Norwich bulletin., 1916-06-29

eral Carranza for the release of the American prisoners held in the Chi huahua penitentiary today met with compliance.
 Late this afternoon 1t was an- nounced from the commandancia in Juarez that a message had been trans mitted over the Mexican telegraph which stated that the twenty three negroes Of the Tenth Cavalry captured at Carrizal with Lem H. Salisbury, Mormon scout. had been removed from prison.
 The message added that the men. with their arms and accoutrements, under heavy guard, had been placed on a Mexican Central train bound for JuareZ, where they are expected to arrive tomorrow morning.
 The telegram conveying this news was addressed to General George Bell, Jr., commander of the El Paso base. It was signed by General Jacinto Ire vino, commander of the Mexican mili- tary district of the northeast, whose headquarters are at Chihuahua City.
 General Bell, in keeping with his custom of maintaining close secrecy regarding all military developments refused to say whether he had re- ceived the message. He said that all announcements must come from Gen. eraI Funston at San Antonio.
 On receipt of word that General Funston had given ont the contents Of the message he said no escort would be sent to meet the prisoners in the morning, but an officer would be dele gated to take command of them and lead them to Fort Bliss.
