Torreon, Mex., April 4.—Gen. Canu- to Reves, commanding the Villa forces a letter to commander, with all his amnesty. This in- was given out today in this locality, has sent Gen. Trevino, Carranza offering to surrender forces if given formation General Trevino. Carranza authorities here say that the surrender of Reyes would break organized tance to the de facto government and end the hopes of Villa. There is a disposition, how- ever, to accept his offer conservative- ly, as it was declared that six weeks would be necessary for Gen. Reyes to notily all his followers and there i possibility that this may be a ruse to gain time for Villa. by res; Washington, April 4.—Gen. Funston advised the war department today he was sending more troops into Mexico from Columbus to protect the line of communication with Gen. Pershing. He did not state whether additional troops had been sent forward to the military base. So far General Funston has gested reinforcement of Pershing’s forces, except merely protect the not Gen. to extended communication nd there was no confirmation today of border reports that exten- sive additions to the fighting column would be required. Late reports to the war department says parts of the Fifth and Eleventh Cavalry and the Twentieth and Twenty Fourth Infantry were stationed at Columbus. Gen. Funston did not state whether some of those troops had been. sent across the border or whether others had been brought from n stations Apache Scouts Take Up Trail, Nineteen Apache scouts and trail- ers have been wordered from Fort Apache, Ariz., to Gen. Pershing’s col- umn. Captain Hazzard of the Tenth Cavalry, who was with Gen. Funston when he captured Aguinaldo, left with scouts for the border today but he will'not accompany them into Mexico. The censorship today veiled the number and personel of additional troops which have been sent across the border. Major General Scott, chief of staff, said the extra troops had left Columbus two days ago, but no word of the movement had been al- lowed to leak out. It was believed that the Fifth Cavalry, recently sent from Fort Myer, Va., Fort Sheriden, 111, and Fort Leavenworth, Kas., were drawn upon. Private advices seeming to show that Villa has definitely been located south of Chihuahua were received today by the state department and once turned over to the war de- rtment for transmission to Gen- cral Pershing. Two messages came to the state de- partment regarding alleged location of Villa south of Chihuahua. De- partment officials believe that, from their information and press reports, was definitely established that he was headed to the south. Today’s official despatches varied regarding the reported injuries of the bandit chief, At the state de- partment those in close touch with the chase doubted that he had been hurt. rby the rmy Line of Communication San Antonio Texas, April 4.—Con- vinced that Villa is south of Chihua- hua City and is continuing his flight, Major Gen. Funston faced a difficult problem today in arranging to carry the campaign stili farther into the in- terior of Mexico. Officers regard the troops engaged in the chase of Villa as adequate, but the line of communication, which ex- rends nearly 300 miles south of the bo-der, is causing them anxiety, They do not believe jt can be safely length- enad without being reinforced by more troops. Consu reports received at head- quarters gave conflicting information resarding the whereabouts of Villa. General Fershing has not been heard from since the despatcn in which he told of the search Villa in the Guerrero district and that it was be- ing continued. Threatened. Vilia Seeking Torreon Haven.

I ENDS LIFE AFTER SIEGE IN HOME Babylon Hunter and Guide Wounds Iive While Holding Authorities At Bay Twelve Hours. New York April 4.—Willian Don- ley, a hunter and guide, I dead to- da in his home in Babylon, L. 1., where he had wounded five persons and fought a twelve hours battle with the sheriff and fourteen deputies who attempted to arrest him. Armed with rifles, shotguns and revolvers, Donley withstood siege by the county authorities from noon erday un- til early today When the attacke after a long silence forced their way into the house they found Doanley had shot himself in the head. The body lay at the head of the stairs whero Donley had for hours kept the be- siegers at bay. Donley friends believe he was driven insane by his recent arrest for shooting ducks out of season and the imposition of a fine of $600, which he could not pay. He accused two of his neighbors of making the com- plaint against him and, opening fire on them with a shotgun, wounded both. A third neighbor who inter- vened also was wounded. i Donley then fired several shots at wife and at the wife of a neigh- slightly wounding the latter. For hours thereafter Donley fired at any person who came near his home. A policeman attempting to arrest him was shot in the arm and leg. WITH BABE IN ARMS FALLS T0 HER DEATH Mrs. Stepanuk Dies at Hos- pital—Steps from Mov- ing Car. Mrs. Mary Stepanuk of 293 Church street died at the New Britain Gen- eral Hospital at 4 o’clock this morn- ing of internal injuries received at 8 o’clock last night as she attempted to alight from the inbound Hartford car at the corner of Church and Stanley streets. - According to the statement of some witnesses and of Conductor Birge and Motorman Simon Kitson, who were in charge of the car, the unfortunate woman attempted to step from the car before it came to a complete stop. Presumably Mrs. Stepanuk had been in Hartford either visiting or shop- ping and had a small child in her arms. She signalled for the car to stop at the corner of Church and Stanley streets and moved to the plat- form as it was slowing down. The manager of the Hartford office of the Connecticut company, to whom a complete report of the acci dent has been made, states from his information that the signal had been siven for the car to stop, and it was in fact coming to a stop at the usual place, when Mrs. Stepanuk, with her infant in her arms, jumped from the car on the near side of the street. Although the car was moving but slowly, she was thrown violently to the ground and her baby was hurled some distance from her. While the infant was not injured, the mother was seen to be in a critical tlon and she was rushed to the pital in the police ambulance. suffered two hemorrhages reaching the hospital and Dr. E. Elcock, who was called to her, saw at once that her were most critical. Mrs. Stepanuk was but years of age and besides her husband, Samuel Stepanuk, she leaves nine children, ix girls and three boys, Thesfuneral arrangements have not been completed.

HOLLAND IN DILEMMA MUST SHOW STRENGTH { Incumbent to Show Germany English Invasion Is Impossible. Amsterdam, via 7:30 a. m.—"I do London, April not for a moment suggest there Dos that Great Britain intends to land her new on the Dutch coast,” said former Minister of War Colyn today iew regarding recent mys- terious miltiary preparations in Tiol- land. “We have the assurance of Britain that she will respect our neutrality, and we rely on that as- surance. But the question is, does Germany think of thi “If the Germans begin seriously be afraid of such a contingency the landing of British troops in Hol- land, what influence will that have on German attitude toward u We must assume that she is acquainted with our defensive capacity. If she judges that capacity inadequate and s that a British irruption into Germany through Holland is to be feared, would it then be strange if we appeared from the German side with proposa to which we cannot submit, because they would mean the abandonment of our neutrality toward the allies. “I know that against this it may be id that the British will not make a landing in Holland and that if they tried we are quite capable of stopping a British march eastward or south- eastward. But that is not relevant. question is not what we think, but what the Germans think.” Jonkherr Colyn added that there was an increasing possibility of con- flict on both sides, and, while a wait- is ibility to ling attitude might be adopted towird | Great 3 itain, something positive should be done with regard to Ger- many.
