Valdez daily prospector., 1916-04-14

MEXICO CITY, April 14.-Gen- eral Obregon, commander of the Car ranza troops. has sent a message to President Carranza. stating that de tachment of American troops engaged in a pitched battle yesterday with the residents of the town of Parral, following the entry of troops into that town, and that the soldiers fin ally retired.
 The message does not state any of the circumstances leading up to the fight, but it is expected that some act on the part of the soldiers precipit- ated the battle.
Valdez daily prospector., 1916-04-14

WASHINGTON, D. C., April 14.- It is generally conceded here that if the reported attack by the residents of the Mexican town of Parral upon a detachment of American soldiers is verified that war with Mexico can- not be avoided.
