U S. SOLDIERS EMBROIDERED
 ON A RETREAT

SAN ANTONIO, April lS.--A do- tailed report of the Parral affair. received from Maj. Frank Tompkins to Maj.-Gen, Frederick Funston. diff fers entirely from the unofficial yer sion. The official report shows that the Carranza soldiers engaged the American cavalry and the carranza officers lost entire control of their men.
 Maj. Tompkins. with 100 armed troops of NJ and K Infantry. entered Parral on invitation Of the command ing officer at Parral. This officer met the American troops ten miles from the town. The Americans en- tered and were moving out to des- ignated camp when citizens and Car. ranza soldiers began shooting and throwing stones. the Carranza officers lost control of the men.
 When the shooting started Maj Tompkins gave an immediate order and the Americans retreated. He placed his men in a defensive posi- ton behind a railway embankment outside of the town.
 The mob respected the advantage Of the position taken, but within short time there appeared on the American flank 300 Mexicans who began fir. a military fashion for a formal attack.
 Maj. T'hompldns, still ayerse to fighting in anything but defensive manner against the Mexican forces, since every American officer of the punitive expedition had had 1t i'm pressed upon them that clashes with the defactos must be avoided, ordered a retreat This only ended when Santa Cruz was reached, the Mexi- cans pursuing them the entire dis tance. During the last ten miles the Americans contended themselves with rear guard action.
 Maj. Tompkins reached Santa Cruz just before dark and there met Col. onel Brown and Major Young with squad of the 10th Inf. This made a force then of 500.
 Brig Gen. Pershing reported today to Maj.-Gen. Funston. Mai. ToInp- kins deserves great praise for his forbearance."
 Maj.Gen. Funston said that while Major Tompkins undoubtedly acted in accordance with his best judg' ment in retreating, he regretted that he had not made stand on account of the illehect the story will have on the Mexican people who naturally regard the incident as an American defeat.
