SECOND PUNITIVE
 FORCE ON ITS WAY
(Continued From First Page.)
Rodgers at Mexico City the state de- partment urged modification.
Attackers Number 300.

,sE1 Paso, Tex, May 8.-Overnight reports received by General Funston added little to the information regard ing the raid by Mexicans Friday night. Later reports indicated that the size of the attacking party was greater than at first believed, some estimates being as high as 300. The raiders a. tackled the guard of nine men of Troop A of the Fourteenth Cavalry at Glenn Springs just before midnight. The total number of killed was placed at six, three soldiers and three civil ians, two of whom are small boys. After continuing their raid to Deemers and Boquillas they were reported to have re-crossed into Mexican, al- 5 though some of the military reports indicated that a part of the Mexican Force was yet on the American side
 Capt. Cole of the Fourteenth Cav airy had arrived at Glenn Springs this morning with part of one company and four troops of cavalry sent from Fort Bliss and Fort Clark are expect ed to detrain early today at Marathon, from where the march to the border .would be begun. It was not expected that this force would reach the border before Wednesday night and perhaps
 
 tance they will have to march is 110 miles.
 Greater Protection Assured.
 The additional troops being sent into the region will be disposed of in such a manner as to give to the ,ranchers and towns greater protec- ton but it was indicated at General Funston's headquarters that fresh ef- 
 department add to the strength of the forces in the southern department. If It is decided to send into Mexicp from that part of the international line a punitive expedition a much larger force is necessary than is now avail able, according to army officers.
 Lieut.. Norton of the Fourteenth Cavalry sent to headquarters a dis patch that confirmed earlier reports that added information regarding the heroic fight made by Sergeant Smytll, who continued to handle his men in an efficient manner after he had been seriously burned and who rescued his wounded and removed his dead while under a sharp fire.
 Just before the fighting ended the relief guard appeared and it was on the motor truck on which they had come that the sergeant was able to send away the dead and wounded
 Relief Party Delayed.
 The relief guard had been delayed In reaching Glenn Springs. Had it arrived on time the raiding party would have found eighteen soldiers 70 meet them instead of the nine who held them off for three hours.
 Two of the wounded men, Privates Frank Defree and James Birck, were brought here last night for treatment d in the base hospital. Defree was sho through the left hand and Bircll through the arm and shoulder. His wounds were caused by buckshot.
