Mr.. Sanderson was told that Mr..

San Antonio. Tex, April 2-tlnless .
Francisco villa is definitely located
within the next day or two it is be-
lieved here that General Pershins,
will begin a dosged search for him
in the mountains west and south of
Guerrero.
Since the defeat of Villas forces
March 80, in and near Guerrero,
General Pershing has had lightly
equipped attachments of cavalry
sweeping in whirlwind fashion
through the headwaters Of the San
ia Maria river, in efforts to locate
the elusive bandit. reported to have
gone in that direction after being
desperately wounded.
Nav Not BE Wounded.
General Pershing did not get re-
port through to General Funston to-
day but his chief of staff reported,
indicating that the line of communl-
cation was being maintained and no
mention of news of villa was made.
There is increasing belief that Gen
era Pershing may have been deceived
in regard to the direction taken by
villa and even concerning his injur-
les. Some reports indicate that he
was not injured at all and instead
of going northeast of Guerrero he
had moved into the hills to the south
and east, direction American army
officers had expected him to take.
VIII search Region.
The new information is not re-
garded as more credible than that
which caused the Gordon of troops
TO be drawn across every exit from
the district northeast Of Guerrero.
and it was believed here that Gen
eral Pershing would not adopt any
new plan until he had thoroughly
satisfied himself villa was not in the
indicated region.
Failure to run villa down since
Wednesday strengthened the belief
that he is south or the railroad and
If General Pershing has to send his
scouts and cavalry into that country

tied, 1t was realized that slow prog
ress would be made.
