(By Review Leased Wire. !

(By Review Leased Wire)
 SAN ANTONIO, Tex. June
 23.-The two troops of the Tenth
 cavalry under Captain Charles
 T. Boyd were practically wiped
 out by the attacking Mexican
 forces under General Gonez at
 carrizal June 21. according 10 ir-
 dic5tion uiven in fr7cmentary
 reports received by General Funs
 ton from General Pershine to- night.
 General Pershins's message stated that seven survivors in all including those who arrived last night have reached the main column. All were enlisted men. bu. the report did not say whether there were non-commis stoned officers among them.
 Accordino to the stories of the
 survivors ss outlined in General
 Persrino's report mounted force
 of MeSicans made charoe from
 the flank. at the conclusion of
 harley between Captain Boyd and
 General Gomez. at the same time that n,achiae oun opened fire from the front as Gomez reached
 his lines.
 CaDtain Boyd had ordered his men to dismount as the machine gun onened fire. and the combined effect of the Mexican charge. the machine gun fire and the rifle fire from the Mexican garrison of Carrizal which had almost surrounded the little American force under cover of the barley sought by General Gomez to discuss whether Captain Boyd should be allowed to pass through the town. stampeded the horses. No details were made known to General Persh- ing as to whether the Mexican charge was checked
 Were Surroun6ed.
 With their mounts uone. and caught without means of escapino, rinped about on thret sides with the fire of an overwhelming force. the fate of the little detachment
 is believed by officers here to have been sealed. It is declared that only the most stupenduous luck. backed by desperate vaIor. could have extricated Captain
 Boyd's men from the trap.
 Over 12 Dead; 17 Captured.
 The reports from Mexican forces placed the number killed. including two officers at from 12 to 40. 1t is reported 17 were taken captive into Chihuahua City.
 Perhaps 30 Wounded.
 The accepted percentage of wound ed to those killed in modern warfare would place the wounded at from B to 40. at the lowest estimate. The strength of the two troops is not known here, but it is estimated that they could not exceed 1S0 ten, al lowing for those sick and on detach- ment service. With but seven survi- vors reported as arriving at the main column the number of those account d for at least speculatively is pitifully small. The report from General Pershing stated that the stories of the survivors were confused and did not conform in all details with tho report made by the first arrivals from the battlefield.

Government Has Key to
Gasoline Problem Declares
Bailey in Development Bill
Special TO the Telegraph

Washington, d. c., April 4. That
there are over six million acres of
oil-bearing lands which the United
States Government might develop on
it's own initiative, was asserted by
Representative Warren Worth Bailey,
of Pennsylvania, in connection with
the bill for government entry into the
oil business, introduced in the House
yesterday.
"The gasoline situation is absolutely
in the hands of Congress. said Mr..
Bailey. "It can solve the problem of
eXtortionate prices at a stroke If it is
so minded. 7 hope it will be so mind
ed. Under the terms or my bill, the
Secretary of the Interior is authorized
to proceed with new development OF

There are over 100000 acres of such
lands If the people want cheaper
gasoline Congress can give it to them

across 1t is as simple as rolling off a

After disposinE of the matter in this
manner, Mr.. Bailev talked to num-
her of members OF the House and he
said he found them considerably IN
terested in my proposal" He said he
believed the Committee on Public
Lands would take kindly to his pro-
posaI. Mr.. Bailey thinks that the

State Wants City's
Firehouses in Park Zone
Removed by Jan.

Harrisburg was formally requested
to-day by the Capitol Park Extension
Commission to move the Citizen and
the Mount Vernon frehouses from the
park extension zone by January l,
1917. and Council this morning turned
the communication over to Commits
sioner Z. u. Gross, superintendent of
parks and public property.
The city released its property, in
Guiding the streets, in the park zone
November 16, 1911. The Mount Ver-
non frontage of 81 feet and the Citizen
frontage of 2S feet in Fourth street
are among the buildings which the
city gave over to the State.
The request for the razinE OF the
two frehouses, however, aroused con-
siderable conjecture in city quarters as
to what will become of the companies
that are housed in that district. Com
missioner Gross said he couldn't dis
cuss the problem, as the matter hadn't
progressed to that point. In certain
firemen quarters. however. IT is be-
lieved the two buildings will eventually
lead to the esta ablishment of central
fire station at the Hope and the pos
sible removal of some of the equip
ment, of the two companies to the
Camp Curtin or other houses.

Twenty Hours
BLOWS OWN HEAD OFF
Whole Village Terror Stricken
by Guide Who Shoots at
Everyone in Sight
BY Associated Press

Babylon, l.. J., April 4.-William
Donley, hunter and guide. lay dead
to-day in his home where he had
wounded five persons and fought a
long battle with the sheriff and four
teen deputies who attempted to ar
rest him.
Armed with rifles, shot guns and re-
volvers, Donley withstood siege by the
county authorities from noon yester-
day until early this morning. When
the attackers, after a long silence
forced their way into the house they
found Donley had almost blown the
upper part of his head off with a
shot gun. The body lay at the head
of the stairs where Donley had for
hours kept the besiegers at bay.
The townspeople who had been ter
ror-stricken for more than II hour
while the battle went on, f1ocked T.
the Donley house to-day to view tn
scene of the fight.
Fined For Killing Ducks
Donley's friends believe he wa
driven to temporary insanity by his
recent arrest for shooting ducks out
of season and the imposition of a fine
of $500, which he could not pay. He
accused two of his neighbors of max
ing complaint against him and open
ing fire on them with shot gun
wounded both. A third neighbor whr
intervened also was wounded. Don
ley then fired several shots at his wifi
and at the wife of neighbor, slight
ly wounding the latter. Four hour
thereafter Donley fired at any persol
who came near his home. A police
man attempting to arrest him was sho
in the arm and leg. F.

San Antonio, Texas, April 4.--Ofi-
cial admission of the belief that Fran
cisco Villa has fled far beyond the
American forces and now is operating
south of Chihuahua City was made at
General Funston's headquarters to-
day.
Since yesterday, much information
indicating that the bandit was in the
wards Parral, has been received but
that regarded by General Funston
and his staff as most reliable came
from Consul Letcher at Chihuahua.
If it is proven that Villa is on his
way south, perhaps toward Parral, or
Torreon. the campaign against him
cannot be carried much further un-
less the railroads between Chihuahua
City and the border are made avail
able for the moving of troops to
strengthen the lines of communica-
tion. This was frankly stated ut Gen
eral Funston's headquarters where il
was also intimated that representa-
tions to this effect would be made to
the War Department.
