Leader of De Facto Govern ment Issues Orders for Immediate Pursuit and Capture of Ones Guilty of Recent Atrocities.
Republican A. p. Leased Wire1

WASHINGTON, Jan. l6.-General Carranza today renewed his assur- ances to the United States that he would make every efort to punish those responsible for the murders of American mining men near San ta Ysabel.
 A dispatch from Consul Sillman to the state department dated at Quere tarO at 9:30 this morning. said Ca rranza mad personally assured MT Siliiman, in reply to the departments demand that the murderers be run down. that he had issued orders for the immediate pursuit. capture and punishment of those responsible for the atrocity."
 Simultaneously, in q dispatch to Eliseo Arredondo, his ambassador designate here, General Carranza an nounced that he was about to issue a decree permitting any citizen of Mexican nationality to shoot the ban dits without formality."
 Assurances that "condign punish= ment' would be visited upon the mur- derers had already been given the sttae department through MT Are dondo Whether a formal note from CarranZa is to follow has not been revealed.
 Carranzas s telegram to his en- bassy here follows:
 The government, under my direc- ton, has adopted every necessary measure to incure the prosecution of m energetic campaign for the cap ture and destruction of the party of Villista bandits and to continue the same to it's complete accomplishment. have asked General Jacinto B. Ire vino, commanding the constitutional ist troops in the neighbOrhood of the assa ssinations, to secure the names of the assassins, so that decree may be issued placing them outside the pale of law. When this is done any citizen or citizens of the republic will have the right to arrest the guilty parties without other warrant and to execute them without formality. Similar decrees were issued and executed effectively in the cases of assaults and dVnamitirg of trains in another section of the republic within the year, notably when a passenger train was dynamited and it's passen- gers assaulted near Apizaco and again near Jalapa. These decrees are made effective because in the opinion ot the government those who DerpetIlte such assassinations of human beings, be the victims native MeXicans or for eisners. must be considered in ex- actly the same category as those who 1 dynamite the railway trains. 1 sin

TYPHUS CAUSES
 PROMPT STEPS CONTAMINATION
Republican A. p. Leased Wire1


 FL PASO, Jan. 16.-The case of ty- phus which caused the death at the county hospital here yesterday of Mo potine Martinez, q Mexican recently ar rived from Piedras Negras, opposite Eagle Pass, prompted medical officers of the United States immigration ser vice to take immediately measures to prevent entrance of the disease into this country.
 Dr. John W. Tappan, immigration mdical officer here, received instruc- tions from Dr. C. c. Pearce, senior sur geon of the service to begin disinfect- ing persons from Mexico suspected of having been exposed to the disease. Gasoline baths and the baking of clothing in a dry heating device now under construction, will be employed.
 So far as Dr. Tappan has been able to ascertain, through agents of the immigration service and others, there are no cases of tYphus now in Juarez just across the Rio Grande. A train from Chihuahua. which is said to he carrying a large number of Americans and other foreigners, was expected to reach Juarez tonight. This train was derailed last night about half way between JuareZ and SamaIa yuca. Another train just behind it was bearing, according to JuareZ officials the body of Jose Rodriguez, the Villa bandit chief, who was captured and eX- ecuted as the commander of the ban dits who massacred eighteen Ameri- cans at Santa Ysabel last Monday. It was said, however, that this train might not reach JuareZ until tomor- row morning.
 Martin G. Rodriguez, superintendent of the JimineZ -Juarez division of the National Railways of Mexico, said to- 1 day that General Argumedo leading a ! band of 800 rebels believed to be al 1 lied with former adherents of the late 1 Gneral Huerta, was in the neighbor- 1 hood of Camanche south of Torreon. l Operations of trains between Chihua ! hua City and Madeira has been discon- I tinued.

of at least dozen more. Knives, re- volvers and clubs played a prominent part in the riot, eleven state troopers being among the injured.
 George Gresier, the dead man. was shot through the thigh, the bullet sev- ering an artery. Trooper Rois Sum ner, of Pottsville, sustained a fracture at the base of the skull and Joseph Tim of Du Pont, was shot through the lungs Neither is expected to live.
 This church has been the scene of half a dozen riots in as many weeks. one faction objecting to the authority exercised by Bishop NJ. I. Hoban of the Catholic diocese of Scranton and the other supporting him. Every time a newly appointed priest has sought to hold services he has been prevented from entering the church by the op- posing faction but today arrangements had been made to say mass under the protection of the sheriff. who called on 1 the state police. A detail of a dozen troopers was on hand when services were to have opened but so forbiddins was the attitude of the crowd that a
 call was sent in for more and twenty i four responded.
 Before the achievements arrived the i mob had attacked the first detachment ana when the second reached the
 scene most of the damage had been
 done. A second riot ensued, in which
 the fighting was spectacular.

eight were arrested immediately by Deputy United States Marshal w C. Carse.
 Sassaman and Carse had heated argument regarding the latter's right to place the crew under arrest. Sas- saman declared that interesting de- velOpments would follow tomorrow.
 Harry Weddle, in charge of the inn migration bureau here, said his de partment was not interested in the Ca lypsO and that if any action is taken il will be through the United States district attorneys office at Los Ange- les.

In Both Houses This Week Congressional Leaders EX- pcct Mexican Problem to Be the Dominant Subject in Proceedings.

Republican A. p. Leased Wire1
 WASHINGTON. Jan. 16-The prob
 lem of securing protection for Ameri- can life and property in Mexico. re- vived by the Santa Ysabel murders. is expected by congressional leaders to be dominant subject in the proceedings of poth houses the coming week. Issues arising from the European war have
 been completely overshadowed by it and conservation bills and other inn portant legislative measures under con- sderatiOn are not drawing the atten- ton that would ordinarily be given them.
 There IS certain to be more of the fervid discussion of the Mexican prob lem that enlivened sessions of the past week. Members of the house and sen ate are unanimous in their insistence that the Santa Ysabel bandits be pun ished but the majority oppose any step
 that would result in intervention.
 which must be destruction of the de
 facto government the United States
 and the Pan American nations led in
 establishing.
 Mexico will be the basis of formal consideration by the senate foreign re- lations committee beginning Wednes- day, when the nomination of Henry Prather Fletcher as ambassador to General CarranZas government will be taken up.
 Discussion of the Mexican problem on the floor of the senate and house is eXI ected to arise from consideration of various intervention resolutions. No committee acti0 non such resolutions is probable at this time. Senator Gore of Oklahoma, democrat. is considering submitting a resolution to direct the use of American armed forces as aids to the Carranza forces in protecting American citizens and neutral zone in Mexico.
 Legislation in congress is progressing [ slowly, none of the supply bills being anywhere near ready for discussion. The house has passed the administra- ton Conservation measures and the senate may take them up this week after passage of the Philippine self !! government extension bill. A vote on this measure is expected Wednesday or Thursday
