Vne former insist that while the situation is filled with dangerous possibilities there is no reason to fear any immediate crisis. The local authorities, oh the other hand, are equally positive that there is grave danger'of an outbreak, which will set the entire border in a blaze. The federal officials are showing increasing irritation over the alarming reports about conditions which are g circulated here night and day, and which are being sent out to the rest of the country in news dispatches. They are fearful of the effect that these reports will have on the Mexicans who have shown many signs in the last few days of increasing restlessness. Consul Thomas D. Kdwards at Juarez and several other Americans resident in the Mexican town sent a telegram to the state department today vigorously protesting against the circulation of these reports and asking that some steps he taken to stop them. It is understood that similar messages have been sent to "Washington from other federal officers with a direct recommendation that a censorship be established here. No news of the reported fighting between the Carranzistas and Villistas near Namiqulpa or of the report from Mexican sources that the bandit chief and his followers were surrounded five miles south of Namiquipa by American and Mexican trodps, was received here today. consul According to the Mexican here, Andres Garcia, the Mexican wires have been cut between Casas Grandes and Madera. The same reason was given by Consul Garcia for the iearth of news following the first battle reported near Namiqulpa some days ago. The contradictory reports received from Mexican sources and the absence of any definite Information from General Pershing have raised new doubts here as to the status of affairs in thed district where Villa is supposed to be. The fact that the American field commander made no reference in his report toda of any fighting. In spite of the fact that he announced that American troops were at El Valle, only forty miles from Namiquipa, was regarded as significant. pole. From Tasmania the second section meanwhile had sailed, also for the P.oss sea, there to meet Sir Krnest's expedi- tion with supplies necessary for both sections to return to New Zealand. Sir Krnest hoped originally to come t ut of the Antarctic by April,' 1915, but conditions far from propitious made a change of plan. The section which started' from Tasmania was obliged to spend the winter of 1915-1- 6 at the Uoss sea base to await Sir Krnest's arrival, which had been expected aome time this month. Sir Krnest safled in the with rigx'l-lar- y Kndurance, a engines, which gave her a speed. This vessel, of 360 tons, was built with "wooden walls" two feet thick, of almost solid oak. After leaving Soutli Georgia, Sir Krnest and his party, although equipped' with a limited wireless apparatus, had no i ommunication with the civilized world. Friends of the explorer, however. , did not express anxiety, believing it improbable that he would bee heard from until the homeward from Itoss sea was well under way. three-maste- r, ten-kn- c voy-aff- ot Ilerrera' status Tloubtful. The status of Gen. Luis Ilerrera was considered here .".s doubtful today, as it has been since the first report reached here of his revolt. In spite of reports from American consuls and emphatic statements from Carranza generals and officials, the belief that Ilerrera had either turned against the de facto government or was on the point of doing so was firmly held here. Americans arriving here from the interior today gave fresh color to this belief by circumstantial stories of defection and asserted that he was today between Chihuahua and Parral. marching toward Torreon with at least 2000 troops. Seven privates, suffering from various ailments, reached here today from the front and were taken to Fort Bliss hospital. The most seriously ill was Private Robertson of the Sixth infantry who was stricken with paralysis on the march. All told stories of the privations suffered by the American troops in their dash across the Chihuahua desert. They complained especially of the raging thirst from which the soldiers suffered constantly and also of the distress caused by the chilly nights which followed burning days. Numbers of the soldiers, thej- said, were in agony from swollen feet, intensified by the sand which 'sifted into their shoes and cut th skin. Private Dobell of the Sixth infahty, one of the seven, has been unable to wear shoes for some days on account of the enormous size to which his blistered feet have swollen. "If any of our men did not want to shoot Villa when they started," he said, "they surely want to skin him and boil him alive now." One hundred members of the expenow at the base ditionary force are are said to be hospital. Thirty-fiv- e seriously ill.

Sergeant Arnold disappeared Sunday afternoon and no trace of him has been found. Sergeant Arnold is 53 years of age, and on April 1 would have completed his thirty years of service in the army. His retirement papers already have been sent to Washington with the approval of his ranking officers.. During the last two years he has been stationed at various times in Kl Paso, Naco, Nogales, Douglas and other border towns. His home is in Fort Riley, Mexican -- Kan.
