Remarkable Valor Slioun by Cap tain Boyd, Leading Handful of Men Against Machine Gun. Mexicans Are Blamed. FIELD HEADQUARTERS. June 26. (By wireless to Coiumous, N. M.) American negro troopers faced almost certain death at Carrizal with smiles in their eyes and slang: on their lips ani they burst into song once or twice as they fought their grim fight against odds. This was the story toid by Captain Lewis Morey when he ar rived at Field Headquarters today. "For 45 minutes .the. men .fought. Joking among themselves all tho while, even though they realized we had been trapped and had little chance of get ting out alive," he said. ... LleotenaDt Adair Iies a Hero. Captain Morey said he had never seen such valor as was displayed by Captain Charles T. Bord in leading a handful of dismounted skirm.shers through the machine-uun fire and into the ambush of death. He addd that It was not until tneir ammunition was exhausted that the troop was finally cut to pieces, and told of the heroic death of Lieutenant Henry R. Adair, of Portland, Or., in an attempt to re plenish it. Lieutenant Adair died fighting, . his last words being, "Go on, sergeant," to a non-commissioned officer at his side, Captain Morey said. The two were on their way to the pack animals carrying the ammunition, when they were intercepted near a small irrigation ditch by a detail of the Mexicans. Lieutenant Adair already had been wounded and lost his pistol in the-previous fighting, but he had bor rowed another and was fighting a hand-to-hand battle when he was killed. He fell backwards unconscious and was caught by the negro. sergeant as he slid toward the ditch which was deeply filled with water. Sergeant Told to Go On. The sergeant held Adair in his arms, his face above the water, until -he died, the wounded officer reviving only long enough to whisper orders to leave him and finish the mission. Captain Morey said that Captain Boyd told the men before the fight that they were advancing into the greatest danger. He reiterated that the Car ranzistas opened fire first from their machine-gun trench and asserted that almost immediately afterward a detach ment of the Mexicans circled to the rear and drove off numbers of the Americans' horses, which a few men had been left to hold while the cavalry men dismounted in line of skirmish. The size of the battlefield and the cover from which the Mexicans fougRt made it necessary for his troop and that of Captain Boyd to separate and to fight what were practically individ ual engagements. Captain Morey said. Captain Morey was brought here by troops of the Eleventh Cavalry sent to rescue Carrizal survivors after having led a handful of starving, panting troopers 40 miles over a sun-baked desert, to relief. The few crumbs of food they had were carried in their handkerchiefs and in their first-aid kits, while what water they had was 'arried in a baking powder tin, which they had picked up on the roadside.

Efforts tward Latin-American mediation In the Mexican crisis, favored by Carranza officials, collapsed today without hav ing reached the stage of a formal pro posal to the United States. It was made plain by Secretary Lan sing to Ignacio Calderon. Minister of Bolivia, who called with the Intention of asking whether the United States would entertain an offer of the services of its southern neighbors to aid in avoiding war, that the Washington Government sees nothing in the situa tion that warrants arbitration pro ceedings. Mr. Lansing talked with the Minister for half an hour, and is understood to have told him that the blame for the grave outlook rested squarely upon General Carranza. The altitude of the United States was so fully outlined that Mr. Calderon did not mention di rectly the original purpose of his visit. Time Is Inopportune. When the Minister left the State De partment he said the time "seemed in opportune," and that for the present the diplomatic representatives of six South and Central American countries who had approached the Mexican em bassy on the subject of mediation, and received assurances that the Carranza government was favorable to the prin ciple, would not tender their good offices to the United States. Acting on behalf of himself and other diplomats representing Salvador, Ecua dor, Honduras, Costa Rica and Chile. Mr. Calderon called at the department to inquire whether the United States would entertain an offer of good offices from the other American republics.

Menace to Americana Hut End. Mr. Lansing is said to have replied that the United States did not desire war, but that American lives and prop erty were being constantly menaced, and that it had been determined that such menace must cease forthwith. Later Mr. Lansing himself let It be known that the subject of mediation had not been directly referred to dur ing the conference. The intimation was that the Secretary made It so clear at the outset that a mediation proposal was not considered timely that the Minister considered his question an swered before it was asked.
