Seven Captured Troopers
Spit Upon by Mexican Mob

Gen Previno. Carranza's commander of
the Northeast, has taken every precau-
ton to shield the prisoners from vio-
lence. furnishing them with a large de-
tail Of soldiers as a guard. The crowd
followed the troopers to the Quartet,
cursing and hooting at them. Even
women. carrying babies, ran along the
sidewalks in the wake Of the mob.
Gen Trevino. who has assumed all re-
sponsibility for the Gomez attack on the
Pershing detachment, issued a statement
today, challenging Gen. Hugh scott's
assertion at the Ell Paso conference,
that American military men were least
OF all desirous of war with Mexico.
THE United States army men are eag-
erly awaiting chance to fight Mexico 5"
he declared. They have disobeyed the
orders Of their own commanders in their
actions on our country, displaying no re-
spect, whatever, for the feelings of Mex
lean citizens or their property. They
have treated the disposition of the Mex-
lean government with utter contempt."

FL Paso, Tex, June 23.-Gen. Bell and
the military authorities here are mo-
mentarily expecting a report of another
battle between United States troops and
Mexican forces at Villa Ahumada. Def
mite informatiCr has been received that
the 1000 Csrranza troops with artillery
from Juarez detrained at the nearest
point to the CarrizaI battlefield this morn
ing.
The Mexican troops were under orders
to be prepared for immediate fighting.
Although intended as re-enforcements for
the army already in that vicinity. they
disappeared from the railroad in battle
formation.
Gen. Trevino, who is directing the oper-
ations of the Mexican army from Chihua-
hua City, has served notice in unmis-
taxable language that the commanders
will attack, without notice, any force that
digresses from the American line Of COM
munications. Two squadrons of the

the two troops engaged. But despite the
fact that no report from these officers
had been forwarded to washinston up
to late hour last night. officers Of the
General staff professed not to share this
apprehension. They expressed the belief
that the return of the troops to head
quarters was due to the presence of a
large number of wounded in the ranks.
but expressed confidence that within the
next twelve hours some word would be
heard from the two squadrons OF the
Eleventh Cavalry sent out to locate the
American force.
Indications that the censorship was be-
ing restored to a certain extent at the
War Department led to the belief in
some quarters that the departments ac-
ton yesterday afternoon in ordering all
the militia to the border was the result
of information received from Gen. Fun
ston which the department has seen At
to suppress for the time being. This
however. could not be confirmed, al
though 1t is known that during the dav
large number OF dispatches were re-
ceived which Secretary Baker did not

On the same train which brought the

Small Chance for Wounded.
With the Americans horses running
wild over the hills the troopers had little
chance to escape the deluge OF the enemy
numbers. Wounded men. in particular,
must have had infinitely small chance to
hide in the scant brush Of the plain and
escape the Mexicans after the troopers
lines were broken and flung aside.
There were ninety-six enlisted men and
officers that rode with Capt. Boyd and
Capt Morey in their scouting trip to dis
cover the strength of the Mexican army
moving towards the flank Of Pershing's
column. OF these the Mexicans originally
reported they had captured seventeen.
Tonight the news comes from Chihuahua
that seven more negro troopers have been
captured by our friends, the Carranzistas.

Dead Man Hill and Fort vaux as the
centers Of deadly activity.
This morning, while the great guns
