AMERICAN TROOPS SENT MEXICO

that the necessary permission will be granted.
 WASHINGTON, March 10. - The department of state has so far re ceived no expression of regret from the Carranza government in Mexico on account of the massacre of Ameri- can citizens at Columbus, New Mexi- co, by the Villa bandits. Neither has the Washington government received any offer to cooperate with the Am erican troops in hunting down Villa and his band. If one does come from the Mexican authorities 1t can hardly be refused and will no doubt be ac- cepted. Secretary of State Lansing has notified Senor Arrendondo, Car ranza's ambassador to this country, of the decision of the United States to send troops across the Mexican frontier. Lansing, in his official note on the matter, said that no matter how far the American troops pene- trated into Mexico CT what numbers

WASHINGTON, March 10. - The government considers that the mas sacre of the Americans by Villa at
 Columbus, New Mexico. is a closed incident as far as the army is con cerned. The war department has mo- thing further to do with the situation, and Funstons recommendation that he be authorized to send American troops across the border for the pur- pose of destroying the bandit gangs, will be considered solely by the state department, which will take up the matter with the Carranza government. The negotiations with Carranza have already been commenced, and it is felt

as last October he had decided to wage war on the American towns near tue Mexican frontier. Villa is now at the head of the main detachment of his bandits, about fifteen miles south of the international boundary line. The army officials are exercising the utmost vigilance to anticipate any further raids. It is estimated that over a hundred of Villas band were killed by the American troops yester- day, and about two hundred wound ed The total American losses were eight civilians and eight soldiers killed. Five of these civilians were killed by Villa before he attacked this city. A pocket book belonging to T. NJ. Evans was found on the dead body of Pablo Lopez. Villas chief officer. Evans was one of the Americans killed in the Santa Isable massacre, when nineteen Americans were taken from a train, lined up along the railroad track and shot

the same delegates at each. The twenty delegates named tonight in clude many former Wickersham men, and some who affiliated with the Democrats in the past. Shackleford's name does not appear on the list. He stated that he wanted to exercise his right as Republican to make chal- lenges and see that the proper delega- tion was seated at Seward, which, of course, means the men he can control. He accused Attorney John Rustgard and NJ. J. O'Connor of trying the rule or ruin policy with the Republican party, which statement is taken as joke here, where it is so well known how Shackleford has heretofore con

 DENIAL OF ANY DEAL

The local Wickersham supporters do not place any credence in the stories being circulated to the effect that the delegate to Congress and l.. P. Shackleford have formed any alli- ance, as they have positive assurances from Judge Wickersham that such is not the case.
 Harry Thisted. who is one of Wick ersham's closest friends. recently sent him the following cablegram: Re ported you have made combination with ShacklefoTd Local Republicans want to know Such a combination is objectionable to your local support CTS and Republicans"
 An emphatic denial was received by Mir. Thisted from Delegate Wicker sham, as follows: q have not, and will not make any combination, politi- cally or otherwise, with Shackleford or any one else"

GAGOFF HANGED WHITE HORSE
 YESTERDAY

WHITEHORSE, March 10. - Alex. Gagoff, the Russian who killed four section hands employed by the White Pass railroad, near thisS city, on Sep tember 30. 1915, was executed in this city today. The authorities construct ed special gallows for the occasion and the convicted murderer was hanged at o'clock this morning. Ga golf was perfectly calm and seemed less concerned over the affair than any of the officials connected with it. He ate well last night at dinner, and slept soundly all night long, awak- ing on the call of the guards. He arose leisurely, ate a hearty breakfast and walked with a firm and unfalter- ing step to the gallows, ascending the gallows steps as nonchalantly as if he was entering his own home after a days work An interpreter was present, and the condemned man was asked if he had anything to say be- fore the death penalty should be car ried out. Gagoff responded No" and the trap was sprung immediately af- ter The attending physicians said that death was instantaneous, the mans pulse ceasing to beat within four minutes from the springing of the trap.

Villa and his outlaws. The expedition will have but single object, that of or killing Villa, incidentally destroying his bandit gangs, and eff fectually putting a stop to such raids as were pulled off at Columbus yes terday. The administration states that this can, and will be done in an entire ly friendly spirit with the aid of the constituted authorities of Mexico, and
 with scrupulous respect for the sover- eighty of Mexico. The President stated that neither Mexico nor the United States considered this puni- tive expedition an invasion of Mexico.
 This country will continue to deal with the Carranza government as the recognized existing authority there, but the United States has decided that the peace of both countries Is imperil- led by the continued activity of Villa.
 The cabinet has considered the mat ter and has unanimously decided that Villa must be captured or killed. No

WASHINGTON, March 10. - The American embassy at Constantinople reported to the state department to- day that the Russians were landing large bodies of troops along the coast of the Black sea in Asiatic Turkey. The fall of Trebizond is hourly ex- pected, the town having already been shelled by the Russian fleet, and the soldiers are within a few miles of the town The German consul at Trebi . zond has fled, turning over his af- fairs and archives of his office to the American consul there, who has re ported the facts to the ambassador at the Turkish capital.

JUNEAU, March 10. - All is not harmony among the Republicans of the first division, and from present indications there will be two primar- ies held in Juneau on Saturday. each of which will elect twenty delegates to the territorial convention at Sew ard on April 19. The fight has arisen over the fact that Robert C. Hurley, stenographer in Shackleford's em- ploy, and who acted as secretary of the last Republican territorial conven- tion, held at Cordova, claims he holds the proxy of Committeeman Charles Wells, for Juneau, and insists upon calling the primaries. Under the call the nearest committeeman Is

WASHINGTON, March 10. - Presi-
 dent Wilson has ordered that Ameri- can troops along the Mexican border, Scross the frontier and pursue and cap ture General Villa and his band of outlaws, who raided the town of Co., lumbus, New Mexico, yesterday. At present there are about five thousand
 American troops in Texas, New Mex ico and Arizona, under the command of General Funston, and it is probable that the entire force will be used for the expedition. This action will not mean armed intervention, but pro vides simply for a punitive expedition to deal with the lawless forces over which Carranza's government has no control.

The Republican primaries, to elect eight delegates from Cordova to the Seward convention, will be held at the City Hall this afternoon. between the hours of 1 and 6 o'clock, and every Republican is urged to turn out and vote.

trolled the primaries, by holding them in his office behind locked doors and refusing admission to any and all Republicans who refused to wear his collar.
 Rustgard charges that Shackleford and Wickersham have made an alli- ance to steam-roller the Republican party in Alaska. There have been rumors of such a deal for some time past. and as Shackleford is now in favor of an open primary, where all Republicans can participate, the friends of Wickersham are baking against a continuation of the Shackle- fordism, no matter at what price it has been secured.

MARSHAL STOPS SHIPMENTS OF
 LIQUOR

United States Marshal Branneman has instructed Deputy Brightwell to notify the saloonmen of Cordova to discontinue shipping liquor to Me Carthy, Chitina and points along the srailroad. This is a most remarkable Aodict for any federal official to issue, and as no explanation is offered for this drastic measure, there is consid- erable surprise and indignation eX- pressed by many people. Upon what authority such a step was taken is also puzzling, and those who claim to be versed in the law contend that the marshal has made fatal blunder' 4 Whether he has is matter that will Il likely be threshed out, and the out come is awaited with considerable interest.
 The railroad is common carrier and as it's operations are regulated solely by the Interstate Commerce Commission, it cannot refuse to ac- eept any shipments.

Driving attack after attack against the French. they met with q stonewall resistance, and a machine gun fire which swept their lines full of gaping holes again and again, and resulted in the French lines not even being bent, much less broken.
