Americans Surprise and Charge Band IF Miles
 South of Cusihuirac.
U. s. TROOPERS
 IN CLOSE PURSUIT
Tired, Broken Bands of Bandits Are Making Way Afoot Toward the Mountains, With Maj. HOwze Hard
 on Their Heels.

fleld headquarters, near Nami- quipa, by wireless to Columbus, N. M., l May 6.-A full squadron of 23O men Of the Eleventh cavalry, surprised and routed much larger force of Villa bandits at Ojo-Azules, 17 miles south of Cusihuirachic early yester- day. By actual count 42 Mexicans were killed and a number wounded, put there were no American casu- alties
 The American command, under Maj. Robert l.. Howze, had been pursu- ing the Villa bandits under Generals Cruz Dominguez and Pulio Ocosta for several days, when they en- countered them, encamped in the huddled adobe houses of Ojo-Azules. The Mexicans were completely sur prised, and sprang from the pallets half clothed. After firing a few wild shots, they fled, each man shifting for himself Some of them were able to seize their horses, already jaded from a hard days ride, but others made their way into the hills afoot.
 In Major Howze's report he said the rout had been absolute, and that he was still pursuing the scattered remnant of the band.
 The band engaged is the largest remaining under the Villa standard, and today's decisive victory gave much satisfaction to militia men here.
 While the dispatches do not state, military men on the border believe that the band Is the same as that de- feated at Temochic on April 22 by Col. George A. Dodd's command.

Morris Walchansky Leaves Watson After Mortally
 Wounding Officer.
QUARREL. OVER AN
 AN OCCUPATION TAX
Marshal Obtains Warrant for Arrest of Merchant, Who Wrests Pistol From HuddlestOn and Fires Bullet
 Through Officers Head.

McGehee, May 6.-Tom Huddleston, town marshal at Watson, near here, was shot and probably mortally wounded at Watson this evening about 6 o'clock by Morris Walchanslsy, merchant and planter.
 Walchansky, it is alleged, had re- fused to pay a municipal tax, and Huddleston had obtained from Mayor Ed M. Vaughan warrant for Wal chansky's arrest. The marshal was in the act of serving the warrant when the shooting occurred. He ap- preached Walchansky, saying: "I have warrant for your arrest" Wal chansky replied, "I have one for you, too."
 Huddleston drew his pistol, 45 automatic, and walked up to Wal chansky, commanding: "Give me your gum"
 Walchansky grabbed Huddleston's gun, and they scuffled for several sec- onds. Eyewitnesses say Walchansky wrested the gun from the marshal and shot. The bullet entered the left side of Huddleston's neck and merged almost at the top of the head.
 The wounded man was brought to McGehee, and an examination by surgeons revealed, so one of them says, that the skull was crushed as if from a blow with a blunt instrument.
 The sheriff's office was notified and a deputy sent to Watson to arrest Walchansky, who is said to have left Watson in an auto immediately aftet the shooting
 Mayor Vaughan was an eyewitness to the shooting, being less than a block away from the scene.
 No hope is entertained for Hud- dleston's recover.
 Huddleston, who is about 27 years of age, is married and very popular.
 Walchansky is about 35 years of age, married and the father of sev- eral children.

Formerly Resided Here.

Morris Walchansky, who is alleged at Watson yesterday evening, former ly resided here. He conducted the Arcade" store where the Froug de- partment store is now located.
 It is believed here that MT. Wall chansky is possibly on his way to Pine Bluff to consult his legal ad- visers. None believes that if he left Watson he did so with the intention of evadino arrest. He has extensive property interests there.

Displeased Over Language 5 Used and Conditions Ap-
 parently Attached.
WILL LIKELY GIVE
 KAISER A CHANGE
Official Text of Note Almost Identical With Unofficial Sent in Press Dis. patches--Unlikely Reply Be
 Made Soon.

Washington, May 6.-Probability that diplomatic break with Germany has been averted, at least temporarily, . was strengthened today when the of ficial text of the German note was laid before President Wilson and Sec retary Lansing, and was found to be almost identical with the unofficial sent to the United States in press dis patches.
 Officials had indicated that should the official text bear out the unoffi- cial version they thought it improb- able diplomatic relations would have to be severed unless there should be further attacks upon merchantships, in violation of Germany's new pledges given in the note. Disappointment has been indicated, however, over certain features of the German reply, and some high officials believe that it, at least, cannot be accepted uncondition- ally.
 The president and Secretary Lans- ing studied the text carefully today.
 Opinion as to whether the note re- quires an answer seems divided. The decision rests with the president, and until he has made up his mind, it is unlikely that an official expression of opinion will be forthcoming. So far he has not indicated his final judg- ment in the matter.
 It is entirely possible that no reply will be sent for the present, at least, and that the president will maintain complete silence for a time, allowing Germany to demonstrate on her own behalf the good faith of her inten- tion to carry out the policy indicated in her new orders to submarine com- manders.
 Although the president realizes that the promises given are the cardinal element of the note, he is un- derstood to be displeased over the language used and the conditions ap- parently attached.
 German Views.
 Berlin, May 6, via London.-Dis- cussing the German answer to the American note, George Bernhardt, in the Vossiche Zeitung, says:
 "It will not be expected of us, in view of our attitude toward this ques- tion, that we should treat with noisy joy the way which our government takes to avoid a conflict"
 Declaring that the German-Amer- ican conflict is indeed not yet finally settled, the Vorwaerts points out that the new orders to submarine com manders coincide with the demands made by the Socialistic working alli- ance in the Reichstag.
 Die Post says Germany's course was dictated by the realization of her own strength.
 The Hamburg Naghrichten declares that never before did a mighty state make such concessions in the midst of struggle for existence.

Tex, May 6.--General Per- shing's official report of the defeat of 8 band of Villas men at O1o- Azules by Major Howze, describsd the action as 8 cavalry charge with pistols, the first to occur since opera tions were begun.
