less to Columbus. n. M.)--That Capt.
| Lewis s. Morey is, either dead or a
prisoner was the assumption reached
here tonight when no reports had
been received from any of the three
officers who accompanied the troops
of the Tenth cavalry engaged at Car
rizal on Wednesday. Mexican reports
said that Capt. Charles T. Boyd and
Lieut. Henry Adair were among the
dead. Although sixty hours had elaps-
ed since the fight the only word of it
has been brought to General Perish
ing by nine enlisted men who strag-
gled into camp yesterday.
These men all insisted that Gen.
Felix Gomez, the Mexican command
er, and Captain Boyd parleyed, ap-
parently reaching an amicable conclu-
sion and that Immediately afterward
the Americans were led into a trap
from which the MeXicans opened fire
upon them with concealed machine
guns,
None Of the stragglers reaching
here we're able to give any informa-
ton as to the fate Of the remnant Of
the eighty-four men composing the
command.
Military authorities in El PasO last
night generally reached the conclu-
sion that the officer referred TO as

been wounded in the shoulder in
