THE WASHINGTON TIMES! MONDAY: MARCH 13,1 1016.
was a spontaneous act. They believe it to have been the
result of a carefully organized plan of guerrilla wartfare.
VILLA REGARDED AS HERO.
They have reason to believe that 90 per cent of the
Carranza forces in northern Mexico, far from deploring
the raid of Villa into American territory, regard him as a
hero. The opinion is expressed by seasoned American of
ficers who have served on the border and know the "greas
er," that whatever may be the factional hatreds among the
Mexicans the supreme feeling among all is an intense
hatred of the "gringo."
American border towns are known to be full of Mexi
can spies.' The army has reason to believe that every move
made by Funston will probably be known to Villa as soon
as it is k'nown in Washington. Half the Carranza gacri
son at Juarez was serving six mdnths ago under the banner
of Villa. '
From an authoritative source it was learned this ,
morning that the general staff had planned as the initial
expedition after Villa a force of 8,000 men. The intention
of Funston is not to niove the main body of these until he
has other regiments on the border ready to take their places.
There is confidence that this expedition will be only
the starter. Within a week it is expected that the Presi
dent will have to get additional forces, and that the militia
will have to be called out.
For this eventuality the War Department is waiting
with interest. Officers there expect the scenes preceding
trie Spanish-American war to be re-enacted, when less than
33 per cent of the National Guard responded to the call.
They believe that it will give the United States another
striking lesson .of tfie weakness of the militia scheme the
scheme uppermost in Hay army preparedness bill now be
fore Congress.
FOREIGN GOVERNMENTS WAITING.
Fire Damages presidio,
Inquiry Will Be Made
MONTEREY, Cal., March 13.
The headquarters building at
the United States Presidio
here was badly damaged by
fire today. ItriRortant'army
records were destroyed, to-
gcthcr with the telephone
and telegraph exchanges.
While defective wiring was re
ported to have been the
cause of the fire, officials arc
investigating the possibility
that it was connected with.
the Mexican crisis. ,
spread from the beginning that the up
hot of the whole business would be a.
general turning of Mexican element!
against Americans and then interven
tion. Hhould the expedition be allowed to
proceed unmolcMed by the Carranxa'
force nnd no serious hitch' develop,
President Wilson will not carry the
matter to Congress. Out otherwise he
will do so. If a situation arises which
seems to demand Intervention, and the
President should say so to Congress,
there In no reason to doubt he would be
backed without reference to party lines.
Senator Sherman of Illinois, In a state
ment. said thnt If Carranza refused to
join In the hunt for Villa the United
States should Intervene In Mexico, and
that there was more reason to intervene
In Mexico .than there was In Cuba.

FORT MYER IS READY
FOR ORDERS TO GO
Foreign governments aro watching
with keen Interest the developments at
the border.' In German circles the situ
ation Is regarded as providing a wel
come diversion from the acute relations
existing between the United States and
Germany on the submarine controversy.
Sir Cecil Bprlng-Itlce, the rBltlsh Am
bassador, called at the State Depart
ment today to be advised as to the plans
'of the Unite 1 States.
The President conferred at 11:30
o'clock with Attorney General Gregory,
who iavors the establishment by under
standing w'th Carrw of n utral
sone wherom tho forces of both gov
ernments can operate against Villa.
Senators Stane and Saulsbury, of the
Foreign Relations Committee, also call
ed on thi President. The engagement
had been made previously for the Pur
pose of providing a place In the con
sular service for a friend of Senator
Saulsbury, but while at the White
House the Senators discussed with the
President the possibility of Senate
action to ratify any agreement with
Carranza. Tho Administration regards
such ratification as unnecessary.
Whllo declining to tell what the ad
ministration's policy would be. Senator
iftonc, after a conference with the Presi
dent, said that reciprocal border-crossing
agreements, such as Carranza has
nsked, have been -ma do by tho Presi
dent without a treaty.
This program. It it can be carried., out,
would obviate the necessary of a two
thirds vote which would be necessary
In thn Senate to contlrm a treaty. With
all the Republican leaders opposed, It
Is probable that such a treaty could not
be confirmed.
U. S. Puts Embargo on
Munitions to Mexico
Former Official Declares Car
ranzistas Will Unite With
Bandit Against Americans.
.
Railroads Prepare to Rush
Troops' From Washington to
Mexico.
iT.became known today that the, Uni
ted States placed an airtight embargo
on munitions shipments to Mexico. Even
mining explosives are 'barred. Armed
Individuals are not allowed to cross at
any point. At Agua Prleta a million
rounds of cartridges, ordered by Car
ranza, were held up. Carranza may pro
test against rencwnl of tho embargo
with hla "friendly" government.
Whether General Funuton's operations
' would be held up until an agreement Is
reached with Carranza was a point upon
which officials refused Information to
day. It was reiterated that Funston
has orders to start whenever he Is
ready, and that he Is to bo given a free
rein without hindrance from Washing
ton. Delay In starting the expedition will
not operate to make Villa's capture
more difficult, according to army offi
cers. The campaign plans contemplate
a complete clean-up of Vllllsta banditry,
not mero dispersal of Villa's outlaws
into small bands.
Additional fenrs were expressed to
day for the 600 Mormohs reported ma
rooned at Casns Grandcs. Although
guarded by a Carranza garrison, their
escape to tho north has been Bhut off by
Villa's cutting tho railroad.
Exodus of Americans from Mexico
was reportod from all sections. Mining
camps and ranches nre being abandoned
in the flight. The American colony at
Mexico City Was also reported most ap
prehensive. Few American consuls re
main In northern Mexico, and theso
have been given authority to leave.
General Funston has advised the war
Department that thn principal cause of
his delay Is to complcto commissary ar
rangements. The desert country facing
the Americans makes It Imposslblo for
them to live on the country. EI Paso,
with supplies secured there and from
San Antonio, will be the principal sup
ply depot.
Transportation difficulties are also
hampering Funston's mobilization.
Great distances to bo traveled and few
trains, with commands scattered all
along the border, Is making concentra
tion slow. '
Funston has Indicated that the expedi
tion Milt probably move In three sec
tions, but not necessarily simultane
ously The march will not await arrival
of the three additional regiments or
dered to the border from interior forts.
For scout work, Texas Hangers and
otner civilians are being hired by Fun
ston. They know every arroyo nnd
water hole In the desert. The aeroplane
'corps will bo used when the fighting
gctn Into the open country.
Funston believes that the campaign is
to be long unj dangerous. That it will
be one of "no quarter" In savagery, on
Villa's part. Is a gruesome prospect.
Funston believes the greatest danger
will bo to advance scouting parties, who,
If captured by Villa, will probably be
murdered or tortured. That Villa will
not tako prisoners Is the belief of army
officials.
Report to thn War Department today
Indicated that extra strong guards hae
been already placed at bridges across
the boundary, to prevent cither Carrnn
zlstaa or Vllllstas from cutting off these,
means of entry into Mexico.
Real Crisis Here Now,
Congress Leaders Say
Senate and House lenders today
were more than over Impressed with
the belief that the gicat crisis in rela
tions between tho United States and
Mexico has at last arrived.
The feeling is pronounced anionic
Democrat! nnd KepiiblloanH that thn
time has como when the Mexican
question will have lo be Fettled by
the strong arm of Vnclr Sain.
The polite nuino for thin is inter
vention, The real nuirio for it In war.
with tho object, not of conquering the
Mexican people, but of extirpating th
banditti nnd other evil elements
which are a menace to the Htublllty
of tho Mexican republic and to tho
American population nlonu tho bor
der. '
Much Apprehension Here,
Although the posulblllty thut Inter
vention lnluhc bo forced on tho I lilted
States lmi been perceived from tho mo
ment It w-ts c.cclilca to send a punitive
expodltlon against Villa, tho Adminis
tration Bet out with tho purpose simply
of. capturing or killing off him and hla
bind.
But reporta that there Ib great uncer
tainty about the attltudo of the Car
ranxlstas toward tho expedition .has
caused much apprehension here.
Lenders In Congress are disturbed over
the situation ami so aro tho President
and his advisers.
Not only does the mnnlfesto Issued
by Carranza at Mexico City contain In
timations of hostility to the expedition
against Villa, but if press dispatches
from border points arc reliable, the
Mexican population Is considerably
wrought up and there Is doubt ns to
what some of the Carntniai commanders
will do.
New Revolution Feared.
It is evidently feared by American
obstacles will bo thrown in their way
by the Carranza troops with the sanc
tion of the Carranza government, or
If the Carranza government allows the
expedition to chasn down Villa, efforts
win De mauo by villa mm otner leau
ors to wtlr un another Mexican revolt!
tlou with the slogan, "Death to the
Urlniioes."
IteportH havo been persistent here ever
slnco Batutduy that Homo of the Ameri
can forces wore actually over the onr
tier, jiui wnutover mnv ne me on
posltlori of thn American troops i).i-iv
work It Is to run Villa to earth, It U
clear that General Funston has biTii
malting pieparations on a scalo which
Indicates he realizes the American
troops may get tangled up In serious
military operations,
No Reliance in Carranza.
It wun. strongly intimated todar in
mirn orncial quarters that it waa
iillly uudciEtoood here thut there Is
no knowing; what the expedition may
encounter nnd no reliance, was placed
on the Idea that the Carranza forces
would help. Further, it waa Inti
mated thnt the dispositions of the
tiooptriient out by Funston would be
made with tho Jealizatlon that some,
of the Carrunza troops might turn on
thorn.
This phase of the Bltuatlou enor
mously Increased the difficulties of
the expedition In a milltnry xense. It
will be Impossible tu split the com
mand up Into a mi m be i- of small do
tncliP'ents without ruunlnp; the lisle
of having such detachments over
powered if any of the Carranza com
manders are hoitlle to tho Americans
or If Villa draws additional elements
tu IiIh H.ipport.
On the other hand, for the American
expedition to move In a few large bodies
will mean that Villa and his mounted
bands can easily evade them for an in-
detinue period
EI, PASfJ. March 13.-A former Car
ranzlsta official said today that all
Mexico would rise against the American
Invaders.
"Tho Carranilstas hate the Vllllstai,
but Mexicans hate Americans more," ho
said.
Even if Carranza made some recipro
cal arrangement for Carranzlsta troops
to pursue bandU Into fhe United States,
his official stated the de facto govern
ment would bo unable to control its sol.
dlers If the American troops enter
Mexico
The Carranzlsta even expressed the
belief that the flrst American blood
spilled might not be by Vllllstas, but
by Carranzlsta soldiers opposing inva
sion as tho Initial expedition sweeps in
to Juarez to take over the Mexican rail
ways. He feared that If this hannened the
"friendly Invanlon" would cease to be a
fact and with a rebellion on their hands
the" Americans would bo compelled to
conquer most of Mexico, Instead of
merely taking Villa "dead or alive.'1
No co-opcratton was displayed today
by the de facto Mexican forcca-across
the border. However, tho American
army offlclals feel a strong contempt for
the military acuities or the carranzisias.
Great Man-Hunt.
If co-operation Is arranged, and the
Mexicans do not rise against the Amer
ican soldiers, the biggest man-hunt In
history will open with the movemont
across the border. Redoubling their ef
forts to capture Villa themselves, and
thus render the American Invasion un
necessary, the do facto government Is
reported to have 2,600 men closing on
Corrnlltos. Two thousand more Just ar
rived at Juarez will be sent to Pnlomas.
Twelve thousand American troops aro
mobilizing on the border to enter the
Villa hunt.
This makes a total of 16,500 trained
soldiers after one man. While Villa has
a force variously estimated at from wu
to 4,000, ho alone Is believed to be the
object of thn American expedition, nnd
with Villa killed or captured, their work
will be considered practically accom
plished. Tho American mobilization Is going on
behind an official censorship today.
Soldiers are ignorant of their destina
tion. Crews of troop trains are working
under orders to "keep going until told
to etop by the commanding officers."
While the main body of United States
troops may avoid Mexican cities to pre
vent troublo with non-combatants, a
part of the Initial expedition waa ex
pected to enter nt Juarez and take over
the Mexico Northwestern railroad, Thla
leads Into the mountainous region of
central Chihuahua, where Villa Is ex
pected to make a stand.
American troops sent on the Mexico
Northwestern wilt detrain at Guzman,
ninety miles from tho border, according
to plans discussed by army men. A sec
ond detachment will detrain at vmq
point In the Casaa Grandes valley fut
thcr south.
At the same time cavalry regiments
wero expected to march almost duo
south from Columbus nrfti Douglas to
ut off Villa's flight Into the Sierra
Madi en.
Tho American columns were expected
to throw out small parties to watch
water holes, the railroads and other Hues
of communication whllo the principal
forces attempt to close In on Villa's
band.
Merchant Marine At
Once Asked By Labor
Headed by President Gompers, a dele
gation of tho American Federation of
Labor today called on President Wil
son nnd urged "tho immcdlatn creation
by the united states uovernment or an
American merchant mnrlne to be
manned by American .seamen, under
conditions that will make, Ahem an ef
iccuve navai reserve.
Within an hour after the receipt of
orders the troops at Fort Myer and at
Washington Barracks can be en route
to Mexico.
Arrangements for the entraining of the
troops has been completed by the quar
termaster's corps and Instructions have
been given to havo cars ready for the
soldiers and their equipment.
Four troops of cavalry and three bat
teries of held artillery aro at Fort Myer,
and one battalion of engineers is at
Washington Barracks. Under orders of
the chief of stnff every organization
has been put in a stato ready for in
stant departure for active service.
Tho only out of the ordinary features
rccesiary for such a move were the ar
rangement tho railroads would be called
upon to glvo the troops the right of way
and the ncccrsnry rolling stock. Con
sultations between officials of the quar
termaster's corps ot tho army and the
railroad company heads at tho Wash

inated any dlfllculty that might be found
there.

Tho foil text of Carranza' manifesto
In reply to tho American request for
permission to send troops after Villa,
follows: ,
"Because of the assault which Fran
cisco Villa and tho bandits who accom
panied him made nn .Jho town of Co
lumbus, in American territory, burning
houses and killing somo of the in
habitants, toMlcrs as well as civilians,
tho International situation In these mo
menta la very delicate, as the North
American priss have excited tlmlr poo
plo against Mexico, nnd tho Govern
ment of that country has discussed the
situation in the American Congress,
members of which have advised inter
vention, i
"The constitutional government which
I .havo the, honor to represent is also
occupied diligently In an effort to solvo
this delicate miuauon, trying at an
costs to maintain the dignity and sov
ereignty of Mexico, and wo 7et hope
this lamentablo Incident may bo decor
ously arranged, and that there will be
no roas4n for International conflict.
Historical Precedent.?,.
"I have addressed tho Government of
the United Btates, through the foreign
office, stating that tho Invasion of Villa
bas historical precedents, aa In the
years 1M0 and 18S6 two parties of In
dians, coming from the United States,
Invaded Sonora and Chlhuahurf, commit
ting crimes and depredations on the
lives and properties of Mexicans.
"It was then agreed between the gov
ernments of the two countries to per
mit the respectlvo passage of armed
forces, resulting In the extermlnaUon of
the Indians.
"I have asked the American Govern
ment to pursue a like, course In order
to solve future difficulties, should they
arise, noting that Villa and his com
panions nre a group of bandits, whose
acts the Mexican government or people
would not be responsible for, and that
his reproachoblo conduct Is due to Insti
gations of the reactionary clement, that,
lacking patriotism and convinced of lis
defeat, is trying by all means to bring
nn .rtn.l1 Intervention.
I have not received the answer or

the reports of my chiefs along the
frontier I learn that American forces

OrdoYs Immediate Protest.
"The constitutional government has
given Instructions to its confidential

make representations that under no
circumstances will any motive, bo tho

Mexican people will worthily comply
