gress today to appropriate two mill
ion sixhundred and fifty thousand

ROUNDING UP
MORE RECRUITS
Lieut., Marsh Secures New Names to
the Muster Roll of Company A
Almost Every Hour

Lieutenant Marsh this morning
went to Belleview, Summerield, East
lake, Weirsdale and Oklawaha for the
purpose of obtaining recruits, expect
ing to return to Ocala about 2
o'clock this afternoon. He received
orders this morning to remain in
Ocala until advised to join his COM
pany, even if in the meantime he has
recruited the full war strength of $50
men.
Lieutenant Marsh will tonight send
his recruits to Black Point if he has
as many as ten by that time; which he
probably will have, as he had five this
morning.

STORM STRUCK THE CITY
Wrath Visited on OcaIa by Outburst
of Wind and Rain

The terrific rain, hail and wind
storm which broke over the city about
1890 this afternoon did considerable
damage, tearing telephone, telegraph
and electric wires from their fasten-
ings, ripping off shutters and blowing
over large trees. So far as can be
learned there has been no loss of life,
however, although there was at least
one narrow escape.
The large tree on the north side of
Broadway next to the Collier block
was blown over, ripping up the
cement sidewalk, and tearing out
some wires across the street. A few
minutes before the tree fell City Clerk
Henry Sistrunk's car was parked just
where it would have got the full blow
of the crashing branches. Mr.. Sis
trunk and Miss Helen Scott had hes
itated about leaving the city hall in
the downpour, but decided that they
would risk it and drove off in the car
just before the tree fell.
During the storm Mr.. A. E. Gerig's
news shop was flooded from a drain
pipe. The scuttle on the roof of. the
Merchants building was ripped off by
the wind, and as result the rain
poured in, flooding the floor directly
under it, some of the water leaking
down into the kitchen of Dewey's
cafe.
. A short circuit caused by a wire
blown against a tree put the electric
lights out of commission for a few
minutes at 2 o'clock.

AMERICANS HELD PRISONERS
Chihuahua City, June Seven
teen negro troopers of Troop H, Tenth
cavalry, who were captured at the
fight at Carrizal, were brought here
yesterday, with Lem Fl. Spillsbury, a
Mormon scout who was employed by
General Pershing, and were interned.
CAPT. BOYD KILLED
Spillsbury said that Captain Chas.
T. Boyd, who commanded the Ameri-
cans, and Lieutenant Henry r. Adair
were among the killed, and that a
captain named Moore, who was with
the American detachment, was
wounded in the shoulder but escaped.
In announcing the story of the bat
tie Spillsbury said it was told him
that General Trevino, the commander
of the Carranza army of the north,
declared that at any time and at any
place American troops moved other
than toward the border he will comply
with Carranza's order and attack
them as General Gomez did. He said
diplomatic arrangements were outside
of his sphere.
Spillsbury said that Captains Boyd
and Moore and Lieutenant Adair and
himself and seventy-six negroes of
Troop H, Tenth cavalry, comprised
the American detachment and that he
saw the bodies of Boyd and Adair and
at least eleven negroes on the field.
Trevino quotes SpilIsbury as say
ing that Captain Boyd ordered his
men to advance on the theory that
General Gomez was bluffng; that the
American officers were hit at the first
volley and that the negroes with their
mounts fed, leaving seventeen afoot,
who surrendered.
HEMMING PERSHING IN
Ell Paso, June 23.-Juarez was
practically evacuated last night by
Carranza troops.
Mexican reports indicated that vir-
tually all the Mexican troops were
forming a horse shoe curve around
General Pershing's command, and
have abandoned their stations in the
vicinity of Casas Grandes, Elvalled,
Namiquipa and San Antonio.

COLUMBUS IN NO DANGER

Columbus, N. NJ, June 23.-Amer-

detail of Carranza troops encamped
about twenty miles south of here.
Efforts to determine whether the de-
tachment was an advance guard of
some of the forces which evacuated
Juarez yesterday were futile. No ap-
prehension is felt for the safety of the
camp here.

Washington, However, is Great
ly Worried
CONGRESS WILL NOT Do ANYTHING THAT WILL BRING ON A
PREMATURE CONFLICT
CAssociated Press)

Washington, June 23.-Gen. Per-
shing's preliminary report of the Car
rial fight was taken to President
Wilson early this morning by Secre-
tary of War Baker. It is based on
the stories of stragglers reaching the
expeditionary headquarters and Mex
lean rumors. Gen. Pershing doesn't
regard the report as an official state
ment. No change in the administra-
tion's policy is expected until the Of
fetal report is received. The report
is understood to be substantially the
same as contained in press dispatches
last night. Secretary Baker denied
the rumors that plans were on foot
for an immediate call for volunteers.
He said there had been no additional
orders issued for troop movements.
WASHINGTON is WORRIED
Government officials are greatly
worried over their failure to get news
from surviving officers of the force
engaged at Carrizal. Only a few
stragglers reached Gen. Pershing's
headquarters yesterday. No word has
been received from the troops sent to
find the shattered command. General
Pershing hopes to be able to report
today.
CONGRESS WON'T INTERFERE
Chairman Stone of the Senate for
iegn relations committee, after talk
ing with Secretary Lansing today,
said that Congress would do nothing.

tions.
FEW AMERICANS IN MEXICO
CITY
Mexican embassy dispatches today
said the news of the Carrizal fight
was received in Mexico City without
demonstration. Civilian and military
officials are markedly active. The peo-
pie considered the Mexican troops
justified in attacking the American
soldiers.
The embassy told consular officials
IL is believed there are not more than
$50 Americans remaining in Mexico
City.
ARREDONDO AND TREYINO Do
NOT AGREE
Ambassador Designate Arredondo
v Arredondo told Latin-American Dip
lomats here today that the Mexican
troops were ordered not to attack
Americans unless the latter were the
aaggressors. This directly contradicts
Trevino's threat of attack if Ameri-
cans moved other than to the north.
1t is regarded as an attempt to align
Latin American sympathy with Mex
IN leo.
JAPAN GIVES NO CONCERN
Washington, June 23-O Officials here
refuse to be disturbed by reports that
Japanese in Mexico are hostile to the
United States. The figures of the Jap
pnese embassy here show that there

in Mexico, and embassy officials said
they had no information of the pres

STORY OF THE STRAGGLERS
San Antonio, June ga few
stragglers who have reached Gen.
Pershing's headquarters give the fol-
lowing report of the Carranza fight:
Two troops of the Tenth cavalry,
Company C, commanded by Captain
Charles T. Boyd, and Company K,
commanded by Captain Lewis S..
Moorey, comprised the detachment
that advanced within mile of Car
rial at a. M, June 21. They had
stopped at Ola de Santo Domingo on
the previous night, resuming their
march towards the east at o'clock
next morning.
|! From their position in front of aCr-
rial the commander of the detach-
ment, believed by General Pershing
to have been Captain Boyd, since he
was senior in rank to Captain Moorey,
sent forward a Mexican guide to get
from the commander of the Mexican
garrison there permission to pass thru
the town.
General Felix Gomex sent back
word by the guide that the Americans
might pass through if they would con-
sent to parley. Without waiting
for the commander of the American
force to reply, General Gomez, acom-
panied by an aide, appeared and the
American office rrode forward to talk
with him.
While they were talking, the men
told General Pershing, the Mexican
troops moved forward in force and
deployed in such manner that there
appeared danger of the American
force being surrounded. One of the
men said the American officer appear
ed to protest against the positions
General Gomez's troops were taking.
"A few minutes later General Gomez
rode toward one end of the Mexican
line and Immediately after he got
there the Mexicans began the attack,
sweeping the American line with
machine gun.
1t was not until then, according to
the stragglers, that the American
commander gave orders for both
troops to dismount and return the
fire.
AMERICANS WERE OUTNUM-
BERED
Columbus, N NJ, June 23.-The
troop from the Tenth cavalry which
clashed with the Carranza troops at
Carrizal held the field for five hours
before retreating, although they were
outnumbered five to one, according to
unofficial reports here. The Ameri-
cans then withdrew when heavy Mex
lean reinforcements were brought up.
1t has been learned that courier
from the battlefield reached General
Pershing's base at Colonia-Dublan
late yesterday and the official report
is expected shortly.

at some remote period occupied the

in horizontal beds and mostly in the

prone to do under the circumstances

touched to the ink which has been
