Ell Paso, Tex. April 4.-The capture
of Villa-the trapping of American
troops-an uprising of all factions
against the United States involving
the overthrow of Carranza-all these
things appear to rest in the hands of
Gen. Luis Herrera. He has been foe
of villa but recently was reported to
have quit Chihuahua at the head Of
force of 1900 men.
Monday 1t was said Herrera had
taken lis stand at the key to the
route along which Villa is fleeing
from Dodd's cavalry and the infantry
and artillery which numbers along in
the rear all part of Gen. Pershing's
expeditionary force.
1t may be Herreras intention to
before Pershing's men arrive. At the
same time. 1t is pointed out here, the
common resentment against Ameri-
can invasion may have served to weld
together these once inveterate enc
mics. There are rumors of negotia-
lions between Herrera and Villa
which, II true, might mean disaster
even massacre-for the Americans
who are 800 miles south of the border
and GO miles behind villa. The ban
dts flight is taking him along
route at the salient point'of which he
must choose whether to make for Chi
huahua Or Parral-and at that point
he will encounter Herrera
Absence of definite news concern
ing both Gen. Zapata and Gen. Diaz,
nephew of the former president, cause
fear here that the three will combine
with more than 10000 men under
them and fight the Americans.
