'from Chihuahua City reported having
seen 12 nejtrocs and three white men
prisoners In the Mexican city. This

El Paso, Texas, June 14. (U. P.)
Alon the border tonight the merits
of the Carrizal incident did not "cut
much ice" Mexican claims reiterat
ing that Captain Boyd paid with his
life for provoking the Carranzistas to
attack the 84 troopers of the Tenth
cavalry were met by demands for
( ngeance.
According to the best available in
formation, the Carranzistas took IT
prisoners and ftii more are reported
en route to Chihnahua City Twentv
three of 27 survivors have reached
the American lines at Dublan.
Authentic information received to
night again declared that most of the
lemainder who fled unmounted. Into
1 he sand hills were run down by the
Mexican cavalry and killed. N'ot a
commissioned officer Is believed to
have survived to tell the true story or
the treachery charged, against the
Mexicans.
Officers Believed. Killed.
- If General Pershing is awaiting tho
return 6f one of the commissioned of
ficers before making his final report,
it Is feared he may find their dead
bodies on the cactus-decked plains,
the prey of wolves and coyotes.
Chihuahua City advices stated that
General Trevino threatened General
Pershing with another Carrizai if re
ports of American movements south
ward from Namiquipa were true. On
the other hand, the Columbus camp
received Jntimations that a retrograde
movement was In progress from Nami
quipa, further shortening the punitive,
expedition's lines.
Desiring war and believing war In
evitable, the Border tonight is pre
paring to handle its own Mexican
problem. Many towns are expected to
follow the example of Bisbee, Ariz.,
where business men raised $5000 to

buy ammunition through local deal
ers to supply 200 home guards.
Mexicans Must Act First.
The treatment of the American pris
oners In Chihuahua City was the sub
ject of conflicting advices tonight.
Mexican reports claimed the negroes of
the Tenth cavalry were being well
served in the grim Chihuahua peni
tentiary. Arrivals from tbe Chihuahua
capital, however, declared the men were
jeered when they were taken through
the streets to a stockade. Carran
zlsta officers were charged by the
passengers with grossly insulting the
American soldiers and giving their unl
forms to Carranzlsta privates.
