AVENGING AMERICANS
STRIKE AND WITHDRAW
Fourth Punitive Expedition Cleans
Out Nest of Bandits in Mexico
and Waits for Developments.

Brownsville. Tex, June 18.-Having
ACCOMPLISHED its object, the dispensing
of Mexican bandits who Friday night
raided Texas ranches and attacked
detachment of the Twenty-sixth In
fantry east of San Benito, Texas, and
upon promise of the Carranza COM
mander at Matamoros that he would
run down and punish the outlaws, the
fourth American punitive expedition
to enter Mexico was Withdrawn today.
There were no American casualties.
Two bandits were killed and two
wounded, according to the official re-
port of the fight, although an unofh-
cial report confirmed in Matamoros
tonight placed the Mexican dead at
two.
The withdrawn expedition tonight
is camped at San Pedro, Texas, about
12 miles west of Brownsville, await
ing developments after having, ac-
cording to Gen. Japss Parker's Of
fetal report, cleaned out a nest OF
bandits on ranches opposite the San
Pedro Ranchito district"
These ranches included the Tahua-
chal ranch, about one mile west OF
Matamoros, which is notorious as
bandit haven.
Military authorities tonight regard
ed the situation as fraught with the
gravest possibilities. This is occasion
ed by report that the leader Of the
band which engaged the troops when
thew were withdrawing was clad in
costume composed partly of the uni
form of a Carranza soldier. He was
one of the men killed.
The attack on the rear guard was
made after two troops and machine
gun troop of the Third cavalry had
recrossed to the United states
Troops E and F, commanded by Lieut..
John Reade, Jr., and Lieut.. Peabody
were covering the retreat.

STATEMENT BY THE GOVERNOR
Says Take Care OF Jobs Held By the
National Guardsmen.

Columbia, June 18.-Ready to re-
spond the minute orders are received
from Washington for the mobilization
of the South Carolina troops, Gov
ernor Manning and Adjt. Gen. Moore
remained on duty until after midnigh5
to receive the official instructions to
mobilize the South Carolina militia.
The goveY nor's Office kept open
throughout the night, and he remain
ed in touch with a telephone at his
side to start the machinery in mo-
ton which would gather the militia
at Camp Styx.
The governor read the press dis
patches telling Of the call by the
president for the militia for use on
the Mexican border, and last night
dictated the following statement to
the people and the National Guard:
81 know that the National Guard
will gladly and willingly respond 10
the call to aid in the defense of Amer
lean rights, American lives and Amer
lean honor. l feel certain those who
employ men who are members of the
militia will make satisfactory ar
rangements whereby the men can re-
spond for service on the border with
out injury to their positions, so that
South Carolina will sustain her en-
viable reputation for patriotism and
devotion to duty. 1 know there will
be the best of cooperation between
the people and the National Guard.
South Carolina stands ready to fur
nish promptly her quota OF men tor
service in this crisis"

pressed wish to die in harness, and
was so quoted. Before the State con-
vention met. one of Senator Tillman's
secretaries was down here anXlously
inuuiring about the situation, etc.
etc.
That editorial followed the publica-
ton of an article in the COLUMBIA
State on the morning of June 10, IN
which it was stated: John Gary
Evans of SpartanDurg has been elect
ed Democratic national committee
man from South Carolina, according
to advices received in Columbia yes
terdav. Mr.. Evans succeeds Senator
B R. Tillman, who desired to retire
from the national committee. Com
mittee assignments of the South
Carolina delegation in the national
Democratic convention at st. Louis
we're contained in a telegram recelV-
ed Yesterday at the governors offlce,
etc. "The delegation meeting in 81.
Louis elected Gov Manning as chair
man"
Now comes the Record on Sunday
morning with the statement that the
report was "erroneous; that eve are
informed by the chairman of the
South Carolina delegation that these
reports were incorrect, and that Mr..
Evans merely held Mr.. Tillman 5
proxy"
So that the State chairman is mere
" acting" for the national commit
teeman.
There will probably be some bit
terness in the campaign which opens
tomorrow at Spartanburg. There
usually is in a South Carolina cam
paign. But it is well that we are to
have another State campaign-and
the State campaign was probably
saved by the people expressing them
selves emphatically at their CLUB
meetings. A general airing Of the
whole situation will do good, and t
will be of inestimable value if the
people can be induced to demand a
closer interest in their own affairs.

insisted that Japan had idea Of permanent occupa-

the war was over.
