Chihuahua City, Mex, June &c.
American columns have been advanc-
ing from the American field base in
the direction of San Antonio and Ojo
Caliente and Gen. Jacinto Trevino has
issued orders to attack them If they
do not Immediately retreat.
General Trevino said the Americans
would get the same treatment that
they received at CarriZal, as he is de-
termined to carry out his orders to the
letter.
In this, he said, he had all his sub
ordinates with him and they will stick
with him in case of a rupture.
FL Paso. Tex, June 26.-Troopers
of the Eleventh cavalry, riding to the
rescue of possible survivors Of the
Carranza treachery at Carrizal. en-
countered force of Carranzistas near
San Fernandos and are engaged in
battle.
This report was received in Ell Paso
through Mexican sources. No official
confirmation could be obtained from
General Bell at Fort Bliss.
On FORCED Hioe.
According to the report, the men Of
the Eleventh were dispatched on a
forced ride from Colonia Dublan after
the arrival there of four troopers who
had survived the Carrizal trap. They
had hopes of saving the men who were
reported trying to reach headquarters
Handicapped by the care of their
wounded.
Whether they found them alive--if
they found them at all-is prob
lematical. 1t has been three days since
the Carrizal battle. And there is no
water in the country.
What meager reports are available
indicate that the two squadrons of the
Eleventh continued their ride to the
eastward. This would bring them into
the vicinity of Gen. Jacob Trevino's
troops, who are under orders to at
tack any approaching American forces.
The last vestige of doubt as to
whether Intervention really will take
place seemed dispelled when 1t was
learned that Government officials are
engaging railroad experts and con-
ferring with them On the transport Of
troops into Mexico. Ell Paso was
unanimous in its belief that another
two weeks win see the start of the in
vasion.
Find Sixteen Survivors.
San Antonio, Tex, June 26.--Sixteen
more survivors of the Tenth cavalry
which was attacked by Mexicans at
Carrizal have been found, General
Pershing reported. His report was re-
ceived with considerable relief at Fort
Sam Houston, as 1t had been feared
that all the men unaccounted for had
been killed.
The sixteen troopers were found
northwest of Santa Maria by rescue
party headed by Lieutenant Meyers,
also Of the Tenth. This party also
recovered As horses.
General Pershing's report, the third
received from the commander of the
American field forces, said that the
stories of the latest survivors found
was practically the same as those told
by the first troopers to return to their
base. These were unanimous In as
sorting that the Mexicans ambushed
the American forces.
Eighty-four men are still unaccount-
ed for in General Pershing's official
report. All were members of troops
G and X. More than a score are un-
derstood to be prisoners at Chihuahua
city, leaving about go men still listed
as missing. These may turn up later,
though there is possibility that many
Of them persisted.
According to information given Gen.
eral Pershing by civilian scout, II
American troopers and two officers
were killed outright by the Mexicans-
