Latest News of Mexican Situation.
It is possible that United States sol-
dier# now on Mexican soil in search
of the bandit Villa Boon will be re-
called. Tbe original order# stated that
the mission of the American troops
would be finished whenever tbe Car-
ranza troops showed an ability to take
charge of the Northern Mexican condi-
tions, particularly tbat referring to
Villa and breaking up of his band of
followers. Seemingly tbe Carransa
government now feels its ability to do
tbe protecting things that it will be
called upon to do by the administra-
tion at Washington. There is a feel-
ing among some Washingtonians that
the capture of Villa is highly improb-
able despite the reassuring reports
that come from Mexico.
General Gavlra, Carranza comman-
der at Juarez, announces that the de
facto government now is in position to
take charge of the Villa situation if
the American troops withdraw from
{the country. He says he has more
than enough men.
Then, too, the line of communication,
supplying the American Boldiers, is
not at ail what officials want it to be,
and there scema to be no Immediate
prospect of bettering It.
Some of the troops guarding- West
Texas towns will be used to strength-
en the ever-drawing line of communi-
cation. The negro aoldiera have been
ordered from Del Rio and will do serv-
ice In Mexico.
Late advices at Washington would
indicate that Brigadier General Persh-
ing KIs not had any brush wltb
Vllllstas in the past week.
Several arrests were made at El
Paso in connection with the crossing
of the border of Oeneral Ynez Salazar,
who in a manifesto declares that it is
■ his intention to "defend tbe sacred soil
of his native land.” ***
Andres Rehaza, a coachman at Ml-
naca, is the Mexican who shot Villa
when the bandit, during his retreat
from the American expedition, sought
to do violence, according to late In-
formation at El Paso. Immediately
after wounding the outlaw Rehaza was
killed by Villa's men, according to the
story.
Secretary Baker, after receiving the
late reports from Major General Fun
I ton, said he felt optimistic that Vlll

Washington.—The government ot
the entente allies, through Sir Cecil
Spring-Rice, the British ambassador,
presented to Secretary Lapsing a Joint
reply Monday to the protest made by
the United States against the seisure,
detention and censoring of neutral
mails. It is declared that no legiti-
mate letter mull had been confiscated
nor any treaty rights violated, but em-
phatically assortod the allies' inten-
tion to continue searching parcel post
packages for. contraband ‘'concealed
under postal folders.”
In rogard to “true correspondence”
the note says the allied governments
“will continue for tbe present to re-
frain from seizing and confiscating at
sea these correspondences, letters and
dispatches and that they will insure
the most rapid delivery of such letters
as soon aB the genuineness of their
character is known.”

~ Villa is reported ~on the outskirts ot
Parral endeavoring - to find out how
the garrison of the town stands.
Supply situation Is somewhat re-
lieved by shipments of forage and food
to merchants in Mexjco and then de-
livery to Brigadier General Pershing’s
command.
Rumors of massing of Carranza
troops on the border are persistent,
and it is also reported that Oeneral
Gavlra is to be superseded at Juarez
and take a command in the field.
General Pershing is reported to be
moving his headquarters to a point
south of Chihuahua City, as the ad-
vance forces have penetrated more
than 500 miles Into Mexico. It Is
stated that the pursuit of Villa |s at a
standstill for the present afcd will wait
until more supplies are forwarded.
.During the week the war department
hopes to send one or two new aero-
planes to General Funston. Delivery
of the first of the eight new biplanes
recently ordered has been promised
for this week.
Members of the army medical corps
are gratified over reports from the
hospital base at Fort Bliss regarding
the small number of men taken sick
while serving with Oeneral Pershing’s
command. Less than the average sick
rate for field service has been report-
ed.
Brigadier General Pershing reported
Monday that he had apprehended a
number of the Mexicans who took part
in the Columbus raid and that he ex-
pected to get many m«re The prison-
ers will be held for disposition by the
war department.
The field commander said that Gen-
eral Lula Herrera, commander of the
Carransa garrison at Chihuahua City,
whose loyalty to the constitutionalists
was recently held in doubt, until the
rumor of his defection was proved
false, had visited with his entire staff
the field headquarters of the American
expeditionary force at San Geronlmo
ranch, giving assurance of friendship
for the Americana.
Oeneral Pershing said some supplies
had been purchased In Chihuahua and
that there appeared no disposition on
the part of those with stores to with-
hold their goods, but that the limited
amount of supplies at Chihuahua at
present made It almost impossible to
get provisions.

The allied governments assert their

following language:
“That the inviolability of postal cor-

tained in the mail sacks.
"At the time of the second confer-
ence at The Hague In 1907,” the com-
munication says, “the German imperial
government pointed out since the tele-
graph offered to tUe belligerent means

point. The full article of convention

as is shown, that henceforth postal
