VII4.A IMND1TS St Kl'KlSKl).
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
