WASHINGTON, June 26.-Carranzas reply to the
umatum of the United States expected before tomor-
row morning If unsatisfactory Wilson will ask Congress
for advice.
Leaders in both senate and house say there will be
but one answer-direct authorization Immediately to
avenge the massacre of the American troopers slain at
Carrizal.
There no longer was pretense in official cir

purposes the nation already with Carranza The

MEXICAN men
OPENED FIRE
AT CARRIzAL

San Antonio, Tex, June 26.-Mexi-
can troops fired the first shot In the
battle Of Carriza.
TIE battle began after General
Gomez, the Mexican commander, had
told Captain Charles Boyd, the Ameri-
can leader, that he could take his
force into CarrIzaI for conference.
These facts are definitely established
by the letter which Captain Lewis r.
Morey wrote when he believed he was
dying.
This letter is the first report OF the
officer Of the American column. II
shows that Captain Boyd feared an
ambush.
A more complete report from Cap
tain Morey is anxiously awaited by
Gen. Funston today, but in it's absence
there was no elimination in the mar
tial activities about Fort Houston.
Preparations are under way at the
post and indicate a strong belief that
war cannot be averted for many
hours.

tuted are those of Glenn Frank, of

Captain Morey had a narrow escape
from death. He was wounded severly,
but was carried from the field by four
men. The little party hid in hut
over night, but started out the next
day in an effort to reach the American
line. Morey felt himself growing
weaker and ordered his men to leave
him to die They obeyed.
After being left, however, Morey
made final desperate effort for his
