Ell Paso, Tex, June 3O.-Twenty-
three negro troopers of the Tenth cav
airy, and Lem H. Spillsbury, Mormon
scout, captured by the Mexicans at
Carrizal and subsequently confined in
the Chihuahua penitentiary, were
brought to the border yesterday to
he turned over to the American mill
tary authorities.
A shout of laughter rose from the
thousands of Juarez Mexicans who
had gathered to witness the arrival
as the negroes filed from the special
train. The prisoners were dressed in
the scantiest and most nondescript
garb. Some had on only trousers. One
wore shirt, while a towel encircled
his waist. Others heads were deco
rated with bandanas.
Spillsbury was dressed in white
duck suit. He appeared anxious. All
the troopers were worn and drawn
from their experience, and all were
serious, save one, who wore a broad
smile. This one made himself the
impromptu spokesman of his fellows:
"We sure are glad to get back" he
said.
Guards Are Resplendent.
General Francisco Gonzales, Juarez
commander, and Andreas Garcia, Mex
ican consul in Ell Paso, met the train.
General Gonzales boarded the train
and minute later reappered, followed
by the guard that had escorted the
prisoners from Chihuahua.
The guard, dressed in uniforms of
bright yellow, pushed back the crowd,
forming a line through which Spills
bury and the troopers marched down
the railway tracks. They were taken
to the disinfecting plant and there
stripped and treated before being es-
corted to the commandment. At the
commandments the troopers refused to
discuss the Carrizal fight, their i'm
prlSOnment or their return to the Dor
der.
eve are soldiers, not plain citizens"
they said. "We will have to report to
cur superior officers and receive their
Spillsbury was not so uncommunica-
tive, however. He entered the private
office of General Gonzales and there
gave out a brief interview, in which
he repeated statements he had been
credited with making at Chihuahua by
General Jacinto Trevino. These state
ments were to the effect that Captain
Boyd, commander of the Americans at
Carrizal, persisted in advancing to-
ward Villa Ahumada to recover ne
gro deserter after General Felix Go
mez had warned him to turn back and
after Spillsbury had urged him to ac-
cept this advice.

POLITICIANS DUMFOUNDED

While it is true that many Re-
pubicans and Progressives were sur
prised at the turn of events at Chi
cago when Hughes was nominated
it is true that the Democratic poll
ticians have not yet recovered from
the CONSERVATION produced in their
camp by the sudden turn of events
which resulted in the union of the
Republicans and the Progressives.
For two whole weeks the dope fix
ers have not been able to get line
up on any thing out which they can
develop an imaginary scandal, either
in the social or business world, with
which they can connect the name OF
Hughes. They yet are at their wits
end to find something to publish
against him, except that he is a can
didate of the Republican party. OF
course, for Hughes to become can
didate of the dominant party in
American means the alienation of all
Democratic spellbinders, but not all
Democratic voters by any means.
1t is thought by many that Hughes
will receive more votes, originally
Democratic, than has any other Re
publican candidate unless it was
Roosevelt when he overwhelmingly
defeated Judge Alton B. Parker.
