WASHINGTON, Juno 19. A clash be ' tween Carranza soldiers and American teamen from the gunboat Annapolis at Mazatlan was called to the attention of the Washington Government today by Oeneral Carranza s ambassador here. with a request that In the existing tense situation no men be landed In Mexico from American warships under any circumstances. The -incident, which oecurred yester day, resulted in casualties on ' both sides and in the capture by the Mex icans of two American oficers, who. after an explanation, were released, ac cording to the report presented by the ambassador. A dispatch from Admiral winslow, of the Pacific fleet, announc ing the capture of the men, made no mention .of their release, but officials assumed it had occurred after the mes sage was sent. The only American in jured was Boatswain's Mate I. M. Laughter, whom the Admiral reported was "gravely wounded." Admiral's Report Brief. Admiral Winslow sent only a brief account of the incident, and Navy De partment officials immediately re quested a more detailed report. Late tonight it ' had not been received. Meantime there was no indication that the ambassador's request would alter in any way the Administration's plans for protecting Americans in Mexican coast towns, which would involve send ing marines and bluejackets ashore to bring off refugees should any emer gency require it. More than a score of American war vessels already are in Mexican waters, en route there, or be ing, held In readiness to go as refuge chips. SAN DIEGO, Cal June 19. An ul timatum amounting practically to a declaration of war against the United States was served Sunday on Com mander Arthur Kavanagh, of the gun boat Annapolis, by General Flores, Carranza governor of the state of Elnaloa, according to a radio . gram sent from the Annapolis at Maz atlan and received here today by Ad miral Winslow, commander-in-chief of the Pacific fleet. Americans Kept at Mazatlan. Owing to the low-powered radio set of the Annapolis, uifficulty has been i experienced In communicating with the f gunboat, but enough facts haye come J through to indicate that General Flores had taken a hostile stand I against Americans and that it was his S refusal to permit Americans to leave ' Mazatlan that resulted In the clash Sunday between bluejackets of the 3 Annapolis and Mexicans characterised T as Carranza soldiers. The substance ; of his ultimatum has not yet been re- celved. According to word received here, the commander of the Annapolis advised J all Americans in the vicinity of Mazatlan to leave as soon as possible. 3, A boat from the war vessel contain ing Ensign O. O. Kessing. Paymaster Andrew Mowat and a number of blue Jackets approached the wharf. Ensign Kessing' being under orders from Com- -, mander Kavanagh to arrange with the Mexican authorities to get out all Americans. Without provocation it Is , , reported, the Mexicans 'opened fire on the sailors, and Boatswain's Mate L. M. Laughter was seriously wounded. 2' Americans returned the fire, and as far as is known six Mexicans were either killed or wounded. Earlier re- ports that a drunken Japanese started the trouble are not borne out In re ports received here. Ensign Kessing '' and Paymaster Mowat were taken pris oners and sent to the fortress, but later released on demands presented .' to Flores by Commander Kavanagh. 2 The Mexica'n state of Slnaloa is sit- - uated between-the Gulf of California and the states of Durango and Chl ; huahua, and contains an area of 33,671 ; 3 square miles.

The, new : witnesses, Mary Dunn and Edith Kennedy, testified they heard part of the conversation over the tele phone wire between young Orpet and Marlon on the night of February 8, the night before her death. In sub stance the conversation was, said to have been: '- Orpet-Hello. Marion. This is Will. Are you -coming out? Marlon No; " Orpet (pleadingly) Oh, take a chance and come on.."

The girls were among the 17 girls at Marions birthday party February b. The others testified previously. The entire number except Josephine Davis were agreed on one point impeaching the testimony of Miss Davis, who spent the night of February 8 with Marion, and who was at the party. Josephine testified that when she ana Marion were alone at the party for a moment Marion said that she was very unhappy and that if Orput was untrue to her she would kill herself. All the others testified that they had not seen the two alone together, and were practically certain that they had not been.
