AMERICAN CAVALRY AGAIN ROUT VILLA BANDITS; THIRTY KILLED San Geronimo, Chihuahua Via aero plane to Colonia Dublan and by wire less to Columbus, N. M. Two hundred American cavalrymen under Colonel W. C. Brown, Tenth cavalry, defeated an equal force of Villistas in the sec ond engagement of the campaign at Aguas Calientes, 80 miles north of Guerrero, on April 1. This report was made to General Pershing Wednesday by two Mexican ranchmen, who said that the Mexican forces lost 30 men and 40 horses, while the Americans suffered no casualties. Villa was not with the band, accord ing to the ranchmen, " who asserted that the American ' troops believed at first they bad encountered the bandit chieftain. An investigation showed that he had not been with the detachment. For hours the American cavalrymen followed Manued Lopez, one of Villa'B JUDGE C. A. DOUGLAS Judge Charles A.

Believing that they had eluded their pursuers the bandits relaxed their vig ilance and before they realized it they were confronted by the troops of the Tenth cavalry, General PerBhing's old regiment, which had been stationed near the town to intercept stray bands attempting to make their escape, Only the most meager details of the ensuing engagement were brought here by the Mexican ranchmen, but in many respects it resembled that of a week ago at San Geronimo. Immedi ately the bandits realized the presence of American troops they began a hur ried, disorganized night from their camp, some seizing their ponies and others trying to make their escape afoot. They went singly and in small parties, all firing at the American troops as they fled. None took aim, the ranchmen said, and as a result none of the bullets found a khaki-clad mark. i Principal Results of Tuesday Elections.

TRAIL Of BANDIT LEADER IS LOST Pershing Now Thought Deceived As to Villa's Injury Systematic : Search to Be Continued. El Paso, Tex. The question of the loyaty of the Carranza troops has again come very near to the fore here folllowing persistent reports-that Col. Cano, the Carranza commander at Namiquipa, has joined Villa. Andres Garcia, the Carranza consul here, has refused to credit these re ports on the ground that Cano is a bit ter personal enemy of Villa, but be admits that nothing has been heard from the Namiquipa commander for more than a week. The only direct information that has come from Namiquipa since then has been a paragraph in a dispatch from Gen. Pershing in which it was stated that half the garrison at the town had disappeared and it was suspected some of them had joined Villa. Americans who arrived here from Chihuahua City Sunday asserted that Col. Cano was with the Villistas de feated near Guerrero by Col. Dodd. San Antonio, Tex. Gen. Funston Sunday was in receipt of State depart ment information in regard to condi tions in Chihuahua and other parts of Mexico, but refused to make it public. It was stated at bis headquarters, how ever, that there appeared to be reason to believe that Col. Cano, who was leading one of the heavier forces against Villa, had revolted agairist Carranza and had joined Villa. San Antonio, Tex. Unless Francis- coiVilla is definitely located within the next day or two it is believed here that Gen. Pershing will begin a dogged search for him in the mountains west and south of Guerrero. Since the defeat of Villa's forces March 29, in and near Guerrero, Gen. Pershing has had lightly equipped mobile detach ments of cavalry sweeping whirling fashion through the district about the headwaters of the Santa Maria river, in efforts to locate the elusive bandit reported to have gone in that direction after being desperately wounded. Gen. Pershing did not get a report through to Gen. Funston Sunday, but his chief of staff reported, indicating that the line of communication was maintained and no mention of the news of Villa was made. There is in creasing belief that Gen. Pershing may have been deceived in regard to the direction taken by Gen. Villa and even concerning his injuries. Some reports indicated that he was not in jured at all and instead of going north east of Guerrero he had moved into the hills to the south and east, a direction American officers had expected him to take. Band Members and Councilmen Mix Over License; Three Stabbed Salem, Ore. In a pitched battle on the streets of Turner Saturday night between members of the Turner band and members of the city council assist ed by partisans of each faction, three men were stabbed, one probably fatal ly. ' Half a score other residents of Tur ner suffered from bruised heads, as a result of being struck by clubs and rocks which were used freely in the melee. The trouble arose during a perform ance of a carnival company, which had been secured by the Turner band to give a benefit entertainment. The band assisted but was stopped by the city marshal on order of the council, because the carnival company had pot paid the $3 license which is required of traveling shows. The bandmen pro tested the council's action and the bitter feelings resulted in a clash in front of the show grounds. Jews Sent to Siberia. Hew York The Russian govern ment has decreed that Jewish hostages from Lemberg and other Galician cit ies, who are now in Kiev, and those who have been expelled from Galicia, must be sent to Siberia, according to information obtained by4he American Jewish committee.

Non Jewish hostages may choose places of residence outside the military sphere. Smyrna Forta Destroyed. London Forts St. George and San Jak, as well as the other coastal de fenses of Smyrna, were destroyed Fri day in a three hours' bombardment by a British warship, says a dispatch to the Times from Saloniki. The Turks did not reply to the fire of the war ships. San Jak is the chief work command ing the entrance to Smyrna harbor. St Geroge is about three miles to the southeast. MILITIA CALLED OUT TO QUELL ; 5000 IN ANTI-CATHOLIC RIOT Haverhill, Mass. The local com pany of state militia was called upon by Mayor Albert L. Bartlett Tuesday night to assist the police in controlling a crowd of 5000 persons concerned in a riotous demonstration in the vicinity of the city hall. Many windows were broken by missiles. The crowd assembled as the result of an attempt to hold the meeting in the city hall for discussion of state aid for sectarian schools. The meeting was regarded as anti-Catholic. Thom as E. Leyden, of Somerville, who was announced as a former Roman Catholic priest, had been advertised as the speaker. When the hour for the meet ing arrived the crowd in front of the hall was so dense that the police decid ed that the meeting could not be held and the doors were closed. For several hours the crowd, in creased, in size by curious citizens, marched up and down the street shout ing and committing various acts of HOWARD H.

Eleven false alarms of fire were rung in as if by a preconcerted plan, from all parts of the city. Finding the police powerless, the mayor decided about 11 o'clock to seek the aid of the militia. The sounding of the militia signal on the fire alarm had the effect of bringing to the scene more thousands, curious as to what ac tion the citizen soldiers would take. One section of the crowd around the building went to the residence of Dr. Herbert E. Wales and attacked the house. Dr. Wales was interested in Ley den's coming here. The residence of Rev. Franklin Babb, another of the promoters of the meeting was treated in similar fashion. Part of the crowd went to the home of Alderman Charles Hoyt, commissioner of public safety, and made a demonstration. The rooms of the National Club were attacked and the furnishings wrecked. Squads of police were sent to guard the residences of the mayor and other members of the city govern ment. Villa, llnwounded, With Only 8 Men, Making Haste to Parral El Paso Francisco Vila, unwounded and accompanied by only eight men, was at Satevo, SO miles south of Chi huahua city, two days ago, according to information received here Tuesday from Mexican sources. If this .information is correct it bears out previous reports that the bandit chief is headed toward Parral and is leading his American pursuers by at least 60 miles. The nearest point to Stevo which the Americans troops are known to have reached is San Antonio, 60 miles to the north west. ' The route said to have been taken by Villa is one with which he is thor oughly familiar and which, indeed, is known among the peons as "Pancho's road." Cold Kills Texas Stock. Dallas, Tex.
