Supplies Purchased in Spain by Gen. sral Pershing for American Expeditionary Forces in Francs Being Held Up by Teutons. Marfa, Texas. Francisco Villa and Ilia band of followers are ugain threatening the Mexican border garrison at Ojinaga, if reports made to American army officers at Bedford, Texas, opposite Mulato, Mexico, are accurate. A . Mexican federal command under Colonel Valero appeared at Mulato on Mon- day and reported that lie had engaged a Villa command under Jose Chavez, . a Villa general, but had been forced to retire because of a shortage of ammu- nition. He also said Villas main command was in the I'alomas mountains, fifty miles southeast of Ojinaga, oppo- site Presidio, Texas. Villa has been expected to reach the ' border in the Ojinaga district soon. He Is said to be bringing 200 bars of silver bullion, valued at $200,000 gold, on for am , pack mules to be exchanged munition and supplies. Unusual activ-- : ity among Villa partisans along the border was reported to military head Quarters here. Washington. Supplies purchased In Spain by General Pershing for American expeditionary forces in France have not been released. The financial credit for France promised by Spain in return for the privilege of importing American cotton hag' not been granted. The United States has not been permitted to benefit by the agreement between Washington and Madrid signed by representatives of the two governments on March 7. Threats to sink Spanish ships and German political propaganda In Madrid are held to be responsible.

Their owners will not permit them to sail through fear that the threat of the German submarine commanders will be executed. It is doubted in official circles, that the Madrid government will prove sufficiently strong to make serious defense for its rights as a ' j . : Indemnify France for Damage. Washington. A bill to provide for the indemnification of citizens of France for damage done by the American army was introduced Monday by Senator Robinson and referred to the claims committee. The legislation was suggested by General Pershing, who ex plained that such indemnification was made by Great Bri.tain and that the failure of the American army to reimburse citizens whose property was damaged in the course of the armys training or movements had created an unfavorable impression. Karl Buenzz Must Serve Sentence. New York. United States Judge Harlan Howe announced Monday he would recommend to Attorney General Gregory that Karl Buenz, former German consul general and once head di. rector of the Hamburg-Ameriea- n line, is physically able to begin serving his sentence of eighteen months in Atlanta penitentiary. Dr. Buenz has been at liberty since his conviction last year of conspiring to defraud the government by issuing false manifests to ships with cargoes intended to supply German sea raiders. of Funds In Purchase of Bonds.

In proof that the words of the speakers wore sincere and practical, the members of the church at the Saturday session voted unanimously that tlie church purchase $250,000 of the Third Liberty loan issue, and nil the Semi-offici- neutral. With full expectation that the trade agreement concluded here a month ago would be promptly ratified in Madrid, the war board immediately provided the Spanish ships detained in port with bunker coal. U. S. Had Aided Spain. Exports which Spain wanted and badly needed were also released under the license system, and even more generously than the terms of the agreement required. During March 30 per cent more cotton was allowed to go out than had been contemplated under the reciprocal arrangements. Large of equipment railway shipments and great quantities of machine oils were al30 released.' There wag both surprise and indignation at the state department and the war trade board when the French government reported that the section of the agreement under which France was to be given financial credit In Spain had not become effective. The French had not asked for a loan, but Spanish money was to be made available for the purchase of army supplies in Spain upon securities furnished by the French government. The United States had agreed to let Spain obtain our supplies only upon agreement that the credit be made available. Alabama Man Roughly Handled. with Ala.
