:ARRANZ. ’I‘RQO revolt fi the interruption of wire | DISAFFECTION REPORTED ALIGN WITH VILLA service 'ween Casas Grandes and Juarez yesterday and the wire cut- ting today between Ojinaga opposite Presidio, and Torreon. It was sug- ggsted that the persons who cut the res between Casas Grandes and Juarez might have thought that they were being used by General Pershing for communication with General Funs- ton, Would Embarrass United States. If the report should be true and it Herrera desired he could emwarrass greatly the United States in its ef- forts to run down Villa ana nhis rollow- ers, say these observers. Cutting of the Mexican Northwestern Rallroad at certain points would make it impos- sible, they sald, for the Americans to use it for forwarding supplies for the army even if the Carranza government decided to grant General Funston's re- quest. Another move that it was fear- ed he might make was to go north and east along the trail of Ojinaga and at- tack Presidlo, A small American force is there now and this probably will be strengthen- ed, Such : raid wo‘\;ld ngt pe S0 i simple as that affected at Columbus, : May Rayeicot Wirse however, since between Prestdio and Military . observers here see a pos-| Ojinaga is the Rio Grande river in- sible connection in\Herrera’s alleged | stead of an imaginary line, GASTORIA For Infants and Children, Mothers Know That - Genuine Castoria (Continued from Page One) here was that if Herrera has jolned Villa the international situation might be so complex that by comparison the pursuit of Villa would be regarded 1s incidental. Believes It a “Border Rumor Consul Beltran of Carranza’s goverf- ment recelved no report of the report- »d revolt of Herrera and he was in- slined to laught at it as a ‘“border ru- mor” According to the version reaching here, Herrera was removed on Monday from command and imediately took steps to alienate his garrison. That Carranza has enéugh loyal iroops in northern Mexico to drive him Irom the city of Chihuahua if he at- lempts to held that place, was bellev- »d by military men here, but it was leared ~that retention of Chihuahua would not be his plan. For Over Thirty Years GASTORIR - FHEOENTAUN SOMPANY, NEW YORK OITY, AMONG CARRANZA TROOPS. Border Men Bel They Are" Not Giving Real Cooperation. S El Paso, Texas, March 22—The si- lence which for two days has envelop- ed the Mexican situation as far as any definite news of the pursuit of Fran- olsco Villa is concerned, gave fresh force today to the numerous reports from various sources of grave disaf- fection gmong the Carranga troops. On the border, at least, it is firmly believed that the soldiers of the first chief are far from giving any real coe operation to_the American expedition- ary force, It is admitted that General Carranza and some of hls lleutenants are sincerely anxious to avold friction with the United States but it is not believed that the head of the defacto government represents the attitude or sentiments of his army or fellow cit- izens. Claimed Wires Were Cut. Since yesterday morning General Gavira at Juarez has claime@ that the wires along the Mexican Northwest- ern railroad between Juarez and Casas Grandes have been cut and that consequently he'could give no inforp- ation in regard to the reported baftle at Namiquipa between the Carranza and Villa forces, Americans here, especially refugees from Mexico, are skeptical both as to the reported battle and the cur wires. They point out that severed communi- cation is one af the most familjar ruses used by Mexican officials when they wish to withhould information that it is strange that the wires Casas Grandes, a distance of only 130 miles, along a railroad, could not be repaired in two days’ time. ©arranza Troops, That General Pershing and some of his forces are close to Namiquipa seems reasonably certain and if the bandit had received a serious check at the hands of the Carranza soldiers, a clash between his followers and the Americans should be imminent. The fact that a Carranza victory certajs- ly would have been heralded far and wide by thi stime, instead of suppress. ed, adds force to the contentions of the skeptics. - and Villa NO AMERICAN SOLDIERS HAVE BEEN WOUNDED.

G4 Joseph Andre, of Torrington, the man who jumped from an express train near Saybrook junction Tuesday af- ternoon, died at the Lawrence hospi+ tal, New London, Wednesday after- noon. Andre was in the custody of two ecial officers who were bringing him to the state hospital in this citw when he made his attempt to escape. He had been riding in the rear coach under a keen surveillance of the two officers when about 3.30 he asked per- mission to go to the toilet. He was accompanied as far as the door by one of the officers who held the door knob from the outside. The door had scarcely been closed when there was a crash of breaking glass and, rushing through the door to the toilet, the officer was astounded to see that the window was broken and that Andre was not in sight. An- dre had plunged through the glass without stopping to open the window. Several months ago another lunatic jumped from an express train near Saybrook, using the same ruse of go- ing to the toilet. On this occasion the man, Who was a Pole, crawled out of the win and jumped. He landed on his feet and managed to escape without serlous injuries.
