IFrom The Tribune Bureau

Washington, Dec. 14.-With the list
of killed and wounded as the result OF
shots across the border at Naco now
numbering more than fifty, Secretary
Bryan said to-day that there was no
change ID the situation and that the
troops there were still under instruc-
tions to avail. orders. The Secretary
of State declined TO give out the llst OF
casualties, because, ne said, the num-
Der of those who had been killed or
wounded on the Mexican side had not
been separated from the other casual
ties.
The State Department announced that
Thomas Francis and r. +. Lunn, Amerl-
cans. had been killed in Sonora, Mexico,
according to a report from the Amerl-
can consular agent at Cananea. NO de-
tails were given. 1t is probable that

General Carranza's answer TO the
Secretary Of States request that ms
troops at the border desist from hrlng
shots into American territory, whlch
Mr.. Bryan made public to-day, de-
clared that any use of force by the
American troops at Naco will be con-
sidered an act of hostility, however
well disposed the government may be-"
Reiterating his previous statements,
Carranza saws General Hill has con-
trolled his fire and that he is sending
instructions anew to the Sonora COM
mander TO avoid any firing that would
.endanger those across the American
border. He deplores that Americans
have been killed and wounded, but sug-
gests that these accidents have been
due TO carelessness by Americans, or
"imprudent curiosity" and cites similar
occurrences when Madero besieged
Juarez and Americans endangered their
lives by seeking points. of vantage in
FL Paso from which to view the fight
ing.
Finally, CarranZa points out that the
position of Hills troops, with their
backs to the American frontier, is such
that it would be impossible for their
fire TO enter American territory, and
consequently any shots from the Amer
.can side would be a direct aid TO the
Villa forces.
Secretary Garrison Of the War De-
partment reiterated to-day that the
Naco situation was up to the State De-
partment.
General Fuentes, an old Huerta fol-
lower, whose son is the husband Of one
of Huerta's daughters, was executed in
Mexico City. with four minor officers,
on the night of December Q, according
to a report to-day from Consul Silli-
man.
The Spanish Ambassador was in
formed by the State Department to-
day that Julian Zorolla, the Spaniard
threatened with execution at Tampico
as Villa supporter, had been released
as result of representations by the
United States.

has also failed TO notify any member
of the board of directors Of his present
whereabouts.
"These are all the facts we know
concerning his absence, but we have
learned to-day that he is not likely TO
return. We have examined the bank
to-day and we have counted the cash
and have failed to find that he has
taken any of the funds whatever"
Mrs. Half insisted that her husband
would return to lslip, and Half S
brothers all said he would. return, but
they would not say when. One of
them volunteered the information that
che will return and will be able TO
straighten out everything"
