and Slew Americans-Telegrams
Published.

Gen. CarranZa has renewed his as
surances to the United States that he
would make every effort to punish
those responsible for the murders o.
Americans near Santa Ysabel.
A dispatch from Consul Silliman,
at Queretaro, to the state department
said Carranza had personally assured
Mr.. Silliman, in reply to the depart
ment's demand that the murderers
be run down, that he had issued
orders for the immediate pursuit,
capture and punishment Of those re-
sponsible for the atrocity." The dis
patch from Consul Silliman follows:
Departments telegram OF jan
uary Is, five p. m, massacre ATneri-
cans at Santa Ysabel, received al
eight-twenty, and implaced before
Gen. CarranZa by me in person. Gen.
Carranza said that he had already
issued orders for the immediate pur-
suit, capture and punishment Of t:.ose
responsible for the atrocity.
"Ke stated that he believed this
outrage was committed by men asso-
cilated with Villa and that it was
done specially to provoke interna-
ticnaI troubles at this time. He said
he had declared those responsible
outside the law, to be punished with
deathif caught.
'He appeals to the secretary Of
state and to the public Of the United
States to consider the wide strip OF
the Central Railway, the great diff
Guilty Of guarding the entire distance,
and t." comparatively easy task Of
dest-oy ng a train or attacking
small place.
HE says that nobody can lament
more than be such an strocity or be
more concerned about it, but that
protection is relative and that even
in the best requested 90 states out
bursts OF disorders and lawlessless
may cause destruction Of property
and loss of life.
He says be is expecting full re-
ports from Gen. TreVino. and that all
efforts will be made to protect Amer
leans and any other foreigners who
may be in the district. His belief IS
the massacre was made premedietiEe-
ly by a band who fled at once after
the raid"
Carrarza's telegram to his embassy
follows:
The government, under my direc-
ton. has adopted every necessary
measure to insure the prosecution Of
an energetic campaign for the cap
ture and destruction of the party Of
Villista bandits. and to continue the
same to it's complete accomplish
ho, oc1-nI Can 1onSntn D
Trevino, commanding the Constitu-
tiona!ist troops in the Eeighbo?hocd
of the assassinations. to obtain for
me- the names Of the assailants in
order that a decree may be issued
n!acirg them outside the pale Of the
law. When this is done any citizen
or citizens Of the republic will have
the right to arrest the guilty parties
without other warrant. and to exc
cute them without formality.
Similar DEGREES were issued and
exacued favorably in the cases Of
assaults and dynamiting Of trains in
another section of the republic with
in the year, notably when a passen-
ger train was dynamited and its pas
sengers assaulted near Apizaco and
again near Jauasa. These DEGREES
are made effective because in the
opinion Of the government those who
nerpetrate such assassinations OF
human beings. be the victims native
Mex;cans or foreigners, must be con-
sidereG in exactly the same category
as those who dynamite the railway
trains. I sincerely deplore the un-
pardonable crime at Santa Esabel.' .
A dispatch from Laredo, Texas,
says Gen. Venustiano Carranza, as
head of the de facto Mexican govern
ment. has issued an order authoriz-
ing amy citizen to put to death
bandits implicated in the killing OF
American mining men at Cusihuira-
chic. according to dispatch from
Gueretaro.
