, No report to Gen. Kunston has stated
specifically Just where he was on that
day or where he -is now. Even the
report that he Is injured was not defin
itely stated, although Gen. Pershing's
reference to his Injuries indicated that
he believed the report. .
Vllln May "ot He Wounded.
Unofficial reports early today -Indicated
the possibility of an error as to
his wounded condition. One of these
reports, which was from a Mexican
source, was that he was quite sound
in wind and limb and that his own men
had spread the report of his broken leg
in order to distract the attention of
' the Americans.
Gen. Funston's messages to Sen.
Persbing included copies of the con
gratulatory messages received from the
war department and the white house.

Unofficially It was reported that the
bullet which disabled Villa passed

EL PASO and the United States gen
erally awaited Saturday In ex
pectancy further news from the
American forces In Mexico, which on
Wednesday met and defeated Pancho
Villa and his bandit band near the
town of Guerrero.
As three days have elapsed since the
fight and Villa had but a very slight
start ahead of the Americans, it was
generally expected that news of the
actual capture or killing of the bandit
or at least of another engagement with
his band, might be received at any

CONVERSATION TO SAN ANTONIO.
TEXAS, THROUGH DENVER !
Gen. Frederick Funston, commanding
the punitive expedition Into Mexico, j
converses with Columbus and EI Paso '
over the long distance telephone, us
ing the line by way of Denver, Colo. !
Some very long conversations have oc- I
curred recently over the wires between
Fort Sam Houston and El Paso, and
Fort Ham Houston and Columbus. A
record breaking one was on Wednes- '
day night when the line was used by
Gen. Funston for three hours without .
a break.
The army has right of way In the '
use of the telephone wire and pays the
same toll as the general public. There ,
Is a shorter route to San Antonio than
by way of Denver, but the employ-
ment of "repeaters" In Denver makes
the conversation more distinct than
the line by way of Amarillo. and for
this reason the longer wire Is used.
There is no wire directly cast from
EI Paso to San Antonio.
SMITH TRIES TO GET MORE
TROOPS FOR EL PASO CITY
Washington, D. C, April 1. Repre
sentative Smith who received urgent
telegrams from Tom Lea, mayor of El
Paso, asking that more United State
troops be stationed at Kl Paso, went
to the white house and asked president
Wilson to hae additional troops dis
patched to El Paso. He told the presi
dent that he had given up as a hope
less task repeated efforts to get the
war department to do anything and
tnat he and his people in Texas wanted
action Immediately. The president
promised Mr. Smith that he would look
into the matter today and see what
could be done. Mr. Smith deolarcs
that the war department is leaving
entirely too many matters and too much
authority with Gen. Funston and that
he proposes to get results hereafter
by appealing direct to the white house.

FOB TIE SOLUS. OF
Sick Men Brought Out on
Freight Trucks, Hauled .
in Open Ambulances.
Charges telegraphed to senator Cul
berson by tho father of Lieut. Jos. W.
Allison, who died this week In the Fort
Iillas hospital ot pneumonia contracted
in Mexico, have suddenly attracted at
tention to the lack of preparations for
the care of the sick and wounded of
the American expedition into Mexico.
While hospital tents have been taken
in with the expeditionary forces, the
arrangements for transporting the men
from the front to the temporary base
hospital at Columbus and the base" hos
pital at El Pa&p are very crude and
far from what sick people should re
ceive. The father of the dead lieutenant
only emphasizes what returning Amer
icans have said of the lack of attention
given the sick men brought back from
the front, when he asserts.
"Traveling- four days in an army wason
over roucb roads under intense suffering"
victim of his country-! criminal and hsart
less nesllgsnoe In falling to avail itself of
the rail transportation already at hand anl
to be had for the asking.
'His life haa paid the penalty ot this nej
lect and no help can com to him or to
those who mourn for him. but the cruel,
negligence continues and must Bring further
arrl flees unless our government awakeni
tn its duties to the thousands of brave sol
diers who are the Innocent victims of Its
cruelly negligent or Inexcusably mistake-i
policies."
Others Tell of Suffering.
Others had previously told of the
suffering endured by sick and wounded
soldiers brought up from the front on
trucks that took provisions on the trip
down trucks practically without
springs, rough, jolting, hard things,
that would rack the very nerves and
almost break the bones of a perfectly
well man.
Arriving at El Paso, where better
treatment should be possible, the men
have not vet come to the end of their
inconveniences and trials: this has
again attracted attention and caused
comment.
Out In llnd Weather.
Friday, for instance, the weather was
wretched, and after the men were un
loaded from the coach they stood In
the cold drizzle waiting for orders. In
structions originally were that the me
would go out to the fort in a baggage
car. Later word came to send them
out to the hospital In the mule-drawn
ambulances at the post.
For five, miles these sick chaps are
jolted. The ambulances are as cold
as sleeping porches and as guaty. "I
don't see how a fellow with pneumonia
could possibly pull through such ex
posure." said a man yesterday.
SIclT Men on Street Cars.
On Thursday after the order was
liven to send the 19 sick men out in
the baggage car, it was countermanded
and all save two of the men (two ne
groes on stretchers with pneumonia)
had to walk up town to San. Jacinto
plaza, where they waited for a Fort
Bliss car. Not only did they walk, but
the majority of them carried their kits.
Not only have they the meagerest
attention but the men who have feet
that have been stone bruised and sore
splotched by long marches, come am
bling along In their painfully gro
tesque fashion so pitiable as to make
spectators, including reporters, notice
and cqmment

States army in Mexico are in need oi
oat'. The officers who are engaged
in purchasing supplies state very
frankly that the 7008 to 8090 animals
in the six regiments of cavalry, the
pack trains, and the artillery batteries,
as well as the mounts for the officers
of the infantry, need more oats for
their daily menu than they are now
getting.
Considering the fact that there are
approximately 60M horses in the six
cavalry regiments now engaged In the
punitive expedition, and not less than
1500 hones and mules In the other
departments of the army of expedition,
90,000 pounds of oats would be re-'
quired a day. This figure Is reached
on the basis of 12 pounds of rations
a day which Is regulation.
Two cars of oats are said to have
gone down to Casas Grandes earlier
in the week. If these cars annroxlmat-
ed 45,000 pounds each, they would only
answer the need of the army for one
day.
Will Help Considerably.
Major Wm. Elliott, the depot quar
termaster, said Friday night that such
shipments if plaeed on sale where the
army could secure them, would help
out considerably.
Two cars of oats were consigned to
the Casas Grandes country earlier in
the week and are reported to have
reached their destination without any
mishaps. Six additional cars of oats
were exported through the customs
department Saturday morning, being a
consignment ot a local concern to a
business house In Casas Grandes, but
ostensibly for the use of the army.
The box cars containing the oats have
a capacity of 40,000 to 60,000 pounds.
Shipments Sent South.
In addition to the six cars of oats
which crossed the river early Saturday
morning there are three cars of oats,
one car of gasoline and one car of
provisions to be added to the freight
train, which left over the North West
ern today for Casas Grandes. The
shipments are all being made by pri
vate concerns and consigned to mer
chants and commission men In the
Casas Grandes district.
Rig Shipment Stops.
One of the biggest shippers of grains
and feedstuffs entertained the Idea
of shipping some fifty cars of oats to
Casas Grandes, but on Saturday morn
ing cancelled the proposition on the
grounds that the shipments would be
made at too great a risk. He took
the position that the roadbed of the
North Western is bfcd, the equipment
faulty, and the length of time the sol
diers might remain In Mexico 1 gov
erned by the capture of Villa, a con
tingency that might happen any day.
leaving his firm with the "sack ot
oats" to hold.
Tobacco and Cigar.
In one of the cars which crossed the
river on Thursday to be sent by local
dealers to a Casas Grandes firm was
considerable American tobacco and
cigars.
