FL PASO. March 1O.-General Bar tani. the Carranza commander in western Chihuahua, reached Palomas today with 800 men and reported Villa was making for the hills with his entire force and extra horses stol- en from the ranch houses in tho yici- nity of Columbus.
 At Fort Bliis. the cavalry troops gre being perp2red for immediate field service. The pack mules and cavalry horses are being rushed reshod, the packs are being loaded. frewood brought up in shape for the troops to move into Mexico at the first order from the War Department of General Funston. General Funston is expected to reach here tonight or tomorrow and the invasion of Mexico in pursuit of Villa is expected to begin before to- morrow night before Villa reaches the mountainous district of the Gallina or Guerrero districts. The same prepar- ations is being made in Camp Cotton for the infantry troops and the artil- leTy is getting ready to cover any as- sault on the border towns or to cover any concentrated attack upon the United States troops in the anterior No troop movements have yet heen started as all of the officers are wait ing for orders from Fort Sam Houston or Washington. There are 12,000 troops stationed along the border and il is possible that all of these will be brought into action if it is found necessary. The troops will then Dc sent in. according to army men, as fast as the state National Guards ar rive from the border states, including the artillery company at Roosevelt. N M. As fast as these National Guard troops are brought up. the line Of regular troops will be sent into MeXi- co to carry the line of communication and supplies. It is not known where the first point of invasion will be but probably be along Villas route of re- treat with another eXpeditionary force pushing down the Mexican Northwest ern Railroad through Juarez and Casas Grandes in the mountain coun- try. Other forces will be sent to Columbus to take the place of the troops sent from there, which will probably be the 18th Cavalry as a reward for valor shown at the Col umbus fight. From here the Stn Cav airy, machine gun section and wireless section will probably be sent under commadn of Colonel Charles Taylor with General Pershing directing this line of invasion while Genera Funston has direct supervision over the line entering at Columbus and Palomas.
 4 report was received from Hachita tonight that six United States Army pack mules had reached the line near there without riders and were covered with blood. This is believed to have been a part of the 18th Cavalry equip ment although it is possible that small detachment of soldiers from one of the other troops was ambushed.
 The Golden State Limited from Douglas today brought 70 refugees from Columbus including Mrs. Maud Hawk Wright, the woman who was Villas captive for the long ride from the interior to the border. Mrs. w. c. Ritchie, widow of the proprietor of the Commercial Hotel, brought her husbands body here for burial accom- panied by her daughters. She told of the return of her diamond and tur- quOise earrings which had been snatch ed from her hands by a Villa bandit. The man, dying prisoner in the 18th Cavalry camp. returned the rings to her by courier with note saying he was sorry he had killed her
