WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY IN
MEXICO. April 16 (via wireless to Co
lumbus, n. NJ. April 1S.-Brigadier
General Pershing arrived today at his
field headquarters near Namiquipa af-
ter an all-night ride from Satevo to con-
fer with his staff.
Men in Pershing's command brought
details of the Parral fight of April II,
which placed the matter in the light Of
a deliberate attack by Carranzista SOL
diers, even possibly OF an attempt TO
annihilate the little force Of ia cavalry
men under Major Tompkins.
After one OF his men had been killed,
Tompkins made up his mind that II his
command wTs3 going to be slaughtered
they would die fighting. He cut loose,
as one Of Pershing's men said. and the
Mexicans soon rere2ted, leaving over
forty dead on the field.
Tompkins held his men In restraint
until he noticed on an adjacent nil In
Parral a body of soldiers over whom the
Mexican flag was flying.
Guard Fired VOlley.
in answer to Tompkins question, Gen.
eral LoZango, Carranza officer who
led the main column into the city, told
him that the troops on the hill were
part of the garrison watching the move
ments of the Americans with intent to
guard them.
Just then the so-callcd guard fired a
voley into the American detachment
killing one trooper.
An enormous crowd of MeXicans, made
up largely of Carranza soldiers. had
surrounded the United States troops.
Previously there had been little
shooting which Tompkins thought was
in welcome to the Americans. He had
been met by Lozango. who promised a
welcome and a camp place. A non.com-
InissIoncd Softicer, dashed up 10 Tomp-
kins and reported that the Americans
had been fired on and a number wound

A squad OF eight skirmlshers was

defense. The mobs grew larger. Rife
and pistol FIRE at the Americans became
incessant. Then followed the incident
of the so-called Carranza guard on the
hill, and the reply OF the Americans.
