 In Chihuahua City

 The three officers are believed to be dead. According to this report the total of American dead in the battle probably was twenty-six, unless some of the troops still are wandering in search of the expeditionary force. Seventeen prisoners have been taken to Chihuahua City.
 Mexicans report that 12 American dead were found on the scene of the engagement would indicate, if the lat est details are correct, that fourteen troopers either died from their wounds were killed in later fighting or have not succeeded in reaching their base.

Another Alamo.

San Antonio, Tex, June 24.-In the shadow of the Alamo, where Davy Crockett, James Bowie, Col. Travis and Col. Bonham died seventy years ago, citizens of San Antonio, today were convinced that another Alamo had been fought last Wednesday at Car rizal by Capt. Charles L. Boyd's troopers of the Tenth Cavalry and that the names of Captains Boyd and Mercy and Lieutenant Adair would go down into history alongside those of their illustrious predecessors.
 The fragmentary reports, showing that Captain Boyd was still negotiat- ing with Gen. Gomez when the att tack was made, gave no indication that the American troopers occupied ground which could be readily de- tended Or that it would afford protec- tion from the raking cross ire to which they were subjected.
 No further news from Gen. Pershing arrived at Gen. Funston's headquar- two squadrons of the Eleventh Cavalry sent as relief expedition to rescue the remnants of Captain Boyd's com mand still is unknown. No fear was felt here, however, for the safety of this force. Col. James Lockett is in command of the Eleventh Cavalry.
 State troops will begin moving to- ward the border within the next few days. Gen. Funston has made his plans for the disposal of the national guard mustered into the service of the government.

NOTHING TO MEDIATE
Strong Intimation From United States to South and Central American Re- pubIics Bent On Preventing War.

Washington, June 24.-News that some of the South and Central Amer ican republics were preparing to in itiate offers of mediation in the crisis between the United States and Mex ico drew from high officials here to- day a strong intimation that the United States, engaged only in pro- tecting it's people and territory, con- s1dered there was nothing to mediate, so far as the policy in which this gov ernment was concerned.
 Although Ecuador and Salvador have authorized their ministers to confer with their colleagues on the subject, the state department does not expect any immediate overtures from the body of Latin-American diplomats It is understood that Ambassador Naon of Argentine, telegraphed his government that nothing could be done at this time toward initiating mediation.

New Haven, June 24.-The Second Regiment went to the concentration base at Mantle today as the first step towards moving to the Mexican bor- der for duty. The headquarters staff and the local companies left amid great enthusiasm, although under meath there was the serious vein, the tears of those left behind and the anxiety over what might be in store for the soldier boys. The Second Regiment Band under Leader Fichtcl played it's liveliest airs, and flags were flown from windows everywhere, and on motor vehicles, and the windows of buildings along the line of march to the entraining point were filled with spectators but nevertheless the occa- sion was not that of holiday merry making.
 Cheers For Everybody.
 The five companies of the regiment had roll call at the armory at 7:3O every man being in heavy marching equipment with tent and blanket rolls slung over the shoulder. The armory galleries and outside in Meadow street the crowd filled densely. As the roll call ended cheers began and con- tinued for some minutes. Occasion ally there was a Yale cheer, for at the same time the Yale Batteries were assem bling in the college yard Indi- vidual companies were cheered and then the officers individually from Colonel McCabe to the corporal who was well known among those on the side lines. The three majors in line were Isbell, Beebe and Hall, the first named state senator and the last, son-in-law of former Lieutenant Gov ernor Blakeslee, and one of the judges on the city court bench.

 Tn this, he said, he had all his su- bordinates with him and they will re- main with him in case of a rupture.
 The Mexican commander said that it seemed probable, inasmuch as Gen. Pershing seemed ignorant of the fate of the Boyd column, that outside of five additional prisoners now being brought here, the Americans were annihilated, although it was possible more had escaped.
 Gen. Pershing has wired here for the names of the dead and the prison CTS.
 Will Not Hang Prisoners.
 It was officially announced that none or the prisoners brought nefe WILL DO hanged, that mot being the custom of civilized country"

 Whether the game scheduled here with North Carolina on October will be played is not known as yet, but 1t would not be surprising If this game was also played away from here.
 It was announced few days ago that Princeton's opening football prac- tice would start on September 12 at the grounds of the university here. Today the announcement was made that while the original date of pare ticing would remain the same, the practice would not be Leld here, but at field to be located later on. This action was taken after a consultation Iith members of the local board of health.
 The mana cement of the football team announced this evening that it had not had time to locate a field for the football practice, but it was said this field will be within a reasonable distance of here. Speedy Rush, coach for the team, was here this at- ternoon. He remained but a short time and will return again in a cou- pie of days.

Stromboli Winner
 at Belmont Park

New York, Aug. 30-Stromboli, the game winner that wears the colors of August Belmont. gladdened the hearts of those who were on hand yesterday at Belmont Park to welcome the re- turn of racing. Stromboli was a z to 5 favorite in the Belmont Park Au- tumn Handicap, a scamper over a mile and a furlong.
 The breezy atmosphere made the good plodder feel like runnin' fool for he captured the stake in gala mt fashion. Stromboli is probably one of the best backed horses in this neighborhood when he looks to have a chance. Yesterday was no different than previous occasions and few were present that didn't have a little wag- CT on the chestnut.
 St--mbon was we'll ridden by John- nv McTaggart. The little tad kept his mount off the pace set by Capra until he started to round out of the back stretch Stromboli moved up slowly, and when he sauntered into the home drive was a little to the good.
 Coming down to the wire Strom- boil shook off Capra and skipped to the wire an easy winner. Copra was just as easy second. Frizzle gathered in the short end of the purse and Short Grass toddled home last beaten off

D0DGERS' RALLY IN EIGHTH SUFFICIENT
 TO DEFEAT CARDS

St. Louis, Aug. 3O-As the Dodgers came to bat for their half of the eighth inning of yesterdays game at Robinson Field the second victory of the day for Boston was posted upon the score board and evidently the thought of the Braves .overtaking them had an inspiring effect, for they immediately smashed through the Cardinals for five runs, overcoming 8 two-run handicap, and finally winning by ' to 4.
 It might also be said that Charles Rigler. an umpire, aided the Eastern CTS very much by giving a poor de- cision on a runner at the plate. The Dodgers probably would have won even had Stengel been called out on the play in question: but at that time it was the turning point of the con- test. Leon Ames was pitching for the Cards during the beginning of thi. mad melee, Red" having relieved Mule" Watson in the sixth inning when the visitors became entirely toe friendly with the Mules" delivery.
 The Dodgers took a look at the score board and then started after tnem. SIenSel, HTSL up, slapped mean bounder to Corhan and was safe at first. Merk1e drove a line single to right, Stengel stopping at second. Wheat shot a single to left and Bescher's throw beat Stengel to the plate, but, much to the surprise of every one, Rigler decided Casey" was safe. There was the usual kick registered, but, of course. to no avail.
 At this juncture Williams relieved Ames. Cutshaw. first to face Steam boat" bunted between the pitchers box and third base, Williams getting the ball and making a high throw trying to force MerRle at third. The old Giant scored on the error, while Wheat reached third and Cuthaw sec ond. Meyers then scored this pair with a single to centre. Olson socri- feed. Williams to Snyder. Miller lifted to Wilson, but Smith did the unexpected and dropped single in right-centre. Myers scoring. Mowrey forced Smith at second for the third out.

VICTOR IN FIGHT TONIGHT IN LINE
 FOR TITLE SCRAP

New York, Aug. 30-If ever two young boxers were intent upon one thing they are Johnny Dundee and Joe Yelling. And the thing upper most in the mind of each is to win by knockout tonight in Madison Square Garden. Yelling is the last stone in the path of Dundee for a de- cision match for the lightweight title. Reversing the picture, Joe can arrive at the next to top round of the ladder in one leap by stopping Dundee.
 That Yelling packs the K. o. wal Top many opponents can testify. In Dundee.s case it is something new and infrequent, but since he boasted of packing new man killer, he stopped the only opponent to face him, Young O'Leary, in Boston.
 '. Val Sentag, who won the middle light heavy and heavyweight amateur titles on the Pacific Coast in the las tournament, is here to show his wares in the pro class. He will box the semi-final against Jack West.
