II is the cOacensus Of opinion In
this country that the American sol
dlcrs in Mexico have made remark
able showing OF bravery and efficiency
and that great credit is due both
! officers and men for the small num-
Der OF casualties which have attend
ed the punitive expedition.
I authentic accounts OF the affair al
/ Parral reflect great credit on Major
Frank Tompkins, who was in COM
mund Of the little American force
which was ambushed there through
the freachcry OF the Carrnnzlsias II
appears that on the day before Major
'fompkins took the precauton to
send word to Governor Herrera. Of
that state. announcing his approach,
asking advice as to n camping
ground ana for permission for the
soldiers To make purchases in the
city. The governor sent a messen-
ger to Major Tom l,kins. saying
camp would be selected and prepar-
ed for the Americans and that they
would be welcomed at the governors
house the following morning. while
m American merchant with whom
they .ould trade was named. Tho
following morning II Jor Tompklns
entered the town and marched -
the governors residence AS he was
leaving. Carranzista soldiers and cit
liens began to abuse and throw
stones at the command. Major
Tompkins. with great skill, led his
men from the town but, as they
reached the outskirts, the Carranzis-
Ia soldiers fired and two Americans
!c!! dead. A few minutes later Car
ranzistas fired several volleys from
earthworks outside the city. II was
when these yolleys were returned
that many Mexicans fell. 1t was
necessary to clear the earthworks be-
fore the attack ceased An examI-
nation of the camping ground select
ed by the governor showed that It
would have put the entire command
at tho mercy of the Carranzlstas ana
the military authorities believe tina;
only to the refusal of Major Tomp-
kins to accept the site designated
was complete massacre of the COM
mand averted.
From all quarters are coming re-
ports highly creditable to the bravery
and discipline of the American sol
diers. who have refraiued from ro-
prisals even when confronted with
the utmost provocaticn.
