State of War.
Special Despotch 10 TEE srx.

WARRINGTON, June l6.-While a.
solemn warning was being uttered in the
Senate that the gravest consequences
in all probability would flow from the
despatch Of American troops into Mexico
at Juarez and the House was being
told In detail OF wholesale murders of
Americans in Mexico prior to and dur
ing the Carranza regime. the State and
War Departments were making feverish
efforts to forestall anticipated protests
from the Carranza Government for
sending American soldiers into Mexican
territory.
1t is fully realized by the Admins
tration that while the action of Gen.
Cabell in sending troops across the Rio
Grande may have been the only course
open to him TO protect Americans and
American property yet the prestige OF
CarranZa With his people Is not so strong
but what an indignant protest from him
because OF this action is certain TO be
made. This Is particularly true when 1t
Is considered that President CarranZa
has never admitted the right of Ameri-
can soldiers to cross into Mexico for any
reason whatever.
Facing this problem Assistant Secre-
tary Of State Phillips in the temporary
absence of Counsellor Polk. who is the
Acting Secretary, Immediately invited
Gen. Aguilar, here on a special mission
for Mexico. and Juan b. Rojo. Charge
d'Affaires Of the Mexican Embassy, into
immediate conference at the State De-
partment. Mr.. Phillips sought to i'm
press on these Mexicans that the inva-
sion OF Juarez was not an act of I'M
friendliness toward Carranza and that
the sole motive OF the United States was
to insure adequate protection for Amerl-
cans on both sides Of the border at that
point.

ONE AMERICAN Is
KILLED, WOUNDED


Ysleta, Tex, twelve miles southeast OF
here. Strong patrols are now being
maintained throughout FL Paso and at
other points along the border, as we'll
as at the Ell Paso end of the interna-
tional bridge.
Tho first fighting between the Ameri-
can troops and the Villistas occurred at
9 o'clock this morning at the Juarez
racetrack. The Mexicans were in the
and were charged by the Ameri-
cans after n short military prepa-
ration, during which the Mexicans were
showered with shrspnel. The United
States troops advanced in open forma =
ton and dislodged the Mexicans with
very little trouble. The sound of the
firing from rife and machine guns could
be easily distinguished from the build
ings In downtown FL Paso. Gen. Erwin
watched the fighting. or at least watched
the flashes from the guns. from the tenth
floor OF the Mills Building military head
quarters here.
Mexicans Sent on the Run.
While the infantry was keeping the
Mexicans more than busy. a cavalry de-
tachment slipped behind them and got
on their ranks. where they opened up
with rifles and machine guns. Within
half an hour the Villistas had been de-
feated and were breaking up into bands,
running for the bills or fleeing south
ward over the plains, pursued by Ameri-
can cavalry. The United States troop
ers pursued the villistas for several
hours, killing a number OF them, and re-
turning to the Texas side with a hun
bred Villa cavalry horses and nine pris-
oners.
In announcing his intention OF order
ing American troops into Mexico Gen.
Erwin in a formal statement said he
had done so to prevent the indiscrim-
mate firing into Mexico by rebel SOL
diers. endangering the lives o. Ameri-
cans.
But on no account were they to
undertake an invasion of Mexico" said
Gen. Erwin LAS soon as the Villistas
.have been dispersed and the safety of
the citizens OF FL Paso assured, then
the troops OF my command will be with
drawn to the American side of the
border"
4 statement was issued here this
afternoon by Mayor Charles Davis OF
FL Paso, in which he said he regretted
that the American expedition had taken
place because OF the bad effect II would
have upon the situation IN Mexico, where
Americans have large interests in the
district controlled by villa.

Senator Fall entered into a discussion
OF the responsibility which this country
has assumed i'll connection with MeSi-
can destruction OF lives and property OF
Eur opean subjects in Mexico by reason
o. its request early in the period OF tur-
moil that European countries should not
press, for the time at any rate. their
claims against Mexico. He expressed
the conviction that we would be found
- have thereby assumed a large respon-
sihility in that connection. Mexico has
since that time borrowed largely from
the United States. and it may prove that
II these European claims are pressed
against Mexico that country will under
take to charge them or against the
Mexican debt to the United States.
Representative Gould tN. " in a
speech in the House to-day called atten-
ton to the fact that American troops
which went TO Juarez we're carrying out
"a tacit offensive military alliance be-
tween the United States and Mexicor by
pursuing and operating against the Villa
forces, although the ostensible purpose
of the invasion OF Juarez was TO prevent
further firing into FL Paso.
