 REACH FL PASO

El Paso, Tex, July 6.--The bodies of Captain Charles T. Boyd, Lieutcn- ant Henry Adair and seven troopers of the Tenth cavalry killed at Carriz- al, were brought to El Paso today al S:3G a. m. Only the bodies of the two officers and Private Dewitt Ruck CT have been identified
 Eight of the Americans were eX- humed from single grave. the un- der takers who brought back the bod ies said. The dead had been gathered from the field of battle and cast into a ditch. This was then filled up.
 Captain Boyd, Lieutenant Adair and six troopers stripped of their uni forms were mixed indiscriminately in the dirt The body of the ninth tant from the others. He apparently had dragged himself away, wounded, to die in the gravelly waste beyond the town.
 General Bell had not expected the bodies to be delivered so early in the morning, and the Eighth cavalry, which has 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. Part of these marched beside the car while the remainder stood at attention as it rolled off the bridge upon American soil.

300 DIE RESULT EARTHQUAKE AT
 SICjLIAN TOWN

London, July GA violent earth quake at Caltanisetta, Sicily. causing the deaths of 300 persons, is reported in an Exchange Telegraph dispatch from Rome. 1t is said the victims were in three sulp phur mines which the earth shock caused to cave it.
 There have been several reports re- gently of seismic disturbances in taly. The volcano of Stromboli on an island off the north coast of Sicily, has been in eruption for several days, causing the inhabitants of adjoining districts to flee on relief ship sent from Messina. Earth shocks occur red Tuesday at Ancona, Rimini, Bel vedere, Marettilno and in other Adrlatic districts, but heretofore no loss of life has been reported.
 There have been 8 number of dis astrous earthquakes in Italy, the last serious one having occurred in 1908. Most of the coast towns on both sides of the straits of Messni were wholly or partly destroyed with loss of life estimated at 75,000.
 Caltanisetta, capital of the siclian province of that name, is a city of more than 30,0O0 inhabitants.

 The board then complains of the failure to hold the noon staff meet ings.
 Staff Meetings Not Important |:
 There is absolutely no proof that the absence of staff meetings in any way hampers or lmpedes the business of the institution. The patients are treated from the moment they enter The reason given for the failure to hold these meetings seems reason able. 1t is necessary to have steno- graphers who are skilled to take down the results of observations and examinations. Since the lack of stenographers began to exist and the interference of the board with the running of the institution the whole thing has been 6isorganized
 The board has com ietely failed to substantiate any of it's charges. It's power of removal cannot be used un- til it in good faith proves all or some of the grounds mentioned in the act and this must be done by competent testimony during fair and impartial hearing. This t has failed to do.

GERMANS WANT U.b0AI WARFARE
 TO BE RESUMED
Campaign Continues in Der lin for Submarine War
 on Commerce.

Berlin, via London, July 6.-Tht campaign in favor of the resumption of full-fledged submarine war on commerce goes energetically forward
 It was expected that with the ad- journment of the reichstag and the dispersal of politicians to their homes for the summer this agitation by the navy league, populists, conservatives and part of the national liberals would pass the climax and gradually lose it's intensity.
 On the contrary, reports from all sections of the country indicate that the agitation is continuing with un- diminished vigor, both above and be- low the surface. Never a day passes without articles in various newspa- pers to remind the people that, accord ing to the German note, the modifica- ton of German submarine methods merely was temporary and contingent upon a modification of the British Blockade.
 Advocates of the unrestricted tor pedo appear at every political gather ing regarded as suta ble soil for their seed. Various newspapers in sympa- thy with the movement have almost daily a rubric for what they cali British postal robberies." And ever and again attention is called to the fact that the blockade has not under gone the slightest modification since tEe dispatch of the latest German nctc.
 The purpose of the agitation is, of course, tWo-foId Che branch of it is directed toward the resumption of the submarine campaign which is felt to be the only effective naval waepon against Great Britain. The other new has developed openly and avowedly into a movement against the chancellor. Dr. von Bethmann- Hollweg, largely on the ground of in ternal politics. Some judges of the situation. passing their opinion on the extent and vigor of the agitation, are inclined to believe the movement will lead not later than September to a revival of the submarine campaign on the old lines. The recent inquiries by the Associated Press in authori- tative quarters, indicate, however, that the government for the present has no intention of resuming the freedom of action mentioned in the last note and provoking conflict with the United States.
 One reason for this decision which tends to become stronger the longer the war is continued is the desire to avoid new measures tending to pro- long the war. Another is based on the conviction that the faith of the present administration now is so closely bound up with the submarine issue that reversal of policy would entail opposition from wide, influen- tial groups of political leaders and powerful personages in the adminis- fratjOn
