General Pershing to Lead U. S. Forces
Into Mexico to Round Up Outlaw
Leader and His Band, Now
in Chihuahua' District
Campaign Laid to Close in
La Ascension Villa Expected to Retreat to His
Old Stronghold in Treacherous Mountains
EL PASO, Texas, March 11.
Francisco Villn, upon whose head the United Stntes has put a ptico for j
the murder of Americans along the Mexican frontier, has been defeated in I
his attempt to cut off a trninload of Americans fleeing from Chihuahua state.
Carranza troops intercepted his bnnd.
The Mexican forces, under General Bertani, Carranza leader, cut off j
the bandits from the railroad in the district about La Ascension.
According to General Bertani, he is working in unity and co-operating in
every way with Colonel Slocum, commanding the American forces at Colum
bus. He has established his headquarters at Paloma, diicctly across the
American border from Columbus, K.
declares that yesterday, on his arrival
his troops took up the Villa trail
leaders. Bv hard riding Villa escaped
line, seemingly to try to cut off the Mormon icfugee train, when a portion
of the Carranzista forces got between him and hh destination.
Bertani immediately got into communication with Colonel Slocum and
put him in possession of all his information, which was promptly convened
to General Funston.
Oflicials here weie well pleased with the message from General Beitani.
They said that it meant that Villa's days were numbered and that the most
grave danger that of complications with tho Mexican people generally
had seemingly been avoided.
Conditions of actual warfare prevail here today in preparation of the
movement of American troops to invade Mexico in the punitive campaign
to take Villa and his band of outlaws.
Brig. Gen. John J. Pershing, commander of the 8th Cavalry Brigade,
will lend the punitive expedition against Villa, it was learned at army
hcadpuarters here. Mnj. Gen. Frederick Funston, it was said, will not go
to the border at present.
The bandit leader is reported to be at La Ascension, Chihuahua, in com
mand of a strong force, warned, and prepared for battle.
Both United States troops and forces of the Carranza government will
operate to closo in on the Villistns in the mountainous districts. Information
here is that instead of opposing the entry of American troops, President
Cnrranza welcomes tho assistance and will lend his support to the campaign.
U. S. Troops Will Strike From Three Points.
Reports were received here that tho War Department plans contemplate
entrance into Mexico at Juarez, Columbus and Agua Prieta. Three ,
regiments cavalry, infantry and field artillery will entrain here, it is said, 1
cross the Rio Grando and proceed over the Mexican and Northeastern
railway to Casas Grnndes. There they will join Cnrranzn troops and work
north toward the border. At the same time n column entering Mexico '
at Agua Prieta will proceed southeastward and a column from Columbus will
move from the north and east.
Geneini Clavir'a. commandet of tho Carrnnzn pnnison at JunreA lecelvcd
word early today that Villa had moved to La Ascension witli a larKe forced of
men. Tt was suspected that Villa was aiming to strike the idiltoad between
Casas Giandes and .lunrez, witli the hope of eaptutliiK 500 Mormons, who had
.stayed at Casas Giandes when other Atncilc.ins loft northern Mc.ico.
