CarranZa Recalls Men
from River After Two
Bandits Are Killed.

Brownsville, Tex, Sept. 5.-Two
Mexican bandits were shot to-day by
American soldiers, who returned the
bandits fire across the no Grande at
Cavazos Crossing. The gravity Of the
situation was somewhat relieved by the
active cooperation of Carranza mill
tary authorities, who removed Car
rama troops from the river bank at
Cavazos Crossing and promised to try
to keep their men away from the river.
It was learned to-day that one Car
rama officer and one civilian, known
as a CarranZa supporter, were killed in
the fighting at Cavazos Crossing yes
terday between American soldiers and
Mexican bandits.
Captain Frank R. Mccoy, in com
mand Of the troops az the crossing
fight, reported that there probably
were other casualties among the Mexi-
cans yesterday. It is said az least a
dozen MeXicans were seen to fall dur
Ing the fight.
The total American casualties in yes
terdayS and to-day's shooting were one
man slightly wounded and one horse
injured.
Carranza Troops Withdrawn.
To-day's fight at Cavazos Crossing
was soon over. Captain Mccoy, who
had withdrawn his men from the river
front, sent an observation party to the
crossing this morning. This party re-
ported to Colonel Billiard that they
saw a body of men on the Mexican side
who preserved military order, and that
they heard military bugle calls. Colo
mel Bullard. through the Carranza
consul. notified General Nafarrete, who
replied he would order the men away
from the river bank at once, and gave
assurances that if there should be any
firing at Cavazos Crossing II would not
come from his troops.
Later Captain Mccoy reported that
the Carranza troops had been with
drawn, but after they had left the OBJ
servation party saw about a dozen
Mexicans at the southern bank of the
river. whom they took to be bandits or
irregulars. The observation party was
ordered TO keep out of sight, but one
of the troopers, hidden in a tree, made
a movement which attracted attention
and drew a shot from the Mexican
bank. The observation party then
opened fire and, according to the official
report. knocked two MeXicans over
The other Mexicans escaped. Captain
McCoy's men said they thought they
recognized the MeXicans as part OF a

Turin, Sept Dispatch to London
Daily Chronicle .-Sesis Pass, near
the famous He'll Valley, or Valud In
ferno, the only pass in the Carnic Alps
sector to which the Austrians have sue
ceeded in clinging, has been finally
wrenched from their grasp IN glo-
rious combined assault from, many
points. This has left the Alpini mas
ters of the entire range of Mounts
Ciadenis and Ayanza.
The scene of the fighting lies at an
altitude of 1000 feet. Every peak OF
these mountain tops was stubbornly
defended by small enemy groups. Being
strongly intrenched, the task of dis
lodging them utterly has cost a weeks
persistent strife. Though Monte Croce
Pass is situated $3.50 feet lower and
has the advantage of fine carriage
road, Sesis Pass was much more highly
priced b. the Austrians on account Of
its infinitely greater strategic value,
for, besides penetrating some two miles
of Italian territory, il connects Wave
Valley with Zeglia Valley and is the
point where the two largest Venetian
rivers diverge
