|CARRANzA HAS RELEASED
U. S. NEGRO PRISONERS
These 20 Men Under Heavy
Guard Are on Train Bound
for Juarrez, Mexico.
MEXICAN OFFICIALS HAPPY
at Shows That We Don't Want
War;" Said Mr.. Garcia
Gonzales Optimistic.

Ell PASO, Texas, June %. -
President Wilson's p~eremptory
demand on Gen. Carranza for
the immediate release Of the
American prisoners held in Chi
huahua Penitentiary yesterday
met with compliance.
Late Wednesday afternoon it
was announced from the COM
mandent at Juarez that a mes
sage had been transmitted over
the Mexican telegraph, which
stated that the % negroes of the
Tenth Cavalry captured at Car
rial with Lem H. Spillsbury,
Mormon scout, had been remov-
ed from prison.
The message added that the
men, with their arms and ac-
coutrements, under heavy
guard, had been placed on a Mex
lean Central train bound for
Juarez, where they are expected
to arrive Thursday morning.
The telegram conveying this
news was addressed to Gen. Geo.
Bell, Jr., commander of the Ell
Paso base. 1t was signed by
Gen. Jacinto Trevino, comman-
der of the Mexican military dis
trict of the northeast, whose
headquarters are at Chihuahua
City.
"Shows We Don't Want War"
Gen. Bell, in keeping with his
secrecy regarding all military
developments, refused to say
whether or not he had received
the message. He said that all
announcements must come from
Gen. Funston at San Antonio.
On receipt of word that Gen.
Funston had given out the con-
tents of the message he said no
escort would be sent to meet the
prisoners this morning, but that
an officer would be delegated to
take command Of them and lead
them to Fort Bliss.
Mexican officials tonight were
happy over the turn of events.
They declared this would mean
a lessening of the tension of last
few days. Gen Francisco Con
gales, Juarez commander, and
Andres Garcia, Mexican Consul
at Ell Paso, both declared them
selves optimistic Of the future.
"This shows that we don't
want war unless it is forced up
on u.s." said Mr.. Garcia.
1t is expected that the arriv-
ing prisoners will form a hap
py party Accounts received at
the border have been to the eff.
effect the dusky troopers were
a gloomy lot on their way K
Chihuahua City. Only to-day 9
dispatch from that city quoted
one Of the prisoners as saying:

country we don't want to leave

Ell PASO, Texas, June 20. -
The % negro troopers of the
Tenth Cavalry, who at Carrizal,
Villa Ahumada, Chihuahua City
and Juarez have been central fig
ures in the most striking chap
ter of the Mexican situation, are
once more safely out of Mexico.
Survivors of the bloody en-
gagement with a vastly supe-
rior force, twice victims of mobs
that stoned them; more than
once gripped with the fear of
execution for their part in the
Boyd expedition, and, lastly, OBJ
jects of intercession by the Pres
ident Of the United States, they
were brought to the border from
Chihuahua City on a special
train today and turned over to
Gen. George Bell, Jr., comman-
der of the Ell Paso base.
Say Mexicans We're Aggressors
With them came Lem H.
ISpillsbury, the Mormon Scout,
who guided Capt. Charles I.
Boyd and his little command
over the trail that led to the Car
rial encounter. The troopers
were quartered at Fort Bliss,
awaiting orders from Gen. Fun
ston at San Antonio.
Two stories widely differing
were brought back from their
captivity by the prisoners One,
told by Spillsbury, upholds state
ments he was credited with max
ing at Chihauhau City, charging
Capt. Boyd with "bull-headed-
ness" in advancing in the face
of a certain Mexican attack.
The other, narrated by fighting
men Of the Tenth, declares the
Mexicans to have been the ag-
gressors.
The latter account is embei-
lished with charges hitherto moi
brought to light. Private w. D
Gibson declares he was certain
that after the Americans hat
quit the field Of the Carriza
fight, Mexicans went over it ant
killed several Americans WHIT
were wounded, but still alive.
Gibson's assertion was corrob'
GRATED by Privates Jones anc
Luther Alexander. Numerous
others of the troopers claimed
they had been robbed Of money
and valuables following then
capture.
The arrival Of Spillsbury ant
the negro troopers at the border
today took rank in the annals
of Ell Paso and Juraez with thu
recent visit of Gen Scott ant
Obergon. Thousands gathered
in both cities to witness thu
event.
