Secretary OF the Navy Daniels and his
naval advisors and Senators Lodge, Till

Naval Committee OF the Senate, 1t was
decided to urge an increase in the naval

dation is adopted by Congress. President
Wilson is strongly backing the plan.
The plan for four super-Dreadnought
battleships and four battle cruisers
adopted by the Senate subcommittee for
this years building program. has not
been changed. The crowding OF the en-
tire building program OF five years into
three years amounts to almost doubling
the naval increase. and calls for the ex-
penditure Of $500, 900 OOO
BY January l. 1919. the United States
Navy will be comprised Of the following
ships. IL the recommendation is adopted

Dispel Doubt as to Car
rial Massacre.
tBy the Sun News serxice.) }


San Antonio. Tex, June B-Au doubt
as to the treachery manifested by the
Mexican soldiers under Gomez, when they
opened fire on two American troops at
Carrizal last Wednesday morning, was
dispelled completely today by the finding
OF the body OF Capt. Boyd, who paid with
his life for his trust in the Mexicans
Capt Boyd's body was found in the
desert by Maj. Jenkins, who has been
searching for the American dead and
survivors from the Carrizal fight, with
detachment of the Eleventh Cavalry.
In Capt Boyd's pocket was found a
note book containing a carbon copy of
letter he had sent to the Mexican
chief at Carrizal, and the original of a
note from Gen. Gomez, the Mexican
commander. bearing the signature OF the
Mexican, who also was killed in the firing
which followed his order to his men to
fire upon the Americans.
There is also carbon copy Of a note
Capt Boyd dispatched to Gen. PERISH
ing, in which he told of his intentions
of going on to Villa Ahumada.
An outline of the purport OF these
documents. forwarded by Maj. Jenkins
to Gen. Pershing. was sent by the COM
msnder of the American expeditionary
force to Gen. Funston today.
The papers prove:
That Capt Boyd halted his troop and
that of Capt. Lewis S. Morey while he
sent word to the Mexican authorities Of
Carrizal that the Americans were on a
peaceful mission, and that he asked for
permission to pass through Carrizal
That Gen. Gomez replied in his own
handwriting by inviting Capt. Boyd and
his men to enter Carrizal for a con-
ference.
The full wording of these interchanged
notes has not been forwarded here, but

them, was: 1T looks like treachery to
