bands. one Of which is moving north to
attack Santa Rosalia, intending to outfit
themselves there for trip across the
desert to Int the American border; an
other has fought its way into ParraI, and
a third, which fought five days and most
OF the nights with Constitutionalist troops
southwest of Jimenez."
This was the information brought to the
border by chief of musicians of the de
facto government military band at Chihua-
hua City. He added Villa had scattered
through the state proclamations stating
that he would hold chihuahua City, con
troll the border rule the state, and have
the American army of General Pcrshing
running out Of Mexico within two months
The bandman said General Trevino has
placed $1,000 troops in the field against
Villa, determined to overwhelm the rebel
forces which are gaining by recruiting at
an alarming rate.
An American who arrived from Santa
Rosalia, chihuahua, said Contreras, with
1900 men, fought his way into Parral, cor
nercd the garrison of Erncsto Garcia until
it was barricadcd in houses, and then
looted part of the town.
At Santa RosaHa the people were wei
coming the Nillistas, whom they considered
friends and defenders of Mexican sovcr-
eighty. Other reports said Villa every
where was summoning men into service
and they appeared willing At Ojos Cali
lcntes, after a stiff fight in which the tiny
garrison was simply overwhelmed by reb-
els, every able-hodied man in town volun-
tarily joined Villa. Villa himself was at
Oios Calientes, said the informant, walking
with crutches among his men.
General Trevino issued a statement at
chihuahua declaring that he and all other
prominent Carranza chiefs were united in
their loyalty to the government He said
it would bc the height of folly to cause
further trouble at a time when the gov
ernmcnt is about to realize the fruition of
its hopes and hard work. As for Villa and
his bandits, Trevino said he was deter
mined to pursue and eXterminate them all
