, is ready to entrain at the Mex
leo Northwestern station for Santa
ISABEL, which is the field base for the
operations by the Carranza forces
against Villas commands.
There are 500 well equipped men at
Santa ISABEL who will join General
DUMAS forces upon its arrival there
and proceed west toward San Antonio
and Guerrero.
Martial Law Enforced.
Martial law is being rigidly en-
forced here and many arrests are be-
ing made. The return from FL Paso
of Mrs. Trevino, wife of General Ire
vino, has increased public confidence
in the ability Of the garrison here to
withstand any attacks from Villa
forces. General Salinas, the Villa
commander operating in the San
Juan de Guadalupe district, has
offered to surrender his band to
government forces, according to
a message received by General Ire
vino today from Gen. SiIaro Rodriguez.
Amado Zuniga, the bandit leader, has
made similar overtures, and the sur
render of the two would free the La
guna district entirely of bandits.
Villa Occupies Mining Town.
Francisco Villa and a part Of his
bandit command took possession of
the mining town of San Audres, TWEEN
ty-five miles west of here, yesterday.
Angered because the male population
of the town had fled to prevent being
impressed into his service, Villa or
dered the houses burned and permit
ted his men to commit atrocities upon
the defenseless Inhabitants, a refugee
declares.

CLASH ON BORDER
American Cavalry Patrol Fired
Upon by a Party of "Drun-
ken" Mexicans.
FIGHT LASTED as MINUTES
No Casualties Were Suffered by Either
Side-Incident of Little Signifi-
canoe, Washington Says.

San Antonio, Tex, Oct. 21.-Amer-
lean troops and Mexicans clashed near
San Jose in the Big Bend country yes
terday afternoon, according to a re-
port received by General Funston
early tonight from Col. Joseph CASTOR,
commander of the district. The fight
lasted forty-five minutes. No losses
were suffered by the Americans and
information is lacking regarding
losses among the Mexicans.
Colonel Gaston's report said that a
band of about thirty Mexicans opened
fire On a detachment composed of
twenty-three men of the Sixth Caval-
ry, and a Texas cavalry detail, en-
gagged ~in patrol duty between Pre-
sidio and Ruidosa. Lieutenant Cud-
ington of the Texas squadron, COM
handing the troops, ordered his men
to return the fire.
Bandits or Carranzistas?
A vigorous exchange of shots con-
tinued for forty-five minutes, the
Americans and Mexicans firing in
skirmish formation from covered posi-
lions on either side of the Rio Grande.
Information from Colonel CASTOR did
not indicate that the United States
troops crossed in pursuit OF the Mex
leans. After the fight, Lieutenant
Cudington returned to Ruidosa with
his command.
Whether the Mexicans were de facto
government troops or members of a
bandit band, was not known by Gen
era1 Funston tonight. He is awaiting
a detailed report of the action.
Drunken Mexicans," Funston Says.
Colonel CASTOR reported that Maj.
A " P Anderson of the Sixth Cav
airy had. gone to San Jose to investi-
gate the circumstances. Colonel Rio
jos, commander of the Carranza gar
rison at Ojiniga, has gone there for
the same purpose, according to Colo
mel CASTOR.

ston, reporting tonight on the ex-

Captain Jones asks the Enter

to give some OF the Dresden
Methodists an opportunity OF
hearing their pastor before con.
ference, as he may not De reEufn'

ject of which was not selected at
