Refusal lo Restore Interned German Vessels Stitd in the T: r. River She Is the four leenlh Power lo Be Involved ii the Present War El Paso, March 9. Descending suddenly upon Col- J umbus, New Mexico, at 4 o'clock this morning, Villista bandits killed four American soldiers and seven citizens,1 wounded many others and burned several buildings. Many bandits were killed, so Brigadier General Pershing re ported. The Thirteenth Cavalry, stationed near Columbus, drove the Mexicans across the border a.'ter a sharp skir mish. Colonel Slocum, cominm'.int; the cavalry, declared that many dead Mexicans litter; -i Vis streets this morning. Four hundred Villistas delivered the attack under cover of darkness on tv.o sides of Columbus. The Mexi cans, by firing from the streets into the houses, aroused the Americans. Several we-e shot while running from their doorways, and others fell in the sharp fighting before the raiders were driven acro?r, the border three miles away. P.umors that several guests perished in the burning of the Commercial Hotel were di-jcedited. James Gean and hi'; wife were both killed while defending their home. T. C. Miller was slain in his drug store, and W. T. Ritchey. pro prietor of the hotel, was shot while attempting to ckfend his property. Three other civilians gave their lives while' aiding the troops. Cavalrymen stationed nearby arrived quickly, and th fighting lasted two hours. The Americans dragsred ma chine guns into the streets and sprayed the bandits with lead. Some declared Villa himself led the raiders. He had Leen encamped fcr two days at Paloma, across the border The Mexicans, who were mounted, retreated precipitately. leaving nearly 40 dead. . i AMERICANS TROOPS IN MEXICO. J Washington. March 9. Americans troons have pn- tered Mexico and are pursuing the fleeing Villistas after the Columbus raid. The State Department is considering asking General Can-anna to permit the American troops to assist in running down Villa and other bands. GERMAN ATTACKS ARE REPULSED. Paris, March 9. Repeated heavy German attacks against Bethincourt were repulsed, so the communique said. An artillery fire lasting two hours preceded two or the heaviest assaults. The Germans vainly attempted to dislodge the French from the Corheanx wnds. The French curtain of fire from Gooe Hill shattered the German at tempts against that position. The French consolidated and reconquered positions in the Corbeaux woods. Intense ar tillery fighting at other points is reported throughout the right, and violent assaults were freauent. Paris claimed these were completely repulsed, and 20 Germans were cap tured in the Le Petre woods. There is a continued bom bardment of Germnn corrrnrnications in the Argonne. WAR DECLARED ON PORTUGAL, Berlin, March 9. Germany declared war on Portugal today, following the Portuguese refusal to restore interned German ships which they seized in the Tagus River. Por tugal's refusal was handed to Germany Saturday, and the contents were disclosed today. She is the fourteenth power involved in the war. The Portuguese navy consists of one .econd class, four third class cruisers. 15 gunboats, five de stroyers, four torpedoboats, cne submarine and 6C00 men The standing army numbers 30.000. and the Colonial Guard 8000. Their total war strength on land is 260.000 men. The ship seizures, the German statement asserted v. ere not justified on the grounds of necessity. They were rcized in a fashion which must be considered as an inter national provocation. The German flag was hauled down and the Portuguese emblem hoisted, while the warships saluted. A long series of Portuguese neutrality violations is listed, including the giving to two British warships per mission to remain in ports longer that privileged under the law. It is also charged that the British are permitted to use Madeira Island as a naval base. BRITISH WARSHIPS AVOIDED. Amsterdam. March 9. Several fast German scout c ruisers, with disguised auxiliary vessels, which conducted a successful recormaiance in the North Sea. returned with out encountering ?' British warships, so Berlin dispatches reported. The tr; lers mistook these for dreadnauehts. This is thought to o:pia:n the story that the uerman :ice, had left Kiel, seeking the British.
