VILL1STA BAND LOSES IN UNEXPECTED FIGHT WITH TENTH CAVALRY Colonel Brown Leads Detach ment Which Surprises Ban dit Party at Noon. 30 TO 40 WERE KILLED tmerlcens Suffered Ho Casualties in Action Beport Sid Wot Bay How Many Prisoner Were Taken. Pan Antonio, Texas, April 6. (I.- N. 8.) Colonel V. S. Brown, command ing a iletachment of the Tenth cavalry, nwooped 1own upon a band of Villis tas near Bachinina on April 1; killed BO or 40 and took a number of pri soners. There were no casualties whatever among the Americans. This information was- contained in an unconfirmed report to Major Gen- eral Funston at San Antonio from General Pershing yesterday. General Pershing said that he had rot heard directly from Colonel Brown for several days, but that he expected details today. I The fight was a repetition of the brilliant engagement led by Colon! Eodi near Guerrero on Monday of last week when the main body Of Villa's forces was routed after 60 had beeti . killed. Attack Surprised the Villistas. 'Colonel Brown, however, success fully negotiated a surprise attack at fioon, instead of at dawn, as was the ca.'o with Colonel Iodd. Just how many prisoners were taken Is not made known in the report, given out by General Funston, but it is said a considerable quantity of ammunition and equipment, including horses, was taken. Bachlnlba Is S5 miles northeast of Guerrero. The Villistas -are said to have been en route eastward from Chihuahua City. It Is believed they were en deavoring to reach the Mexican North western and destroy such parts of te line as may be used to send supplied to the extreme advance guard. Report Comes by Courier. The report came by courier from Rubio, from General Pershing. It said that the detachments of cavalry which engaged the Villistas were still in pur suit of tfie flying bandits, racing them through the San Antonio country. Unless further details of the fight determine the whereabouts JT Villa, the problem confronting the army, the state department and the White House, will be much intensified. General Funston expects General Pershing's troops to get Villa ulti mately, but when, where and how, is now the Insistent feature. The line of communication is now over 300 miles long and the advance columns are going ahead as if to meet -a hurry call at Panama- EASTERN SENATORS PLEDGE SUPPORT TO CHAMBERLAIN BILL fOmtlnoert Prom Pae One.) eupport of the provisions of the Cham berlain bill.

GERMAN AIM IN WAR TOLft BY H0LLWEG (Continued Prom Pare One.) that, after the end of this war, we will rush against the American continent and attempt to conquer Canada as our first province," said Hollweg. "This is the silliest of all the Impu tations Invented against us. There are equally ailly reports that we have contemplated acquisition of any terri tory on American soil, either in Brazil or In any American cojintry whatso ever. Fight for the Future. "We fight for our existence, for our future, for Germany, but no foot of foreign soil in either Brazil or any American country whatsoever. Ger many's sons are bleeding and dying on the battlie fieldi Every one of us knows this. That makes our hearts strong, oir nerves strong. Its moral strengthens our will, not only in order to weather the final storm, but also for the final victory," In the most comprehensive speech of the war, : delivered before a crowded relchstag. Von Bethman-Hollweg re viewed miltary and political situations, the means of conducting further war fare, and: German relations with the United States. : He explained the kaiser's attitude toward different European national ities, Belgian, Lithuanian, Polish and Flemish. It was doubly necessary, he declared, to guarantee Europe's peace after the war, so that these peoples would have a chance for free evolu tion, speaking their own mother tongue, and developing their natural individuality. Xd by Spirit of TTnion. "A spirit of union shall lead us," be said, as his speech was concluded, amid great cheering, "and it shall lead our children and grandchildren through their struggles toward a future of strength and liberty." "Since I last addressed you," said the Imperial chancellor, "our enemies' en terprise at the Dardanelles ha failed. With our Bulgarian and Austrian allies we have brought the Serbian campaign to a victorious end. Montenegro and Albania are likewise in the bands of our allies. The British have vainly en deavored to relieve their besieged forces at Kut-el-Amara. Russians' oc cupied Erzerum with superior forces, but strong armies of our Turkish al lies checked further advances. Sussian Attack, rail. "Russian attacks against Austrians In eastern Galicla and Italian attacks all along the Isonzo front have been beaten back. The Russian columns broke down before Field Marshal von Hlndenburg and his heroes. The en emy's reports that Germany's military power is exhausted are erroneous, as our victories at Verdun prove. Opera tions there were prepared with pro found foresight and the bravery of the Germans continues to gain advantages for us." -Starvation Plan Fails. Discussing the situation of Germany, the chancellor declared with great pos itiveness that the "starvation plan" of the entente allies had failed. "We recognize." he said, "that living conditions are not easy; but our diffi culties have been borne In admirable fashion, particularly by the poorer classes. Our winter crops are the best in many years. The harvest of 1915 was the worst In decades, nevertheless we had bread and corn enough to leave us a good reserve on entering the new year.

American Vote Unanswered. "For this purpose," he said, "they are violating the commercial trade of neutrals. The American note of No vember S gave an exact description of the English violation of the law of nations, but so far as I know that note never has been answered. "No even minded neutral, whether he "favors us or not, can doubt our right to defend ourselves against this war of starvation which is contrary to all International law. No one can ask to allow our arms of defense to be wrested from us. We use them and must use them." In this reference the chancellor re ferred to Germany's use of Zeppelins and submarines. Will Retain Poland. -At the outbreak of the war." he said, "neither Germany nor Austria ex pected to touch the Polish question. The fate of battle forced our hand. Now the problem stands before the world and Germany and Austria have decided to solve it. Our victory wilj never auow tnings to remain as mey were." The German chancellor touched brief ly on the question of Belgium. "There must be a new Belgium," he asserted, but he did not In detail out line Germany's Intentions toward the country. He did declare, however, that it must not be expected that Germany will ever deliver into Russian hands the captured provinces of Poland. Wont B Europe's Scapegoat. "The allies want Germany to be as small a she was centuries ago," said he, "when she wa a prey to all the lusts of domination by her neighbors. They want us to be Europe's scape goat, to be beaten back forever beyond hope of reviving. The only desire of 1 Germany is to save herself: not to an nihilate other races; to rescue Europe." The chancellor spoke of the bravery of the German soldiers, and recalled a visit to the front, where he met the kaiser. "Deep gratitude toward God, toward the army and the ilatlon filled the em peror's heart," He concluded, amid cheers. Pittsburgers Agree To Boycott John D.
