BODIES OF TROOPERS
 BROUGHT TO FL PASO
Two Officers and One Private Identifed-Eight Found
 in One Grave.

Ell Paso, July 6.-The bodies of Captain Charles T. Boyd, Lieutenant Henry Adair and seven troopers of the Tenth Cavalry, killed at Carrizal, were brought to Ell Paso early today. Only the bodies of the two officers and identified.
 Eight of the Americans were ex- humed from a single grave, the un- dertaker said. The dead had been gathered from the field of battle and cast into 8 ditch which was then filled up. The bodies of Captain Boyd, Lieutenant Adair and six troopers, stripped of their uniforms were mixed indiscriminately in the dirt.
 The body of the ninth trooper was located two miles distant from the others. He had been wounded and apparently had dragged himself away to die in the waste beyond the town
 Scenes in sharp contrast to those of week ago, when the Carrizal prisoners were brought from Chi huahua City and turned over to Gen. eral George Bell, IT,, marked the re- turn of the American dead. In JEarez the event was scarcely noticed, while in Fl Paso only a few hundred persons, quiet and subdued, replaced the cheering throng that greeted the twentythree troopers of the Tenth.
 As the caskets were taken out of the car they were covered with flags. The mounted band of the, Eighth H@,, Thee
 After the ambulances had been loaded a squadron of the cavalry led the march to the undertaking estab- lishments. At the chapel of the un- Gertaking establishment brief funeral service was read by Chaplain w. w. Brander of the Eighth Cavalry.
 The identified bodies will be turned ever to relatives and those unidenti- fled will be sent to Arlington ceme- tery. Gen. Bell did not expect that the bodies would be delivered so early in the morning and as a result Eighth cavalry, which had been detailed from Fort Bliss to act as an escort, was not on hand. An impromptu guard was formed, however, from soldiers of the Seventh Infantry encamped near the bridge. Examination of the bodies showed that Captain Boyd was shot through the right eye. and that Lieut.. Adair's death resulted from a wound in the breast.
 By the time the Eighth Cavalry had reached the death car, thousands had gathered along the streets. The cav airy drew up at attention with sabres drawn, while the 23 negro troopers surrendered by the de facto govern ment last week. and the one released from Juarez on Monday, took station at the car entrance, directly behind General Bell and other officers.

WILL REPLY SOON
 TO CARRANZA NOTE
President and Secretary of State Meet At White House-Cabinet
 Meeting Tomorrow.

Washington, July 6.-After con- ference with President Wilson at the White House today, Secretary Lansing said that he thought a reply soon would be made to Gen Carranza's note It was understood that all negotia- tions between this government and Carrana be conducted through reg ular diplomatic channels and direct ly between the two governments.
 The secretary was with tn eresi- dent about twenty minutes. He said they went over most of the important matters now before the state depart ment.
 'I suppose that we discussed fifteen or twenty different proposition" he said. "As am going on my vacation tomorrow I wanted to discuss every- thing of importance in the department with the President before I left. shall attend the cabinet meeting to- morrow morning and start on my va cation later.
 The reply will be a formal accep- tance of Carranza's proposal that differences between the United States and the de facto government be set tied by direct negotiations. While Gen. Carranza's amicable rejoinder to the last two American notes has greatly eased tension, no official was willing today to predict the final out come of the negotiations which are foreshadowed.
 Washington officials take the posi- ton that only the preliminary step has been taken by Carranza toward the friendly adjustment he now ap- pears to desire.

 Reported at Caperton

Washington, July 6.-Another en- gagement between 250 revolutionists in Santo Domingo and American marines, in which twenty seven Dominicans were killed and five cap- tUred, and one marine killed and eight wounded, was reported to the navy department today by Rear Ad- miral Caperton. The fight occurred July 1 before the tentative agreement was made for the disarmament of the rebels
 The American killed was Corporal George Fravee. Only one of the wounded marines was injured serious ly.
 The revolutionists were routed, Ad- miral Caperton reported, carrying off 8 number of wounded during their retreat.
 The engagement which evidently immediately preceded the peace ne- gotiations in which Admiral Caperton yesterday informed the department the revolutionists had agreed to dis arm, occurred in the interior at Guay- acanes. The revolutionists were strongly entrenched and concealed in a position which prevented advance artillery fire
 The enemy outpost opened the firing, Admiral Caperton stated.
 Admiral Caperton stated that the fight reported today was the fourth between United States marine and revolutionists in about a week. Off, fciaIs believe that the complete rout of the revolutionists in the last en- counter influenced their leaders to agree to disarmament.
