of General Gavira that General Persh

outskirts of Casas Grandes and had
plunned to enter the town during the

General Funston that the punitive
expedition had gone that far south.
It was known that General Pershing
was pushing his columns, but to have
reached Casas Grandes last night the
troops would have had to make an
average march' of about SO miles a
day.
What General Pershing Intends to
do In answer to the refusal of the
Mexican commander to allow him to
enter the town or to pass through It
was not known at General Funston's
headquarters, but It was not regard
