GEN. PERSHING'S HEADQUAR- TERS, NEAR NAMIQUIPA, Mexico, April 28.—The ride of Major Howze and a squadron of the Eleventh Cav- alry through Villista crabushes and penetrating to the Durango line, 671 miles from the American border, will go down as one of the most notable features of the American expedi- tion's stay in Mexico. The column heard from natives along the line of Villa's retreat that he was shot in the head and leg. The natives believe Villa ts alive and hid- ing in the mountains of Northern Durango. They found an overturned wagon in which Villa was said to have been carried until its canvas top was improvised into a litter for him. In the hills outside of La Joya, the squadron ran on four Mexicans who refused to halt. The Americans fired, killing Capt. Silva, a supposed Vil- Masta. The following day near Santa Cruz the American column was fired on from ambush, losing two pack mules. Later a native guide led the Americans into another ambush in which Trooper Kirby was killed and four men wounded. The squadron also lost six horses killed. Thirty other mounts died of exhaustion in the ensuing pursuit. It developed that the ambush was prepared by the men of La Joya, Rosario and Santa Cruz. Near Parral, on the return march |to the ald of Tompkins, the column was advised by a Carranzista officer to turn aside to Santa Cruz. A Car- rangista guide for the Americans lost his way on the night march but dawn disclosed Santa Cruz and Tompkins's force only a mile away, ieelipeninn SCHWAB RAISES WAGES. en Thousand lehem Steel Worke HARRISBURG, Pt April 28.—The wages of the 7,000 employees of the | Pennsylvania Steel Company at Stecl- ton will be advanced on May 1 by the Rethlehem Steel Corporation, according to notices posted to-day, Day laborers will receive twenty cents an hour tn- stead of 17% 48 at present, and other employees in proportion, "The rain which iy effective May 1, was une: pected, The’ Pennsylvania Steel plant was purchased by the Bethlehem Corpora- tion about two months Suspend Proposed Si Rates.

He was last reported near Guerrero and may be headed for the Senora border. “The Carranea Government is able to cope with the situation without as- sistance,” declared the General. Obregon insisted that the Carranza Governnfent was in position to police northern Chihuabua thoroughly and | that the Amerioan troops having ful- filled their announced purpose of | breaking up the Villa bands, should withdraw. The 40,000 Carranza soldiers stretching across northern Mexico from Sonora to eastern Chi- huahua was Gen. Obregon’s most potent argument that he could meet the situation without ald from the United States. All Juarez turned out to make Gen. Obregon and hie party weloome whe: they’ arrived this mornt: Gen. Gavira, commander of Juarez, with his staff, and Andres Garcia, Mexican Consul to Bl Paso, officially welcomed Gen, Obregon. The third section of Gen. Obregon's train was wrecked between Ahumada and San Jose. Two cars overturned and two passengers were injured. Gov. Luls Gutlerres of Chihuahua who was on board was not hurt. Accompanying Obregon were Gen. Jacinto Trevino, commander of the northern diviaion of Carranza’s army; Jose Herrera, Mayor of Parral and numerous minor officials of the de facto Government. Obregon laughed when asked about reporte of a break with Carranza. He said he had telegraphed Mexico City for instructions only this morning.
