GRANTS USE OF RAILROAD
PROMPTLY GIVES HIS PERMIS-
SION UPON RENEWED RE-
QUEST OF U. S.
moves the Necessity Of Maintain
ing 200 Mile Motor Line.

Washington One of the army's
most serious problems in hunting
Villa was solved when General Car
rama promptly granted the renewed
request Of the state department fol-
permission to use the Mexican North
western railroad in carrying out the
pursuit.
General CarranZa received the new
request in the morning; his answer
was in Washington before dark. 1t
was contained in a brief message
from John L. Rodgers, special agent
of the United States at Queretaro,
saying the head Of the de facto gov
! eminent agreed to the commercial
use of the line. Officials here assum-
ed he would be equally prompt in
notifying his officers on the border
and that General Funston might be-
J gin shipment at once
Although the army will proceed to
use the railroad on commercial
basis. which is construed here as
meaning that all service shall be paid
for at regular rates, the state depart:
ment will negotiate further with Car
rama to bring about a more definite
understanding. The response is re-
garded as being satisfactory in a
measure, but in order to assure the
delivery Of supplies along the line
General Funston will desire to place
guards on the trains.
War department officials were
greatly relieved by the removal of the
necessity for maintaining motor
truck supply line over desert roads
for a distance of more than 200 miles
cloudburst or great storm might
render the roads impossible for a
considerable time, cutting off the
troops from their source of supplies
at the border.
While the physical condition of the
Mexican Northwestern is not good,
many bridges having been destroyed
during the years of revolution in
Mexico, army engineers should have
little difficulty in keeping it open.
Other details of the protocol sug-
gested by General Carranza, state de- |
partment officials indicated, may not |
be completed until the expedition has |
accomplished it's purpose and return
ed. 1t will serve, however, as the |
legal basis for the adjustment of all |
claims arising out of the use of /
American troops to pursue Villa.

tions Since Battle.
San Antonio. Texas.-Unless Fran
cisco Villa is definitely located within
the next day or two, it is believed here
that General Pershing will begin a
search of the mountains west and
south Of Guerrero. Since the defeat
of Villas forces March % in and near
Guerrero. lightly equipped detach-
ments of cavalry have been sweeping
in whirlwind fashion through the dis
trict about head waters of the Santa
Maria River trying to locate the elus-
i've bandit, reported to have gone in
that direction after being desperately
wounded.
General Pershing did not get a re-
port through to General Funston dur
ing the day. but his chief of staff did,
indicating that the line Of communica-
ton was maintained. No mention of
news of Villa was made. There is in
creasing belief that General Pershing
may have been deceived as to the di-
rection taken by Villa and even con-
corning his injuries.

CAN0 AND BANDITS

OiSPOSES OF RUMOR THAT COL
ONEL CANO HAD DESERTED
TO VILLA.
KILLS LEADER OF THE BAND
That Some Supplies and Forage Is Be-
ing Obtained "Off the Country" by
y. S. Cavalry is Encouraging.

shington.-Evidence of cO-Opera
zion by Carranza troops with American
forces hunting Villa, apparently dis
posing finally of rumOrs that Colonel
SCano has deserted to Villa came to
the war department from General Per
shing. He reported an engagement on
March 20, presumably near Geuerrero,
between CanO's troops and one Of the
bands into which Colonel Dodd scatter
ed the main Villa force.
AS this clash, in which Manuel
-Boco, leader Of the outlaws. is said to
have been killed, occurred the same
day that Colonel Dodd struck the Villa
army, officials were convinced the Car
rama columns were actively cooper
ating with the Americans.
This seems to dispose finally of
ahe rumors of disloyalty on the part
OF Colonel Cano," Secretary Baker
said in formal statement. Previous
reports had caused officials to doubt
Cano's loyalty, and General Pershing's
dispatch was received with great salts
faction.
The fact that three days elapsed
after the 48-hour-old report of Colo
mel DOdd's engagement. before news
came of the Cano fight renewed hopes
that important subsequent events
have not yet been reported to head
quarters.
That some supplies and forage for
the cavalry, even If of poor quality.
were being obtained ''off the country"
by General Pershing's forces was an
other encouraging feature Of the lat
est report. The general said corn of
inferior quality was plentiful and that
beef cattle in sufficient quantity had
been secured.
The state department officially de-
MED report that inquiry had been
made Of General Carranza regarding
troop movements in northern Mexico. |
Neither the state nor the navy depart f!
ment had disquieting information Of
any kind.

EsPEE SERVICE IS PRAISED.
Compliment Is Passed Along to the
 "Men Behind"

The efficient service of the Southern Pacific in moving six troop trains from Nogales to San Antonio, via. Tucson, during the recent Mexican troubles is high ly praised in a letter from Brig adler General George Bell to Trainmaster c. M. Murphy, says the Arizona Star.
 The six trains left Tucson on an average of twenty minutes apart and arrived in El Paso on an average of five minutes apart. In his letter General Bell says:
 want again to extend to you and your Mr. Barton my thanks for your kindness to me while in Tucson. I enjoyed my hours stay there very much, whereas, had it not been for you gentlemen, it would be very dull.
 l also want to thank yO1 for and congratulate you on your excelellent train service during the recent troop movements of the Seventh and Twentieth re- giments of Infantry and my headquarters from Nogales to Fort Sam Houston. Everything possible was done by your com pany to expedite and make com fortable our trip and we found nothing wanting"
 Commenting on service of this charact we must concede that the major credit for a per- formance of this kind is due to the train and engine men and who handled the trains referred to says Super T. H. Williams of the Tucson division.
