1T LOOKS LESS LIKE WAR TODAY
WILL RETURN
ARMY HORSES
Carrizal Incident Will Close
Now That Prisoners Have
Been Released.

| Ell PASO, Texas, June 30.-Return
OF the horses and weapons belonging
to the twenty-three released American
prisoners was expected here today to
close the Carrizal incident. However,
the return of the negro troopers, their
reception by large crowds and their
stories Of Carranzista soldiers killing
the American wounded and robbing
| the captured still was the popular
| topic.
That he passed several wounded
and later saw them dead with fresh
! bullet wounds in their bodies was the
statement Of Trooper Archie Jones,
supported by VIM. Gibson and Luther
Alexander, who also reported being
robbed Of several hundred dollars Of
their army savings and jewelry.
Alexander, wounded In the shoulder.
declared he did not receive prompt
or proper medical attention.
In the transfer of the prisoners on
the Santa Fe street international
bridge to General Bell, the return Of
another Carrizal hero was almost en-
tirely overlooked by Ell Pasoans.
When the Golden State Limited
from the west pulled into union sta
ton an officer in soiled khaki alighted,
his arm in a sling. With tears
streaming down her cheeks and cry
Of Joy, little woman in dark blue
travelling suit rushed up to the officer.
They embraced, while scores Of curl
GUS passengers hesitated as they sour
ried for their trains. Apparently pale
and weak from hardships the officer
patted the little woman on the back
while she kissed him. He was Cap
tain Lewis S. Morey of the Tenth
cavalry. The little woman in blue
was his wife who was at first inform
ed that her husband probably had
been killed. They were driven to the
Paso Del Norte hotel as happy as
honeymooners. The Moreya expect t.,
remain here several days before
going to San Antonio. III
According to Lem Spillsbury, Amer
ican civilian scout and interpreter in
| the Carrizal fight, the bodies Of the
slain American soldiers were after
ward cremated on the field of battle
by the Carranzista troops. If Spills
burys belief is true, it will be i'm
possible to recover the bodies and
inter them in Arlington cemetery at
/ Washington as suggested. Their ashes
and bones may be found on the battle
field, however.

FOUR BANDITS
STRUNG UP
Villistas Were Found Guilty
of Murder in First Degree
and Hanged Today.

DEMING, N. mr., June sO.-with
outward apathy, four ViIlistas who
were in the Columbus raid March
nine, were hanged in the jail here
early today. The men were put to
death in pairs on a double scaftold.
Taurino Garcia, still suffering from
the wound he received in the raid,
said just before the trap was spru1es: ::
''I am about to die and wish my
enemies to forgive me as do them.
Euzvio Renteria, who with Garcia,
made up the first pair, smiled and
urged his companion to be brave.
Juan Castillo, in the second pair,
with Jose Ranget, was defiant.
81 am about to die, but am not
guilty" Castillo shouted.
A Spanish padre accompanied the
four Mexicans to the gallows.
The quartet faced death with the
same stoicism that characterized the
execution OF two Vf1listas June 9, on
the same scaffcld ALL six were tried
in Deming and found guilty Of murder
in the first degree for the deaths Of
Columbus soldiers and civilians in
the raid.
Twenty deputies with riot guns
and a company of New Mexico militia
brought from Columbus, formed a
Gordon about the Jail today to pre-
vent any outbreak by the large Mexi-
can population of Deming.

showed with pride, a picture Of her
SON, taken at Peekskill before the
troops entrained, and a post card sent
by him from Toledo, admonishing
her not to worry, because he was
having the time of his life.
Mrs. Reitz, mother of the other
drowned man, collapsed.

WOULD NOT ASSIST
IN RESTORING ORDER IN MEXICO

ington, reporting such a plan under
discussion, were printed at length to-
day by La Nacion, leading paper of
South America. The newspapers thus
far have not commented.
Argentine's objection to such
plan. it may be stated on good author
ity, is that Argentine might become
unduly involved in affairs of the North
American continent. Simply to carry
out the idea of cooperation, she
might consent to send single Argen-
tine officer to accompany the Ameri-
can forces. 1t is believed here that
other South American republics would
follow the same course, except that
perhaps Brazil would be willing to
send several thousand men.

situation around Guzman, Mexico.
where large Carranzista forces are re-
ported to have been concentrated
close to the American lines, was still
partly undetermined here early today.
Scout patrols learned that the Guzman
garrison had been increased, but not
sufficiently to constitute a threat to
General Pershing's communications.
The Carranzistas may be in large
force in the hills behind Guzman, al
though the American scouts were un-
able to locate such troops.
All but three Of the horses stolen
from the Double Adobe ranch when
Mexican raiders recently killed its
American owner and his wife, have
been recovered. Military patrols have
not abandoned their effoits to pick
up the bandits trail. A posse from
Hachita is also reported to be out yet.

NOT EXPECTING

In Mexico City the People Are
Not Figuring Much on
Any Declaration

PEACEFUL SETTLEMENT

PEACEFUL SETTLEMENT

MEXICO CITY, Juns 30.--The
foreign office has practically cornplet-
ed the reply to the last American
note 1t may be given out within a
few hours. The general belief is that
the reply will be pacificatory and will
relieve the possibility Of war between
Mexico and the United States.
The majority of well informed per-
sons in the capital believe there will
be no hostilities. They base this be-
lief not only on their knowledge Of
developm ents here but on the attitude
Of Wall street and London financial
interests likely to be affected by war.
Belief in a peaceable outcome is
strengthened by General Trevinos
report that the American troops have
evacuated Namiquipa which had been
their base and other points in Mexico,
retiring northward. The places were
Immediately occupied by constitution
altst troops.
AS further evidence on the part Of
Mexican officials for friendly relations,
it was pointed out that American
application for delivery of the bodies
of soldiers killed at Carrizal met with
an immediate friendly response. Cen
eral Trevino under direct orders from
General Carranza, notified General
Bell at Ell Paso that no obstacle would
be offered by Mexican authorities to
the return of the bodies.
So strong is the feeling Of conf
dence in peaceful settlement that
only few Americans were disturbed
by message sent by Secretary Ian
sing Wednesday night, peremptorily
warning all Americans out of Mexico
at once, under penalty OF assuming
grave responsibilities. Most of those
remaining in the capital feel assured
of protection and refuse 10 abandon
their business and property. The
Pachuca mines have all resumed
operation. Many foreigners among
the employees who fled to Vera Cruz
during the first days Of the crisis,
have been instructed to return.
Mexico City is absolutely quiet.
Thus far the public has not been
