VILLA, BEATEN
BY CARRANZA'S
MEN, IS FLEEING
(Continued From Page One.)
it was preventing the arrival of any
news from the battlefield.
Wo Word Prom Battle.
The train, dispatcher of the Mexico
Northwestern railroad, located near
where the fighting was reported as oc
curring, said he had received no word
since last night. It was not ascer
tained whether the wires have been cut
or whether Carranzista officials are
withholding Information.
In- order to trap Villa if he escaped
the central American column. General
Pershing sent squadrons of cavalry
toward Habrlcora and Carmen on
either side of Namlqulpa. One of
them should be within striking dis
tance of Villa today or tomorrow.
several aeroplanes accompanying
the expedition spent the night near
Ascencion, within a few hours flight
of Kamiquipa, possibly to assist the
reinforcements in locating Villa,

The only sure way to get rid of

Do this tonight, and by morning,

tie as a concrete denial of reports that
Carranza was disposed to let Villa get
away, in order to give him an equal
chance against the Americans.
Gavira intimated that the American
expedition had established Its base of
operations near Casas Grandee. Re
ports that the garrison there was going
to Juarez were unconfirmed. Kven if
large bodies of Carranzistas placed
themselves between . the American ex
pedition and the border, it was pointed
out that thousands of soldiers at Fort
Bliss and Columbus were ample protec
tion against the Implied threat. There
is no sign of friction between de facto
government troops and Americans.
About T000 U. Troops Cross Idas.
It was reported that in return for
President Wilson's aid at the battle
of Agua Prieta, Carranza would permit
the United States to use Mexican rail
roads for military purposes- There
was no confirmation of this from
Queretaro, the temporary capital.
American troops are continuing to
march into Mexico from Columbus.
The number now pursuing Villa is up
wards of 7000.
Zl Paso Thrilled by Hew.
The news of tne fighting sent a
thrill through El Paso last night such
as had not been experienced since the
last time Juarez was taken.
First a wireless leak told that Persh
ing had reported to Funston that Car
ranzistas had engaged Villa at Las
Cruces and defeated him.
Then General Gavlera. commander of
the Juarez garrison, began getting
messages over the Mexican federal
telegraph lines.
The Information was only fragment
ary during the first hours. At 6:30
o'clock Mexican Consul Andres Garcia
rushed breathlessly into the Interna
tional News Service bureau with this
dispatch:
"Colonel Cano engaged Villa in bat
tle at Namiqujpa. district of Guerrero,
Chihuahua. Hard fighting started at
4:30 o'clock."
General Pershing's first wireless to
General Funston was sent from Gal
eana. He is believe? to have been
working south when couriers from the
Carranzistas brought news of the
, fighting.
It Is evident that he did not expect
Villa to stand and fight, as he has
done at Namlqulpa. This theory is
based on the disposition of United
States troops in an effort to entrap
the bandit.
One detachment was sent to Carmen
on the Rio Carmen, which is east and
considerably to the north. These men
are believed by army strategists here
to have been recalled.
nylng Squadron Bear yighting.
The flying squadron which started
for El Valle Is moving In a direct line
south for- Namlqulpa.
The distance to be covered is near
ly 30 miles, but the roads are good and
they should have been within range
of the fighting by midnight.
The dispatching of a strong detach
ment along the trail to Babicora In
dicates that General Pershing was ful
ly informed of the intention of Villa
to go in that direction. This detach
ment is believed to run a better chance
of getting a shot at the bandit (.nd
his army than any of the others.
Yesterday General GavTera's infor
mation placed a part of the American
advance at Cumbre, the point near
which the Cumbre tunnel disaster oc
curred. This is just 120 miles south
west of Columbus, the starting point.
Another, force was at Alamo, 10
miles south in a straight line from
Galeana and 110 miles from the bor
der. Alamo Is on the Santa Maria
river, 30 miles east of the railroad.
The guard of the American force
was at Casas Grandes, 100 miles south
of the border.
Pears for Carranza Garrison.
Thr is a Carranza garrison at
Santa Aha, 25 miles south of Naml
qulpa. As the column of Vlllistas
from the south which reinforced their
chieftain at Namlqulpa, came over
this route, some apprehension is felt
about them. It is certain that they
either ran away or Joined the Vil
lista column.

Railroad to Panama'
. 1 Canal Is Necessary
General Slbext Tells Oakland Chamber
Ooreramemt Xoad Is Btrateglo Heces
sity to Protect Great Waterway.
Oakland. Cal.. March 21. (P. N. S.)
A government railroad from SI Paso
or some other border city to, the Pan
ama canal Is one of the great military
necessities of the United States, and
will ultimately come, in the opinion
of Brigadier General William I. Slbert,
U. S. A.
General Slbert spoke on the need and
Importance of the canal's defenses be
fore the Oakland Chamber of Com
merce. "This country will have to operate
railroads through .Mexico and the Cen
tral American republics for military
purposes, so that we will be able to
transport supplies and - men to the
canal zone without depending entirely
upon sea lanes," he said.
He declared that the canal was by
far the most valuable outlying posses
sion of the United States, and it was
the plain duty of the country to take
adequate steps to protect it.
He said the canal was of the greatest
strategical importance, and like all
such points, would be the first objec
tive of an enemy. For that reason, it
would have to be doubly guarded and
defended by every means known to
military science, of which a strategi
cal railroad is one of the most im
portant. Besides needing some great volun
teer force, he declared, for the country,
we need a permanent" force for the
protection of the canal and Honolulu.

According to Dr. Lane, the secretary
has come to California on a recreation
trip and to visit his relatives in Berke
ley, where he attended the University
of California. It was denied that his
visit was in connection with official
duties.
Plans are being made by friends on
both sids of the bay for his enter
tainment. To Destroy Guns;
Will SeU Watches
Deputy District Attorney Pierce has
figured out a way to legally dispose of
the. guns and watches and trinkets that
hava been taken from the bodies of
suicides end unknown dead persons in
the course of the last 20 or 30 years
and placed In the custody rt the county
treasurer.
The stuff has been accumulating
until County' Treasurer John Lewis
wants to get rid of It.
The law provides that valuables
taken from . unclaimed ; dead bodies
shall be turned. " over to the county
treasurer to- be. sold, the proceeds be
placed in a trust fund for the benefit
of the estates of such persons.
Mr. Pierce has decided It would be
lgal to hare the stuff, except the
guns, appraised as a whole and offered
for sal i ' As the city ordinances pro
hibit the sale of firearms except by
permit of the chief of police. Mr. Pierce
holds it would be legal to destroy the
guns.
County Treasurer Lewis probably
will proceed along this line.
