An informal emDarRo mas Deen es-
tabished, which prevents Mexico
from getting from this country not
only arms and munitions, but food
stuffs and any other material that
might be used for an army.
The Senate to-day passed the
militia draft resolution, after defeat
ing an attempt by Senator Sherman
to include in it a statement that a
state of war exists"
Awaiting Morey's Report.
Reports from General Pershing to-
day increased the number of those
who have returned to safety TO one
officer and forty-three men, while an
other man is said to have started TO
return to the base by another route.
This leaves the total missing at
twenty-five, if there are seventeen
prisoners, and fifteen if there are
twenty-four, ali has been reported
but not confirmed.
The one officer is Captain Morey,
and it will be on his report that the
Administration must depend for the
version of the Carrizal affair which
it will uphold. The letter from him
published this morning has not yet
reached the War Department In Off
cial form.
Unofficially, officers admitted that
his statement that the American
troops advanced on the Mexicans in
battle formation, and that Captain
Boyd thought the Mexicans would
retire when the first shot was fired,
gave color TO the Mexican charge
that the provocation had come from
the American side.
IL is insisted, however, that the ques-
tion between the governments does not
depend on the details Of the Carrizsl
affair, but on the hostile attitude which
Carrsnzs has assumed toward the
American troops and the bellico.e or
ders which he has issued. However
the blame may lie in the Carrizal
clash, the fact that the Mexican SOL
diers were looking for trouble Is held
responsible, and war can only be avert
ed by a change in the Mexican attitude.
United States Position Made Clear.
The word mediation" was not used
in Minister Cslderon's conference with
Secretary Lansing this afternoon, but
the Secretary, nevertheless. made it
clear 70 the minister that mediation at
this time is impossible. They discussed
the situation generally. and the Satti-
tude Of this government was outlined
in unmistakable terms.
Immediately after the conference Mr..
Calderon reported its results to o,her
Latin-Americsn diplomats who ar. -esdv
TO join with him in mediation. They
were greatly disappointed that this
country had taken so firm q stand, and
The Tribune learned after the con-
ference that they believed the situation
SO serious and felt that war would be
so disastrous that they had decided to
continue their efforts, directing them
now toward CarranIa.
They still hope that il the immediate
crisis can be passed this country will
accept mediation on the more general
issues. and are directing all their ener-
gies toward inducing the Mexican chief
10 grant the American demands.
II this is done-and they are not very
hopeful-,hey will again offer media
tion. but they believe the border situa-
tion is so delicate that unless some
remedy be found Il viii salx hs Q nastss

U. S. OFFICERS
ACCUSE GOMEZ
Boyd on" "PeacefuI and
Permissible Mis-
sion," They Say.
Troops Already on Way:

Field Headquarters, June rs (via
wireless to Columbus, y. M.).-lt was
both a peaceful and permissible mis-
sion in which the two troops of the 10th
Cavalry, commanded by Captain Charles
Boyd, were engaged upon when they
fought Carranza troops at Carrizal last
Wednesday, according to the view ex-
pressed to-day by officers with General
Pershing's column.
1t was peaceful, they declared, be-
cause all the United States troops cam
paigning had been done in expectation
, Of cooperation by Carranzs soldiers,
Tand permissible because no limitations
had been agred upon by the two gov
ernments which would restrict patroll-
ing by the Americans.
When General Jacinto Trevino's
warning that his men would FIRE upon
American troops moving in any direc-
tion except north reached the eIpedi-
tionary forces they were moving north
gradually, in expectation that Carranza
forces would occupy the territory .vac-
uated and police it.
In the mean time patrols were sent
out on either side of the American col
umns for protective and observatory
purposes. They moved in whatever di-
rection their immediate duties re-
quired. The Carrizal patrol was one OF
them.
Captain Morey's Story.
The American negro troopers faced
almost certain death at Carrizal with
smiles on their lips, and they burst into
song once or twice as they fought their
grim fight against odds, is the story
told by Captain Lewis S. Morey. when
he arrived at field headquarters to-day.
"For 45 minutes the men fought, jok-
ing among themselves all the while,
even though they realized we had been
trapped and had little chance of getting
out alive" he said.
Captain Morey said he had never
seen such valor as was displayed by
Captain Charles T. Boyd in leading a
handful of dismounted skirmishers
through the machine gun fire and into
the ambush of death. He added that
it was not until their ammunition was
exhausted that the troops were finally
cut 70 pieces. and told Of the heroic
death OF Lieutenant Henry R. Adair, of
Portland, Ore, in an attempt to re-
plenish it.
Lieutenant Adair died fighting, his
last words being, go on, sergeant" TO
a non-commissioned officer at his side,
Captain Morey said. The two we're on
their way TO the pack animals carrying
the ammunition. when they were in
tercepted near a small irrigation ditch
by detail Of the Mexicans.
Fought Until Killed.
Lieutenant Adair had already been
wounded and had lost his pistol in the
previous fighting, but he had borrowed
another and was fighting q hand-to-
hand battle when he was killed. He
fell unconscious and was caught by
the negro sergeant as he slid toward
the ditch. which was deeply filled with
water. The sergeant held Adair in his
arms. his face above the water, until
he died. the wounded officer reviving
only long enough TO whisper orders to
leave him and finish the mission.
Captain Morey said that Captain Boyd
warned the men before the fight that
they were advancing into the greatest
