The war department had not re

from Captain I.owla S. Moray of the
10th cavalry living the flrat official

Carrixal.
The published text or Captain
Mnrey'a letter waa construed as In
dicating that the American force waa
to wm extent reaKnaible for the
clash. Officials noted this fact but
said that an official account from
Captain Moray would be the basis of
judgment rather than the hurrle.1
note written by a man. who was ex
porting death and was suffering from
wounds aud thirst.
It was pointed out. however, that
Secretary loinslng's note did not

that the Mexicans precipitated the
fight. Apparently the question ha
no direct connection with the course
President Wilson Is pursuing. The
