There were no efforts to conceal the
anxiety with which the situation was
viewed. There is enough similarity
among the border reports to convince
them that a serious clash occurred.
Whoever may have been the aggressor
and whatever the outcome, it has
brought war with Mexico 50 close that
officials say any hour may see the con :
fict in full swing.
Seeking to, shirk Blame.
From the tone Of the Mexican note
as well as the contents, officials are
under the impression that Carranza
desires to disclaim, responsibility for
the affair and to make it plain that
no attempt has been made to carry out
his threat to undertake expulsion of
the American expedition by force OF
arms.
Further information regarding the
activity for peace of foreign diplomats
at Mexico City reached the state de-
partment during the day. From the
same sources 1t was learned that Car
rama was exerting every possible ef-
fort to avoid a break with the United
States and at the same time restrain
belligerent demands Of some OF his
own advisers.
War department officials say tina: if
1t is true that seventeen American SOL
diers are prisoners in the hands OF
Mexicans they will be released as soon
as possible. A demand for their i'm
mediate release would be one Of the
first steps taken by the United States
government.
So far the government has no official
garding the Carrizal fight.

prevent it, war with Mexico should

eobs Up in Senate.
Discussion of the Mexican situation
was precipitated in the senate today
by Senator Works, Of California, who
called up his resolution to authorize
Intervention, had it read and gave
notice that unless the foreign rela-
tion COMMITTEES acted soon he would
move to take the matter out Of the
committees hands.

Ell Paso, June 22.-The Americans
wha engaged the Carranza soldiers in
battle at Carrizal yesterday were
heavier losers than the Mexicans, &C,
cording to reports issued by the Mexi-
can consulate in Ell Paso today.
/ The Mexicans' claim isSthat while
fourteen Of their number We're killed
and thirty wounded, the aAmericans
suffered an even dozen killed and los.
seventeen as prisoners. In addition,
they say the Americans had an un-
known number of wounded which they
carried off with them.
They point out also that while the
Carranza commander, Gen. Felix
Gomez, lost his life, the American lead
er also was killed.
Captain Morey Killed.
Uncertainty rega riding the identity
of the commander of our troops was
believed today to have been dissipated
by the report from Columbus that he
was Capt. Lewis S. Morey, of the Tenth
cavalry. Captain Morey apparently
started on his nilsson, which has not
been explained officially, from Ojo
Federico, but the exact time is not
known, altho 1t may have been Mon
day.

last night the only official details of

were reported in unknown force" and
to advise their commander to retire
to. their camp.
This, he says, General Gomez did
this morning. The American COM
mander, whose name was not given by
General Gomez, is said to have replied
that he was instructed to proceed to
Villa Ahumada and must do so.
The statement issued by the Juarez
commander reads:
Immediately upon learning OF the
presence of American troops in the
vicinity of Carrizal, Gen. Felix Gomez
dispatched messenger with request
that the American commander with

can troops remained motionless he
sent a second dispatch bearer, who
was fired upon by the American
troops, after he had delivered his mess

moved forward and attacked General
Gomez's command.
"All the prisoners admitted that the
blame should be put on the American
commander for having ordered the at

here that a serious uprising agains: the

the rebels have captured the holy city
Of Mecca.
The London papers declare that the
rebellion is certain to have an import
ant bearing on the war, especially re-
garding the participation of Turkey.
The Post says:
''The uprising is due to recent whole
sale execution Of Mohammedan and
Syrian notables and we'll known reli-
gious leaders and also to the spread n
Arabia Of feeling that the Turks have
ahdicated their position as the protec-
tors Of Mohammedans and have be-
come vassals Of Germany"

the rebels, in addition to taking Mecca,
have captured Jiddah, the chief sea-
port of Arabia. and Taft, sixty-fye
miles southeast of Mecca. and have
prcclaime independence Of the Arabs
from Turkish rule.
According to this dispatch the grand
shereef of Mecca, chief magistrate Of
the holy city, proclaimed his independ-
ence and was supported by the Arab
tribes of the west and central parts Of
the country. He began operations
about June 8.
1t is said the garrisons at Mecca,
Jiddah and Taft surrendered, with the
exception Of two small forts at Taft
which are resisting. At Jiddah forty
five officers, 1,400 men and six guns
were taken. Medinah, 24S miles north
west Of Mecca, which contains the
tomb Of Mohammed, is closely besieged
and all communications to Hejas are
