DEFIANT ANSWER FROM
CARRANZA Is ANTICIPATED
Wilson Ready to Act Promptly If De-

Government.

Washington, July although no

eminent to the American demand for
an explanation of it's purposes has

Mexico City indicated that q defiant
answer was being prepared there.

in answer to Carranza's demand for
withdrawal of the troops, appears to
bear out these advices.
There is every reason to believe
that Mr.. Wilson will act promptly if

trail figures in the most striking and
potential chapters of the Mexican sit

Carrizal encounter. The troopers were
quartered at Fort Bliss, awaiting or
ders from General Funston at San An

Two stories widely divergent, were
brought back from their captivity by
the prisoners. One, told by Spills
bury, upholds statements he was cred
tied with making at chihuahua City,
charging Captain Boyd with bull
h~eadedness" 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 aggressors and blames them
for the ensuing slaughter.
Kill Wounded After Battle.
Private William d. Gibson declared
that he was certain that after the
Americans had quit the field of the
Carrizal battle, the Mexicans went
over It and killed several Americans
who were wounded, but still alive.

by Private Archie Jones and Luther
