STORIES0F VILLA ] NOT RELIABLE
May Not Be Wounded and Probably ! Went South Instead of North.
 General Pershing Deceived?

1 San Antonio, Tex, April 2.-Unless Francisco Villa is definitely located within the next day or two it is be- lieved here that General Pershing will begin dogged search for him in the mountains west and south of Guerrero Since the defeat of Villas force March p in and near Guerrero lightly equip ped mobile dettachments of cavalry have been sweeping in whirlwind fashion through the district about the head waters of the Santa Maria in ef- forts to locate the elusive bandit, re- ported desperately wounded. 7 General Pershing did not report to General Funston today, but his chief Of staff reported, indicating that the line of communication is maintained. No mention of Villa was made.
 There is increasing belief that Gen. eral Pershing may have been deceived in regard to the direction taken by Villa, and even concerning his injur-- ies. Some information has been re- ceived indicating that he was not in jured at all, and that instead of go- ing northeast of Guerrero he moved into the hills to the southeast. The new information is not regarded more credible than that which caused the cordon of troops to be drawn across every exit from the district northeast of Guerrero, and it was believed here that General Pershing would not adopt any new plan until he had thor oughly satisfied himself Villa was net in the indicated region.
 Believes Villa Went South.
 Failure to run him down since We'd nesday strengthened the belief that he is south of the railroad, and if General Pershing has to send his scouts and cavalry into that country, broken by mountain and sparsely settled, it was realized that slew progress would be made.
 General Funston received infOrmat- ion today regarding the conditions at
 
 Chihuahua and ether parts of Mexico, but refued to make it public. It was stated at his headquarters that there appeared to be reason tS believe that Colonel Cane, who was leading one of the heavy forces against Villa, had revolted against Carranzza and had joined Villa.
 Another story that has come out Of Mexico that has been given some ere dence at army headquarters was that Villa is headed for Chihuahua City. The advanced cavalry is not far from Chihuahua.
