probable that even already General
Pershing may have taken steps to
even the score. Many officers at de-
partment headquarters believed that
II he had not already sent a heavy
force toward Ahumada, he would do
so on receipt OF the news, and the
knowledge OF the number of men he
has and OF their condition and state

doubt the drastic punishment he

TWO TROOPS WIPED
OUT BY MEXICANS
ONLY SEVEN SURVIVORS OF
TENTH CAVALRY REACH THE
MAIN COLUMN.
Men Taken by Surprise at Conclusion
of Farley Being Attacked on All
Sides and Facing Machine
Gun Fire.

San Antonio, TeXas-The two troops
of the Tenth cavalry under Captain
Charles T. Boyd were practically
wiped out by the attack of Mexican
forces under General Gomez at Carri-
zal June 81, according to indications
given in fragmentary reports received
by General Funston from General
Pershing Friday night.
General Pershing's message stated
that seven survivors in all, including
those who arrived Friday night, have
reached the main column. All were
enlisted men, but the report did not
say whether there were noncommis-
stoned officers among them.
According to the stories of the sur
vivors, as outlined in General Per
shings report, mounted force of
Mexicans made charge from the
flank at the conclusion of a parley be-
tween Captain Boyd and General Go
mez at the same time that a machine
gun opened fire from the front as Gem
eral Gomez reached his lines.
Captain Boyd had ordered his men
to dismount as the machine gun open
ed fire, and the combined effect of the
Mexican charge, the machine gun
fire and the rife fire from the Next
can garrison of Carrizal, which had
almost surrounded the little Ameri-
can force under cover of the parley
sought by General Gomez to discuss
whether Captain Boyd should be al
lowed to pass through the town, STAN
peded the horses. No details were
made known to General Pershing as
to whether the Mexican charge was
checked.
The stragglers were apparently cut
off in an effort of Coptain Boyd to ex-
tricate his men from the jaws of the
trap which was closing on his COM
mand. or fed before the outcome of
the battle could be learned.
General Pershing, according to his
report, has received no word from the
two battalions of the Eleventh cav
airy, which he sent to rescue the
remnants Of Captain Boyt's expedi-
ton. He stated that he had taken no
measures to support the squadrons of
the Eleventh.
