Ell PASO, Texas, June 23.-Reports
of a second battle near Carrizal were
received here today. They are uncon-

1t is known that General Pershing sent
two squadrons of the Eleventh cavalry
to the relief of the negro Tenth, who
were treacherously attacked Wednes-
day.
Over 5000 Carranzaistas are concen-
tratcd in the Carrizal district. Ameri-

WASHINGTON, June 23.-Secretary
Eaker this afternoon ordered army
department commanders to send all
mIitiamen available to the Mexican
border as quickly as each unit is or
ganized without waiting to complete
mobilization by separate states. No
reason was assigned for the change.
The Hay resolution giving President
Wilson power to draft all miIitiamen
into the service of the regular army
was unanimously adopted by the house
this afternoon.
Ambassador Arredondo told Latin
American diplomats here today that
Mexican troops were ordered not to
attack Americans unless the latter
we're aggressors. This is directly in
contradiction to Trevino's threat to at.
tack if the American moved other than
north. 1t. is regarded as an attempt
to align Latn-American sympathy
with Mexico.
Secretary Baker denied the rumor
that plans had been made for the i'm

No change is expected in the situa

Wilson today is understood to be sub
stantially the same as press dispatch
es of last night.
Officials here are greatly worried
over the failure today to get news
from the surviving officers of the
force engaged at Carrizal. Only a
few stragglers have reached Genera,
Pershing's headquarters. No word
has been received from the troops

pasted Kilbane all over the ring during

Fact is, Mitchell hit too hard for Kill
bane. The former started a flow of
