FL PASO, Tex, March 25.-Nilla has forces, leaving one body to hold in check the Carranza troops in the neigh bcrhood of Namiquipa, while he him self, at the head of a picked force. is trying to break through the lines of lis enemies south of Madeira, according to information brought here today by Americans arriving from Pearson and Casas Grandes.
 This information redoubled the inter- est with which word is awaited from General Pershng that the American troops have clashed with the Nillistas. According to reports from usually re- liable sources. coupled with what is known officially as to the progress of the punitive columns. American caval- ny reached Madeira yesterday and should be close on the heels of the flu gitive bandit today. From Madeira 30 miles south of Tu- tuaca, a mountain trail winds through 1 the Sierra Madres. At Tutuaca il bends sharply to the southeast until il 1 is lost in the wild and barren country south of Minaca. This trail was knowr | for years as ''Pancho's road" It wa. popularly believed to have been brok

 not pierce the desolate mountain regiol l through which the trail runs. One o the few Americans known to have pen etrated the district is Ben Harris, veteran scout who is now living there He declared today that if Villa sue ceeded in reaching Tutuaca the task 0 l finding him would be hopeless.
 A Mexican cowboy arrived here to
 day insisted that he had seen Will himself with about two hundred me lentering the Santa Clara canyon south
 east of Namiquipa yesterday morning
 This canyon runs for 150 miles north east of Encinillas, it is from 1000 5000 feet deep and if the report 7. true, Villa has entered a trap froi

 "A torpedo" he said. would have wrecked the vessel. But whatever it was, it blew the forepart right out of her. There was terrible uproar.
 "A boat tackle broke, precipitating the occupants. in the water. There might have been forty of them. The women were wonderful They took their places in the boats, nearly all of them being the wives of or relatives of men, who remained aboard
 Things reached crisis about twen- ty minutes after we struck But it was found that the collision bullxhead had held and if it continued to do so all would be well for those remaining on board
 The captain did every thing possi- bic, after the explosion. About H. 30 Oc clock a mine sweeper came alongside to aid us. It took the women off first and then some of the men. At that time. at the foot of the companionway leading to the sa loon there was wash of water in which bodies were floating In many years of sailing in all the oceans, l never saw such sight. It more than took the heart out of me"

WASHINGTON, March 25.-Debate on the literacy test section of the Burnett immigration bill was com pleted by the house in committee of the whole late today, and vote will be taken Monday to decide whether the provision, which has been respon- sible for presidential vetoes of three
 previous immigration bills, shall be retained in the measure.
 Republican Leader Mann spoke to- day against the literacy test, declar- ing that ability to read and write
 were mere incidents of opportunity
 but announcing that although he had
 voted against three immigration bills because of that feature he would pport the Burnett bill regardless of whether the test were eliminated. He declared every man of common sense probably would seek to escape from Europe at the close of the wal and he was unwilling ito leave the country unprotected against the prob- grafton the world has ever scen."

 Sand storms, which have caused in- creasing discomfort to the Americans for the last few days continued to- day with no signs of abatement. The greatest inconvenience has been caused the soldiers, the sand blowing into their ears, eyes and their noses under their clothing and even under the saddle blankets of the horses.

QUERETARO. March 25.-The war department officials denied today the persistent rumors that General Luis Herrera had gone over to Villa. The report of this and other alleged de- fections is said to be the work of reactionaries for the purpose of com plicating the situation.
 The pursuit of Villa bandits is be- coming more rigorous. General Luis Gutierrez today reported the capture and execution of Paldomer Santana, Ia general attached to Villas forces and said to have been one of a party of 1,5OO who remained on the Mexican side of the border when Columbus was raided. The execution took place at the City of JimineZ, in the state of Chihuahua, of which General Gu terrez is the military head.

WASHINGTON, March 25-The channel steamer Sussex damaged yes- terday in the English Channel and the British steamship Englishman, de- stroyed by an explosion, both carrying American citizens were torpedoed ac- cOrding to consular reports received by the state department today Flat statements that torpedOes were re- sponsble were made in both cases but their information.
 Twenty-Five Americans were on the Sussex, whether any of them lost their lives or were injured was not establish ed by the official reports. though news dispatches indicated that Americans might have been lost Four Americans, employed as horse handlers, were aboard the Englishman None were among the rescued landed at British port.
 Coming at a time when the state de- partment was awaiting the result of the investigation of the Dutch liner Tu- bantia and considering affidavits re- garding an alleged submarine attack upon the French ship Patria, the de- struction of the Englishman and the damaging of the Sussex raised again the possibility of complications be- tween the United States and the Gen. tral European powers.
 The most important dispatch regard ] ing the Sussex came from American Sharp at Paris. He reported that the American consular agent at Dieppe, Walter P. s. Palmer Samborne, had in- formed him that the Sussex was tor pedoed about six miles off the French l coast while carrying 3S6 passengers and a crew of B and that sixty to eigh- 1 ty passengers had been wounded or killed. Ambassador Sharp quoted Sam uel Bemis. an American, as saying that he had seen several persons killed | in the explosion.

Republican A. P Leased Wire1

SAN ANTONIO, Tex. March 25.- Carranza's delay in permitting the movement into Mexico over the North western railway of supplies for the
 American troops. has created an inn
 patience at army headquarters that today was hardly disguised. The
 quartermaster's department has eX-
 pressed the assumption that finally
 CarranZa will authorize the use of
 the railroad and has sent to Fl Paso
 quantity of stores for immediate
 shipment Officers here did not
 credit the unofficial report that Gen eral Alvaro Obregon. CarranZa's sec !retary Of war, had said that no per- mission for use of the line would be given.
 The utilization of the flying corps for transmission of reports from the field was regarded at headquarters with keen satisfaction. The wireless has not been a success and in the absence of telegraph wires, General Pershing has not been able to render 1 detailed reports and for days at a l time no report of any character has | reached here of the front.
 1 frneasiness occasioned by the lack | of news from cavalry columns was evident today at General F'unston's l headquarters. although he displayed an optimistic confidence in Genera Pershing's campaign methods. His longing for more news. however, was
 unconcealed. Monday General Persh- ! ing reported the dispatch of threi l cavalry columns southWard iron Casas Grandes. Friday he reported
 that two of them were in the vicinity l of Namiqupd That is the net amount 1 of official information that has l reached headquarters.
