ORIGINAL ORDERS EXPLAINED
War Departments Plans For
Pursuing the Chase Going
Forward Actively.
PURPOSE NOT YET COMPLETED

Washington, D. c., April 9.-Signs
pointed tonight to an early conclu-
sion of the American expedition into
Mexico.
Although some uncertainty exist
ed as to just what will be consider
ed a successful conclusion, there
were indications that the end is near,
whether Villa is captured or not.
However. withdrawal of the troops
is rot contemplated until this sue
cess" Is gained.
For the first time it was announc-
ed to-day that the original orders to
Major-General Funston did not pro-
vide specially for the death or cap
ture of the bandit leader. but that
the work of the United States troops
would "be regarded finished as soon
as Villas band or bands are known
70 be broken up" and that the
Americans would withdraw "as soon
as the de facto government of Next
co is able to relieve them of this
work.
Secretary Baker, informally deny
ing that immediate withdrawal of
the expeditionary force was contem-
plated. indicated that the War De-
rartment had information that the
United States troopers were close
upon Villas trail, and that the ex-
petition might soon accomplish the
purpose for which it was sent across
the border.
The object of the expedition was
stated when it was undertaken"
said Secretary Baker. at has never
been changed. No other orders have
been given, and the expedition is
busily pursuing its purpose now with
what hope is fair chance of early
success"
This expression from the War Sec
rotary gave rise to hopes that the
pursuit would not have to be con-
tirued much longer. Reports have
indicated that the troops are close
TO villa. 1t was stated officially to-
day that General Fun3ton's orders
were bread enough to include deal
ing personally with the question ana
that if ne thought the chances Of
capturing Villa were good, or that
If he believed the death of the lead
or was necessary to break up his
band or bands" he would not be
hampered in the least by the War
Department.
AS an evidence that immediate
Withdrawal was not contemplated,
Secretary Baker said that all the
War Departments plans for pursu-
ing the chase were going forward
actively, an order being placed only
to-day for 10 gasoline-carrying mo-
tor trucks for General Pershing's
The American forces
were pushing ahead" he said, but
gave no details of the operations.
Secretary Baker said General Fun
ston had not yet reported that the
American expeditions object had
been attained. 1t was recalled that
on the day the troops crossed, Secre-
tary Baker said their object was to
capture or dispense" the bandits
who raided Columbus.
Secretary Lansing also issued a
statement saying he knew Of no in
tertior 10 withdraw the troops. He
said also that no intimation had
come from the Carran2a Government
hat de factor Government officials
thought General Pershing had ac-
his mission and should !
return to United States territory.

American Troops.
VILLA IS ONE DAY IN FRONT
OF Pursuers, Says RepOrt-No
Limit Placed On Stay OF
Our Troops.
ACCURATE NEWS YET LACKING

Ell Paso, Tex, April 10.-Confir-
nation of reports that Francisco
Villa was in the neighborhood OF
Parral, or had passed it, was
brought to Juarez to-day by Gen.
Francisco Bertani, the Carranza
commander at MADEIRA.
General Bertani, who came to
Juarez for a conference with his SUI
periors, said that before he left Ma
dera Saturday authentic reports
were received that Villa had been
seen at Camargo This town is
about sixty miles northeast of Par
raj. Bertani had no report on how
close the American troops were fol-
lowing.
The last fight between Carranza
troops and Villa forces occurred at
San Francisco de Borja, four days
ago, the General said. The Villa
forces were defeated, leaving behind
them a number of dead and wound
ed.
General Bertani said he had abso-
Lutte information that Villa had been
wounded. The bandit was shot in
the left leg, he said, and was further
injured when his horse fell on him,
breaking the bones of the leg.
He reported detachments of the
American forces at Santa Anna and
Namiquipa.
Both General Gavira and General
Bertani asserted they had no knowl-
edge that limit had been placed on
the operations of American troops in
Mexico.
81 understand, however," General
Bertani added, that the American
forces will be willing to withdraw as
soon as the Villa organizations are
thoroughly broken up"
u Detachments of the Thirteenth
cavalry are hard on the bandits
trail. but no official word has come
from the front to indicate their po-
sition. Mexican reports stated to-
dfy that Villa has a full day ahead
81 his pursuers. If Villa succeeds
in reaching Durango City, he prob
ably will be Joined by the forces of
the Arrieta brothers, who command
more than 1000 men.
A statement attributed to Mexican
Consul Garcia that Villa has now es-
capped any possibility of capture by
the Americans, having crossed dead
line established by President Wilson
and General Carranza. beyond which
it was agreed that the American
troops would not continue their pur-
suit for the bandit, was fatty denied
by Mr.. Garcia. The Mexican consul
said. as far as he knew, no limit of
the American pursuit had been
agreed upon.
Mexican officials here will not dis
cuss a. report that the de facto gov
eminent will soon inform the Ameri-
can Government that 1t is in a posi-
ton to relieve the American troops
of the task of chasing Villa.

CONVINCED DIAZ las
RETURNED TO MEXICO

Washington, April S.-Reports to
the Department OF Justice indicate
that there now is no longer any
doubt that Felix Diaz has landed in
Mexico. Officials have been inform
ed that he is at the head of con-
siderable force in the south Of Mex
leo and has received material aid
through Guatemala. 1t is the first
Official information of the revolu-
tionary leaders whereabouts.
A propaganda in his favor along
the border between the United
States and Mexico is reported. and
number of his adherents there are
under surveillance by the depart
ment agents.
Thus far there has been little def
mite information as to his move
ments or the source from which he
obtained arms and ammunition. 1t
has been fairly well established, off,
cials say, that he received consid-
cradle financial aid in New York.
One OF his adhcrents recently was
traced by department agents to Can
ada and another was said to have
