VILLA PURSUIT GOES ON Pershing to Continue Acting Under Original Instructions General Gomez Headed Toward Ex pedition Communications, t?AN ANTONIO. Tex.. April 13. From Columbia. N. M., to points near the Chihuahua-Durango state line, Amer ican troops increased their vigilance today against attacks from any quar ter. Word that Carranza has requested the opening of negotiations looking to their withdrawal went up and down the line of communication and forward to the camps of the detached cavalry col umns that have penetrated the hills and mountains beyond Parral in th search of Villa. No communication went to them and will not until the War Department has communicated the news and its wishes to General Funston, but orders have been sent from her to take all pre cautions against attack. Parral Affair Not Reported. General Funston received no report from General Pershing regarding the reported Parral incident and late to day he knew no. more of that develop ment than was contained in the re port sent forward By Consul Letcher from Chihuahua and that given in press dispatches from Washington. It was assumed that the commanding officer of the American detachment was Major Tompkins, who it was be iievea raignt be naving difficulties in setting his reports of the incident back to General Pershing. Major Tompkins had with him no field wireless and a courier would have been necessary for me communication of his report. Conflict Is Regretted. That a conflict between American troops and Mexicans other than those of Villas organization had occurred was regretted at headquarters. but confidence was expressed in the ability of the commander of the detachment that entered Parral to explain the in cident. All officers in the expedition ary columns have been cautioned not to provoke conflict with peaceful residents of Mexico or with troops of the de facto government and officers at headquarters do not believe that the incident at Parral- will alter the atti tude of the men in the field. Officers here are confident that -any conflict that might come will be the result of aggression by a Mexican force. Until ordered to act otherwise Gen eral Pershing will continue uninter ruptedly and without material change of plan his pursuit of Villa, but he also will be expected to carry out General Kunston's orders to look closely after the guarding of his lines of communi cations. He will investigate all Mexi can troop movements, whether of Villa bandits or de facto government troops. Scouts to Watch Mexicans. General Funston said late today that he had ordered scouts to watch for the forces of General Arnulfo Gomez, reported yesterday to be preparing to move southeast toward Casas Grandes, with the ostensible intention of join ing in the pursuit of Villa, From the direction which Army of ficers thought Gomez would take, if he does move, it was "pointed out that the general could cut the American line of communication. MEXICAN GOVERNOR HONEST Vncntan Situation Unaffected Hint of Bribe. WASHINGTON, April 13. Leo C. Brown, secretary to the New Orleans bankers who are financing the Tucatan "sisal planters explained to the Senate investigating committee today a report that the bankers had authorized a grat uity of $500,000 to Governor Alvarado, of Yucatan, for their elsal contract. The reports reached the committee through Senator Curtis through an af fidavit of Kansas sisal buyers that Mr. Brown had told them he had been pre pared to make the offer, but that the Mexican governor had refused. Mr. Brown said that when the advances to the governor met no responses he had inquired from a minor official If It could be effected by the payment of a bribe. The official had told him It BANISH JCROFULA Hood's Sarsaparllla Cleanses the Blood, Skin Troubles Vanish. Scrofula eruptions on the face and body are both annoying and disfigur ing. Many a complexion would be per fect if they were not present.

Ask your druggist for Hood's Sarsa parilla. This great medicine complete ly eradicates scrofula. It purifies and enriches the blood, removes humors and builds up the whole system. It em bodies the careful training, experience and skill of Mr. Hood, a pharmacist for fifty years, in its quality and power to cure. Scrofula is either inherited or ac quired.

EXPLOIT IS PAINFUL ONE Seventh Cavalry Use Up Horses Rapid Movement and Are Un able Effectively to Pursue Defeated Villistas. in CAMP OF J. J. PERSHING, AT THE FRONT IN MEXICO. April 8. (By aeroplane and motor couriers to Co lumbus. N. M.. April 13.) The recent march on Guerrero was one of the most painful of the cavalry exploits on ac count of intense cold. The officer who brought the dis patches was with the machine gun platoon, but acted as a messenger dur ing the fighting. He said the march on Guerrero, 55 miles, began about noon Tuesday, March 28, proceeding until about dark, when a brief halt was made. After dark the 10 troops of the Seventh Cavalry in the exploit, resumed their march. Late at night It became exceedingly cold, and when the men finally reached San Antonio, about 12 miles from Guerrero, they were all shivering. At San Antonio there was a long stop, while the guides were being found. Villa Perbapa Pained on Way. Finally after a delay which made it impossible to reach Guerrero before daylight, the march was resumed. It was so dark that houses 100 feet from the road could not be distinguished from the background of hills and moun tains. Although they did not hear of it that night, some of the officers of the Seventh were Informed a few days afterward that Villa was believed to have been at a houee within two miles of San Antonio the night when the American column passed on its way to Guerrero. As the Americans took up their posi tions at three points about Guerrero, the officer stationed with the machine guns said that he could look down into the city, which is spread over a wide expanse.- From the plaza, and from most of the houses, he saw men run ning. Everywhere horses were being eaddled hurriedly. Before the American surrounding movement was complete two columns of men rode out of Guerrej-o. Each of them carried the Mexican flag, the same which the Carranzistas bear. Word went along the American lines not to fire on the Mexican flag. Two Captains, James Fechet and Rush Wells, were sent forward to demand the identity of the two columns. Captain Fechet received no reply to his de mand, but Captain Wells was fired on. VUIiHtas Scatter and Flee. The Americans swung into action as fast as their tired horses would take them, while the Villistas scattered, all in flight, some in twos and threes, sniping as they retreated from rock to rock. The vniistas formed three times as if to make a stand, but gave up- each time without a fight. The Ameri cans followed, riding a short distance on their horses and then dismounting to fire. It was difficult for the Americans to overtake the Villistas, because of the long march the cavalrymen had made to reach Guerrero. For this rea son the machine gun platoon was un able to get into action at close range. From a hill these guns swept an area about 2000 yards wide and 2000 yards deep. Observers with the guns saw horses in the distance lying prone where the guns had sprayed their fire. The machine guns also followed the retreating bandits, but on account of their long march had difficulty in keeping up with the fresh horses of the Villistas.
