CARRANzA OFFILERS ARE HAPPY
Believe That This Action Will Mean
A Lessening of the Tension of the
Past Few Years-No Escort Sent for
The Released Men.

Ell PASO, Tex, June 29.-President
Wilson's peremptory demand on Gen.
Carranza for the release of the Ameri-
can prisoners held in the chihuahua
penitentiary Wednesday met with com.
pliance. An announcement from the
commandment in Juarez early last
night said a message had been re-
ceived over the Mexican telegraph
taht the twenty-three negroes of the
Tenth cavalry capaured at Carrizal,
with Lem H. Spillsbury, Mormon scout,
had been removed from the prisons
and with their arms and accountre-
ments were being brought to Juarez.
They are expected to arrive today on
Mexican Central train.
The telegram conveying this news
was addressed to Gen. George Bell,
Jr, commanding the El Paso base, 1t
was signed by Gen. Jacinto Trevino,
commander Of the Mexican military
district of the northeast, whose head
, quarters are at Chihuahua City.
Gen. Bell, in keeping with his Gus
tom Of maintaining close secrecy, re.
garding all military developments, re-
fused to say whether he had received
the message. He said that all an.
nouncements must come from Gen
Funston at San Antonio
On receipt of word that General
Funston had given out the contents OF
the message, he said no escort would
be sent to meet the prisoners, but an
officer would be delegated to take com
mand of them and lead them to Fort
Bliss.
| Mexican officials last night were
happy over the turn in events. They
said this would mean a lessening oi
the tension of the last few days. Gen
Francisco Gonzales, Juarez comman
der, and Andres Garcia, Mexican con
sui at Ell Paso, each said he regarded
the incident as reassuring.
"This shows that we don't. want wal
unless it is forced upon u.s." Mr. Gar
cia said.
