squad of soldiers who held up the
train just after it had passed the
patrol post at KilOmeter No. IS and
went through the train at the head
Of his men searching for all Amer

AS fast as the Americans we're

stabbed in thu back with bayonets
and thrown bodily out of the cars.
The massacre occurred about 4

GIVES LIST OF DEAD
Sen. Lodge and Leon J. Ca
navO, Head of Mexican Bu-
reau to Hold Confer
enCe With Lansing.

WASHINGTON. Jan. 12.-Sec'y OF
state Lansing announced today that
no American official had been au-
tnorized to grant permission to
Americans to go into southern Chi
Euahua. He said that while it was
true that Carranza, at the time he
was recognized, had agreed to pro-
tect Americans throughout the re-
public, he could not be expected to
&C so in sections controlled by
rebels.
He said that a demand for sum-
mary apprehension and punishment
of the men guilty of taking the
Americans off the train and killing
them had been made on Carranza
through Consul Silliman. who is now
the head of the defacto government.
Sen. Lodge of Massachusetts,
ranking republican member of the
senate committee on foreign affairs.

today and requested an immediate
interview with Secy Lansing. 1t
was granted him. After he had been
with the secretary FIVE minutes, Leon
J. Canavo, head of the bureau of

partment TO date on the massacre
of the Americans in Mexico.
Is Deplorable Affair.
This is a deplorable affair. but 1
cannot saiy what action should be
taken yet" said Sen. Lodge as he
went into the conference.
So far as the administration is
concerned it was made plain that
no action has been decided upon. 1t
was learned that no announcement
will be made at the white house, as
was done following the sinking Of
the Lusitania and the Persia.
At the war department it was said
not a single official dispatch had
been received relating to the mas
sacre. Sec'y Garrison said he had
received unofficial word that 16
Americans had been killed by Mex
leans.
The last dispatch from Collector
Cobb said that ] . Americans and
one Canadian were victims of the
Mexicans. State department officials
made it plain that they must ascer-
tain what the Americans were doing
IN Mexico before they can decide on
any action.
Warned to Keep Out.
Leon ]. CanOva, chief of the Mex
lean bureau, pointed out today that
the state department had warned all
Americans out of Chihuahua and
Sonora on oct. 9. He said that the
department has knowledge of about
200 MOrmOns and 400 other Ameri-
cans remaining in those two states.
The state department issued list
of the murdered Americans, re-
ceived from its cons liar agents along
the border. The list did not contain
