American Troops Nlny Number in Sit oiul KiiKHKOtiuMit. San Antonio, TojVHH, April 4.- Sur prised (luring their sclsta. otic of the ui'oups. of Villa's forces driven, from (Juerrero, whs defeated Saturday by a squadron of the U>th euvolry, under Col. W. C. Mrown. according to Infor mation obtained by (Jon. lVrstilng and forwarded to (Jen. i'uuston today, In this, the se<*ond engagement. the Anier loan troops have had with Villa's men, the bandits' losses were estimated at from thirty to forty killed. No men tion of American Ions was made. News of the . reported engagement, fought at tin1 vdlngc of AgiUI.H Call eWtes, twenty the miles southeast of Ihu'hlnaha, was brought by friendly Mexicans t<? a point near Hublo, where a detachment of the 10th eavalry, un der command of Major Evans, halted yesterday. At the time (Sen. Pershing sent his dispatch to (Jen. Funston he had not rweived an ottlcial report from Col. Hrown, and the expedition ary commander |>olnted out that re ports of the encounter lacked confirm* atlon. Credence In the news was In dicated. however,, by the. fact that he transmitted It to army headquarters | here. According to the version of the Mex icans who arrived at Major Evans's headquarters. Col. Hrown surprised and attacked the wandering bandits at noon while they were lying about the village, inany*asleep and all of their horses gracing. Other than the num ber reported killed and the fm*t that the American forces captured a num ber of horses, Major Evans's Inform ants were without details of the en- ; counter. A previous report from Major Evans! stated that Col. Hrown Was pursuing the Villa band through the town of San Antonio. . There was much Interest at head quarters here In the light, but It was realized, It was said, that such minor lights may 'take place frequently, their effect being to destroy the morale of Villa's forces, sap their strength, and thus indirectly aid in the effort to cap I tu re the outlaw chieftain. v Then* are known to be other hands o]>e.ratlng In that same part of Mex ico and a part <?f the American forces must remain to deal with them while another part pushes on in the purr suit of the fugitive chief. The action rei>orted south of Bach* inaha served t<? stiffen the opinion of staff officers that if the punitive ex jM'ditlon is to complete its work a great many more troops must be sent into the country, or the Mexican Cen tral Railroad, from Juarez to Chihua hua and through Chihuahua to points further south, must he used to trans |M>rt troops and supplies. The official admission at Gen. Fun* ston's headquarters today that the success of the expedition now depend ed largely on the freer use of the rail roads or the material strengthening of the long round-about line of com munication and Its branches revealed a situation that It was ?*?lleved might alter the entire plan of pursuit. Villa's latest southward shift was credited in official quarters since it" canie from consular reports, in which it was stated the outlaw was located well beyond Chihuahua City and evi dently trying to reach Parral, or per haps even Torreon or Durango City. In the vicinity of all those cities or ganized bodies of Villa's men, aggre gating a strength of some thousands are known to be operating. According to, al ready lias placed a considerable dis tance between himself mid the Ameri cans. To reinforce the line of communica tion maintained would require the call ing of the few regiments left in the United States, other than those en gaged In border patrol duty or sta tioned In the Southern department. None of the troops stationed along the border should be used, In the opinion of army officers here, unless they are replaced by other military units. The only regular regiments that might be called are the 2nd cavalry and the 3rd an^l 12th Infantry. Army men do not believe, however, that the troops along the line of com munication, even If Increased by these three regiments, would be adequate to guard the line If It Is extended east from Guerrero and then south as far a* the chase of Villa might require. Mr. W. O. Hay Is constantly adding to his garage and machine shop and this week reports another machine he has ordered, a --garage press with a capacity of 20 tons, for removing trans mission gears and the like from shafts.
