EIGHT TO ONE
 ODDS FACED BY
 10TH TROOPER
IRepubican A. p. Leased Wire1


 COLUMBUS, N. M, June 25.--Eight to one-these are now said to be the odds against which the Americans struggled at Carrizal.
 A survivor of the engagement, Sam Fl. Harris, a dusky private of c Troop. the Tenth cavalry, was brought to the border late this afternoon suf- fering from wounds in his left shoul- der and arm. From him came the assertion that pitted against the eighty-four men of the American de- tachment were fully 700 MeXicans.
 ''To top it off" said Harris, they had machine gun and they surprised us. We approached them in a peace ful way and never had an idea that they would try to massacre us. Had We known they wanted fight We could have given it to them. I guess they got enough at that"
 Harris troop was entirely sur rounded by the Carrancistas he said. He escaped wounded from the cordon the enemy had drawn around the Americans by riding straight through their line on his charger, which also had been wounded. He rode this horse until it fell from, loss of blood, and then nabbed another fleeing ami . nal. with which he eventually caught up with other survivors whom he ac- companied to field headquarters.
 Harris account of the battle and ! his escape, told in the manner pe- culiar to his race. was expressive and oolorful. Tears came to his eyes a. he recounted the heroic effort of his wounded charger to bear him tc safety

 FL PASO, June 25.-Officials of the Mexico Northwestern railway were notified by military authorities in Juarez tonight that no further ship ments consigned to General Pershing's troops at Casas Grandes would be al- lowed to be transported over the road. This action was taken, it was said, in retaliation for the practical embargo on large shipments of foodstuffs billed to the interior of Mexico which Amer ican customs authorities have placed on the local port. However, in the last ten days several trainloads of flour. beans and other military foodstuffs and forage have been allowed to pass through to the American command.

 Doubt exists at Fl Paso as to the re- liability of Colonel Borquez's inform ation on the presence of a large body of American troops at Puerto Las Varas. It is possible, however, for part of General Pershing's force to be in this section, as it would be in touch with the supposed new Fl Valle base, and also in q position to threaten the Mexican Central railroad.
 Concentration at Fl Valle has been variously reported for some time.

1t was apparent that the members Of
