Ell Paso. Tex, April 4.-Francisco
Villa, unwounded and accompanied by
only eight men, was at Satevo, so
miles south OF Chihuahua City, two
days ago, according to information re-
ceived here from Mexican sources
which usually have proved reliable in
the past.
II this information l. correct 1t bears
out previous reports that the bandit
chief is headed toward Parral and is
leading his American pursuers by at
least go miles. The nearest point to
Satevo which the Americans troops
are known to have reached is San An
tonic, so miles to the northwest.
The route said to have been taken
by Villa is one with which he is thor
oughly familiar and which, indeed, il
known among the poems as 'Pancho's
road" From Guerrero 1t leads across
the continental divide through the
Bachiniba pass into a broad valley,

were instructed TO give information
freely to the American officers, always
provided that the information was

The celebrated Serge de DiaghilcH
Ballet Russo is to include Omaha in
its coast-to-coast tour showing here
at the Auditorium Saturday, Deem
Der 10 for a single performance. As
M. Diaghileff found it impossible to
accompany the troupe this year, the
ballet will be under the artistic d.
rection Of Waslav Nijinsky himself,
who will also dance the leading role
in many OF the ballets. Nijinsky
amazes alike by his prodigious leaps
through the air, his unexampled YER
satility in poetic and emotional in
depreciation and his hawlesS tech
nique.
Ten ballets will be presented ii
the repertoire, each of them exactly
as produced abroad. Among these
will be the sensational novelties
which so startled the connoisser-s of
two continents. A favorite is "Sche-
herazade," the wierd oriental melo-
drama which takes place in harem
Then there is Cleopatra" the exotic
pantomime. featuring the sapphire
queen of the Nile, with the magnif-
cent Flora Revalles in the role of her
majesty, lie Spectre de la Rose,
"Thamar," "Carnaval," "Sadko
prince Igor" and "Papillons' are
other ballets which in turn thrilled
and transfxed the audiences of Eu-
rope. They will be presented here
in their artistic entirety.
A prominent feature of the enter.
tainment will be the costumes and
settings by Europe's famous decora-
tive artist, Leon Bakst. For sheer
barbaric splendor nothing can equal
the jeweled and gilded costumes Of
the oriental ballet "Scheherazade.
For novelty and daring the veiled
garments of cleopatra" are an limo

The company OF artists proper is
headed by Waslav Nijinsky, acknowl-
edged to be the greatest male dancer
now alive. He amazes alike by his
technique, versatility and poetic in
depreciation. NJ. Nijinsky will act
in the dual capacity of premier dan
seur and artistic director. Support
ing him are the dainty Lydia Lopo-
kova, the brilliant Flore Revalles, the
virie Adolf Bolm, the spiritual Cav
riloff and Mesdames Phanz, Sokolova,
Frohman, Spesewecewa and Faithful
and two score ballerinas, each a
skilled graduate of the Imperial Rus
sian Dancing schools.
In the repertoire OF ten ballets
which the company will perform will
be found a trio of world famous SEN
sations, such as art lovers OF this
community have never seen. Fore
most among them will be the gor-
geous "Scheherazade," wild, oriental
orgy set in a harem. In this exotic
tale from the Arabian nights, the dis
satisfied inmates of the Shah Zeman's
harem demand the release of the MI
bian slaves during their masters abb
sence. His untimely return brings
the action to rather unfortunate con-
clusion for the unuxorious wives. Sec
ond on the list of novelties is Il
Apres Midi dun Faune,' pastoral
episode which received the attention
Of the police in more than one conf
| munity last year. 1t depicts the meet
ing of wild wood creature with, a
company of nymphs who startle him
from his rocky ledge.
Cleopatra" considered by many
the most marvellous number in the
repertoire of ballots and admitted to
be Bakst masterpiece of barbaric
splendor, is set in the court of the
sapphire queen of the Nile and it
affords Flore Revalles, the brilliant
mime who is seen in the role OF
Egypts famous queen, an opportunity
of wearing the most sensational gown
in the tntire wardrobe of the troupe
