War Horses and Others.

American horsemen high in au-
thority say that about one-half mil
lion of our horses have been sold on
war orders for about one hundred
million dollars since the outbreak of
the war, says Farm and Fireside.
Fully 80 per cent of the artillery
horses purchased were sired by draft
stations and were out of small
mares. The same horse authorities
claim that the Belgian breed in Eur
ope has been practically destroyed.
and Percheron breeding stock has al
SO teen heavily sacrificed for war
use.
A representative of one of Ameri-
cas- greatest horse importers says it
would not be possible to find zoo
draft stations suitable for export to
America, even were expectation al
lowed.
The cruX of the matter clearly in
dicates that American horse users
must depend on the produce of
American studs for draft sires for
many years TO come.

DECLARES MExlcANs FIRED THE
FIRST SHOT OF THE DlSAS-

After Escaping From Mexicans at
Carrizai, Trooper Wandered Food

Several Days.

Ell Paso, Texas.-Another survivor
of the Carrizal fight was located Sun
day. He is Corporal F. X. Cooke of
X troop. Tenth cavalry, who was
brought into Juarez from villa Ahu-
mazda and placed in prison.
General Francisco Gonzales, Juarez
commander, wired 'Geenral Jacinto
Trevino at Chihuahua for instruc-
lions. aud II is probable Cooke will be
turned over to the American authori-
ties at once.
Corporal Cooke, in addition to tell
ing a thrilling story of his adven-
lures since the battle with the Mexi.
cans under General Gomez, added his
statement to that of other survivors
that the Mexicans fired the first shots
OF the engagement.
He also quoted Captain Boyd as
saying, just before the commander
gave orders TO his men to advance:
The general has given orders that
there Is only one way for us to go,
and that is to the north. My orders
are to go to Villa Ahumada, to the
east, and am going there"
In previous stories Captain Boyd's
mission has been explained to have
been the recovery of a deserter at
villa Ahumada.
Captain Boyd also. Cooke said, eau
toned them against firing first, and
against letting any piece go off acct
dentally, under pain of heavy punish
ment.
After escaping from the fight at
Carrizal, Cooke said he wandered
foodless with broken right arm for
four days, lived several more on the
hospitality of Mexican ranchers. and
then pushed out alone for the Ameri-
can base, only to be captured at a
water hole. He was brought into
villa Ahumada and put on a train in
the evening for Juarez.

WILL NOT PERMIT
ARMY TO REMAIN
MEXICAN GOVERNMENT DENIES
RIGHT OF UNITED STATES TO
KEEP TROOPS IN MEXICO.
Blame for Santa Ysabel' Massacre
Placed on Americans and Charge Of
Bad Faith Made Against Scott
and Funston.

Mexico City.-The foreign office on
June 30 issued a memorandum in reply
TO Secretary Lansing's recent note in
which the correctness OF assertions in
the communication from Washington
were repeatedly denied The memoir
andum declares that the United States
has no right to maintain its armed
forces on Mexican soil.
The memorandum contains thirty
three counts. Although not in the
form OF direct reply to the Washing.
ton note, II is considered equivalent
to an answer to that document.
II expresses surprise that the Wash
ington government should have been
panied at the tone and the contents
OF the Carranza document since 1t
maintains that the United States has
sent to the constitutional governor
not only one. but many discourteous
and even overbearng notes
Emphatically reiterating the Mexi-
can governments position denying the
right of the United States to keep
armed bodies in Mexico, the memoir
andum denies eDergetically that the
Mexican government has protected
bandits who had committed depreda-
lions in the United States and defies
Washington to produce proof of the
assertion.
Blame for the Santa Ysabel massa-
ere is placed on the so-called impul-
sive and irrascible disposition OF Char
les Watson. general manager OF the
Cusihuiriachic company, and Gener-
al Scott and General Funston are ac-
cused of bad faith and lack of honor
in misleading General Abregon in an
alleged evasive reply regarding tie
crossing OF American troops into
Mexico after the Glenn Springs raid.
The memorandum asserts while IL is
true the United States arrested Gen.
eral Huerta. the motive which prompt
ed this act was not a purpose of aid
ing the constitutionalist, but because
the United States feared that General
Huerta was plotting with Germany.
The note concludes by declaring
that the presence of American troops
In Mexico invites rather than prevents
bandit raids along the border.

same time that the foreign office au.

Soldiers Declare Mexicans Were the

Ensuing Slaughter, Wounded
Soldiers Being Murdered.

FL Paso, Texas.-The twenty-three
negro troopers of the Tenth cavalry,
who at Carrizal, villa Ahumada, Chi
huahua City and Juarez have been
central figures in the most striking
and potential chapters of the Mexican
situation, are once more safely out of
Mexico.
Survivors of a bloody battle with a
vastly superior force; victims twice
of mobs that stoned them; more than
once g.ipped with the fear of eXecu-
ton for their part in the Boyd expedi-
ton; and, lastly, objects of interces-
sion by the president of the United
States. they were brought to the Dor
der from Chihuahua City on a special
train on June 20, and turned over to
General George Bell, Jr,, commander
of the El Paso base.
The men were in shreds and patch
es. some being almost nude and wear
ing blankets, their clothing having
been torn from them.
1t was thought probable at military
headquarters the twenty-three troop
ers will be kept at the Fort Bliss hos
pital until all danger of infection from
disease will have been removed and
then transferred to their various COM
mands.
With the soldiers came Lem II.

guided Captain Charles T. Boyd and
his little command over the trail that
led to the Carrizal encounter
Two stories. widely diverging,
were brought back from their captiv-
ity by the prisoners. One, told by
Spillsbury, upholds statements he
was credited with making at Chihua-
hua City, charging Captain Boyd with
"bullheadedness" in advancing in the
face OF certain Mexican attack. The
other, narrated by fighting men of the
Tenth, declares the Mexicans to have
been the aggressors, and blames them
for the ensuing slaughter.
The latter account is embellished
with charges that have not hitherto
been brought to light.
Private William ID. Gibson declared

The return to the border of twenty
four prisoners leaves as missing ff-
