Colonel sIocum Exonerated.

Washington, July 31.-Extracts
from the final report of the inspector
generals department on the Villa raid
in Mexico, show that Col. Herbert
Slocum, of the Thirteenth cavalry,
has been exonerated from blame from
the surprise attack on his head
quarters and the town. It was this
raid that brought the Mexican situa-
ton to crisis and led to the puni-
tive expedition into Mexico.
The report is based upon volumi-
nous testimony heard from officers
and men of the Thirteenth, civilians
of Columbus and many others who
could be found with information on
the subject.
Part of the testimony was made
public. Unless there are unexpected
Developments the report probably
marks the closing OF the Columbus
incident.
