VILLA DEMANDS
EVACUATION OF
MEXICO 81 11
Officials Are Puzzled By
Gathering of Prominent
Mexican Families in San
Antonio.
COLUMBUS X. M. Oct. 2G. (Bul-
letin) Villa bandits operating . in
Xamiquipa twenty-five miles south of
General Pershing's -'column have de-
manded the shortening of the Ameri-
can line and the gradual ovacuation of
Mexican territory by Americans ac-
cording to Americans arriving here
today.
Officials Puzzled.
WASHINGTON Oct. 2G.-Official
reports received here of the presence
. of members of the Carranza Hiierta
Obregon.. Trevino and iladero families
in San Antonio Texas Tiave puzzled
observers who are seeking an expla-
nation of the gathering "of non-com-
. batant 'Mexicans.
Some administration officials be-
lieve that the economic and social
conditions in Mexico arc undesirable
and. that these prominent' families
left the country for that reason.
Vila's Plans.
Reports to persons here in touch
.with the legalista movement said that
Villa has possibly given assurances
that he will leave Mexico and go to
Cuba if Carranza is overthrown. The
shortage of ammunition among Car-
ranza troops in the north is ex-
plained by the same persons with the
statement that internal politics
. among the Carranza leaders are such
(hat General Obregon is personally
keeping control of practically all the
available ammunition. Recent news
dispatches reported the movement of
a trainload of ammunition to Que-
retaro when General Carranza and
G"eneral Obregon went there from
Mexico City. Sources in touch with
the legalista movements say Obre-
gon took it with him that he might
control its disposal.
So far as is known Villa has no
leader of consequence with the ex-
ception of Ynez Salazar whom ' he
liberated from the Chihuahua peni-
tentiary on his recent raid. -Former
Villa leaders now exiles along the
American border are ssaid to be ready
to join him at the first sign of a de-
cisive success.
