In the field had been defeated by ii
to Is. Nine members did not vote on
the proposition TO support the Repub-
lean ticket.
Mr.. Hughes sent d telegram OF ap-
probation and thanks 80 the commit

turned home, but declines as yet to

TIE MEXICAN SITUATION.

War between the United States and
Mexico seemed inevitable up TO Wed
nesday afternoon. when the tense
situation was somewhat relieved Ey
The reaort that the Carranza govern
menr mad aeeeded to the demand from
Washington for the release OF the
TWENTY-FIVE United States soldiers
captured in the fight Of two troops OF
the tenth cavalry with greatly So
nerlor Mexican force at CarrIZat on
June q. What reply Carranza will
return 70 the further demand OF the
Washington note that the future ac-
ton and attitude of the Mexican de
facto government towards the CnItea
States be clearly defined, remains 10
he seen. but the concession already
made warrants the suppositon that Il
tne-firsT chief mad intended OF deiIE-
erateIy contemplated forcing the n
auguration Of Il state OF war, he mas
come TO his senses and thought better
ct the suicidal purpose.
Large forces of state militia are be-
ing hurried TO the Mexican border
and preparations are being made for
quick and vigorous operations against
the Nexieans in the event that an
actual rupture between the two gov
ernments takes place.
Carranza has appealed TO the other
Latin republics for aid in case war
ensues. bat the answers SO far re-
ceived from those countries deprecate
hostilities and urge that every effort
be made 10 avoid them
The attack upon the force of Amer
lean troopers At Carrizal seems 10
have been treacherous and unexpeet-
ed. and although the eighty-foar
cayaIrymen fought with desperate
vaIor until their ammunition was ex-
hausted. the concealed machine gun
of the enemy and his greatly superior
numbers enabled him to flank, sur
round and deeimate the Americans.
Two of their three white officers,
Capt. Chas- T. Boyd and Lieut. Hy.
r. Adair. were killed, and the third,
Can't. Lewis S. Morley, wounded. 1t
was believed that Capt. Morey was
also killed, but he managed TO escape
In spite of his injuries and was res
cued by relief force which had been
hurried south as soon as news OF the
/ tight reached Gen Pershings head
quarters. It is estimated that IT
Americans were killed in the fight y
were made prisoners and confined m
the penitentiary 1T Chihuahua, and
the remaining Is made their way
back to safety after undergoing much
suffering from lack Of water anu food
