WOUNDED LEFT
BEHIND E VILLA
Doubt Expressed as to Red
Lopez Having Been Killed
at Columbus.
El Paso, March 19. Vila has reach
ed Babricora, near the lake of that
name In the Guerrero region, after
having abandoned thirty of his
wounded at El Valle, acording to a
telegram received today by General
Gavira at Juarez from Colonel Nieto
Maccins, the commander at Pearson.
This places Villa a little beyond
Las Cruces, where the Carranza offi
cials reported him yesterday.
Villa fled to avoid conflict with
the Carranzista troops under Colonel
Cano. Among the thirty wounded,
nhc had been shot In the Columbus
raid and carried along In wagons,
only to be abandoned at El Valle, was
said to be the Villlsta leader, Pablo
Lopes. Lopez is the leader whose
death was reported as a positive fact
at the Columbus raid. Later reports
cast some doubt upon his death, and
Indicated that another chief carrying
his papers might have been the real
victim Lopez, In these later reports,
was said to be badly wounded. The
lelegn.m said that Lopez Is In a bad
wa, having been shot through the
abdomen and both legs, which were
broken. The Villista chief, Cervantes,
is reported with a number of bandits
In Las Cruces.
General BcrtanI, commanding the
uarraiizii lurces at jusas urunaes,
came to Juarez today to talk over
the military situation with his super
ior. General Gavira. He said that
General Pershing's force is divided,
with part near Casas Grandes and a
part near Galeana, some distance
southwest of Casas Grandes. The
Americans encamp in the country, but
have permission to go to the towns
to buy food, fodder and other obtain
able goods. An order to this effect
came from War Minister Obregon.
No word has yet been received by
Gavira regarding the use of the Na
tional Railways for the transport of
Pershing's supplies, and, Gavira add
ed, no shipments o? this kind have yet
been made on the trains out of Juarez.
This is a matter to be settled be
tween Washington and the Carranza
government.
Villa spent last Wednesday and
Thursday in El Valle, according to re
ports at the Juarez headquarters, but
fled without giving battle when he
saw the troops of Colonel Cano from
Santa Ana, escaping up a steep can
yon from Las Cruces.
Good Hiding Places.
"Villa is now is a very difficult sec
tion for us," said General Gavira,
"and very favorable for his purposes.
He is now In broken, rocky, pine-clad,
mountainous country, full'of places of
concealment. Only cavalry can oper
ate in it to advantage.

miseion to England. I
"I don't want to appear discour- ', I
tuous," he said, "but I cannot discuss I
It at this time." S
He was then asked whether Great
Britain had exhausted the old loan. JF
"They don't seem to be suffering i'
from any lack of money over there," ''.
was his answer. ) 5
With regard to American securities " jj
now held by the British government, 11
he said: ,-
"As far as I can understand, they jj tt
