General Crosses Border.
There was considerable mystery to-
day over the reported crossing of the
border by General YneZ Salazar, the
former Huerta general who has been
living here and is said to have gone
into Mexico with avowedly hostile in
tentiOns toward the United States.
The police announced they believed
the report true. Mrs Salazar denied,
however, that her husband had enter
ed Mexico
In the meantime proclamation was
discovered, purpOrting to be signed by
Salazar, in which he called all pa
triotic MeXicans to join him in the
protection Of Mexican soil. Elfego
Baca, who defended Salazar at his
trial for gun-running, declared that
the signature to the proclamation was
undeniably genuine.
The proclamation said in part:
THE attitude Of CarranZa, always
hostile to every individual, corpora
ton or party not subseryient to him,
which maintains in exile the most cul-
tured, honest and well-to-do portion
of the Mexican family; the anarchy
created by the very party that sarcas-
tically calls itself constitutional
Their inability to run down bandits
who, like Villa, are the opprobrium
CT the nation and an eternal stain in
cur history, being at least the cause Of
the North American invasion of our
beloved soil, impels me again to spring
to the armed struggle, determined to
do all l can for the salvation of our
country and our honor"
General Petronillo Hernandez, with
forces variously estimated at from
! 900 to 5000 men, was scheduled to
arrive in JuareZ today to take over the
General Gayira, according to informa-
ton from Mexican sources. Accord
ing to the same sources General Ga
vira will go to Casas Grandes, where
he will be assigned field command.
The constant maneuvering Of Car
rama troops between points close to
the border seems to be growing on
the nerves of the people Of FL Paso.
1t is favorte topic of discussion.
1t is known that these troop move
ments have been closely watched by
government troops along the border
and that frequent reports are being
made to Washington, but federal Off
Gals profess to be in the dark in re-
gard to their meaning.
Carranza to Ask Withdrawal!
An American formerly in close
touch with the Mexican government
said he believed Carranza was pre-
pairing to take advantage of the clause
in the agreement with Washington
over the Villa pursuit which provides
that the American troops withdraw as
soon as the de facto government can
cope with the situation.
IF CarranZa can mass $4,000 or
10000 soldiers In northern Chihuahua
and Sonora" he said, "he can con-
tend with good show OF reason that

Capital Is Optimistic.
Washington, April 10.-Optimism for
the early capture of Francisco villa
pervaded official circles today despite
the fact that nearly week has passed
since news of the operations of the
American troops in Mexico has come
to the war department.
Many officials were of the oninion
that important military DEVELOPMENTS
may have occurred and that it was i'm
possible for the extreme advancing COL
umns, last reported close on Villas
heels near Satevo, to communicate with
their field base.
Eliseo Arredondo, ambassador desig-
nate of the de facto government of
Mexico, today received a telegram from
Mexico City advising him that official
notice has been given by his govern
ment that no further contracts will be
made with foreign firms for arms and
ammunition, in view of the fact that
the recently established national works
are now capable of supplying the en-
tire demand of the government
Overnight dispatches from General
Funston to the war department made
public by Secretary Baker TODAY were
summarized in the following state
ment:
THE latest dispatch from General
Pershing, dated April s, explains in
frequency of communication by saying
that the wireless has not been able to
work and aeroplane communication
has been difficult because of lack of
suitable landing places
The dispatch again confirms the
early report of Villa being severely
wounded in the right knee.
General Pershing reports that he
has had a very satisfactory conference
with General Herrera and expects to-
day to meet General Gutierrez to whom
he sent messages by aeroplane to
Chihuahua and received replies offer
ing full cooperation. General Perish
ing's comment is that every indication
shows the desire of the troops of the
| de facto government to aid to the ex-
tent of their ability.
AerOplane Is Disabled.
i General Pershing further reports
that one aeroplane was badly disabled
in landing April 6. leaving only five
out of the original eight now in service
