In announcing that Maj. Gen. Joseph
T. Dickman, commanding the Southern
department, had acted on instructions
from the War Department. Secretary
Baker intimnted that only the danger
in which the two officers were placed
prevented an attempt to rescue them
by force.
"When the reports came Of the cap

being held for ransom" Secretary
Baker said, 1.-THE hour OF execution on
the next day In default of the ran
som being paid, there was. Of course,
no opportunity to make a military res
cue within such time and therefore
directed that the ransom money be
paid and that force be arranged to
take up the hot trail of the bandits
and pursue them with the hope of be-
ing able to capture as many as pos
sible."
Details of how the dash was con-
Quoted were left entirely to General
Dickman, the only requirement being
that it should be made with n swift

The close proximity of the bandit
rendezvous to the border led to the
hope that the American troops might
overtake them before they would have
