JOHN
PLATTSMOUTH, :
AUER, Agent
NEBRASKA
El Paso, Tex., June 21. American
and Carranza troops fought a bloody
hattle today only a few hours after
President Wilson's 0,000-word rebuke
yesterday to General Carranza had
prone torwam 10 iiexico taiy. nun
which side victory rested is not
known.
The engagement took place on the
Santo Domingo ranch, near the Mex
ican town of Carrizal, which is nine
miles southwest of Villa Ahumada,
the Mexican field headquarters in
northern Chihuahua. This is about
ninety miles south of the border.
The number of dead, American or
Mexican, was not definitely known
here tonight, but nearly a score of
General Pershing's men are said to
have been killed, and the Mexicans
are said to have lost more than two
score.
Seventeen Taken Prisoners.
Seventeen Americans are declared
by Mexican officials to have been
captured and to have been hurried
to Chihuahua City under adequate
guard. A machine gun used by the
Mexicans is reported to have done
heavy execution.
The Americans engaged are
thought to have been members of a
troop from the Tenth cavalry, a negro
regiment, returning from a scouting
trip to Guzman. The size of the
Mexican force, whose commander,
General Felix Gomez, was killed, is
not known.
News of the battle was received in
Juarez early this afternoon by Gen
eral Francisco Gonzales, Carranza
commander of the military zone of
the border.
Keeps News Secret.
For some reason or other, General
Gonzales kept the story secret until
late in the afternoon, when an Amer
ican, J. C. Hubble, returning to the
border from the interior, brought to
El Paso the news that he had seen
numbers of Mexican dead along the
Mexican Central railroad tracks at
Villa Ahumada, and had been told j
that there had been an encounter with
the "Gringoes."
General Gonzales' first step after
confirming the news was to issue a
statement placing the blame on the
American commander. He charged
that the American troops fired first
on the Mexicans, and that their shots
were directed at a courier who had
just presented to them a request that
they retire.
Do Not Believe Statement.
American army officers declared
absolute disbelief tonight in General
Gonzales' assertions. The opinion
was expressed that if the Americans
fired on the Mexicans they did so
because it was necessary in order to
insure their own safety. General
Trevino's recent warning to General
Pershing not to send his troops east,
south or west of their positions was
recalled.
Excitement spread in El Paso as
extras were issued and the news be
came known. Quiet was maintained,
however, in view of General Bell's
frequent admonitions that his soldiers
could take care of any situation that
would arise. While awaiting instruc
tions frpm headquarters at San An
tonio, General Bell kept his entire
force in readiness for instant action.
In the meantime, however, word
came from Juarez that all was quiet,
although the news of the battle was
widespread there.
Crosses the River.
Andres Garcia, Mexican consul in
El Paso, crossed the Rio Grande fol
lowing the first reports of the en
gagement and remained with General
Gonzales through the night. He kept
in toucn witn uenerai uen on ine
American side by telephone, however.
Neither the consul nor the Mexican
military authorities would discuss re
ports of the proposed evacuation.
A large number of citizens of the
town were-busy loading their house
hold goods , on vans andy other . vehi
cles, ostensibly to : transport them to
the south;
Numbers of persons gathered about
the plaza immediately when the news
of the battle became public, but there
were no demonstrations.
Mexicans apparently, confined them
selves to speculation as to the conse
quences. Heavy patrols were thrown
into the streets with instructions to
put down any disorder.
At General Gomez' headquarters a
victory for Mexico was being claimed.
The scene in the front room of the
comandancia, where the younger offi
cers were gathered, was holiday-like.
Several of them, speaking of the bat
tle, said "we won."
Retain Composure.
. They remained composed, however,
and made little other reference to the
incident.
Juarez first learned of the fight in
vague form in the early afternoon.
The civilian population then began to
pack their household goods. Many
had already left for interior "points
by the morning train in anticipation
of the trouble. Others crossed to El
Paso later in the day.
A curious scene of the late day
was a procession of civilians carrying
arms. In age they ranged from small
boys, not as tall as their guns, up to
bent old men. Most of them were
in the ragged dress of the peon, but
some belonged to the better class and
wore good clothes.
Warlike activity was first noticed
at the railroad yards, where a string
of freight cars lay coupled to several
day coaches that bore the name of
the army corps of the north. A num
ber of men were employed there in
stowing sacks of beans and flour,
bales of forage and other army sup
plies. Late in the afternoon a rather
large body of Mexican cavalry passed
through the town toward the hills
Many wagons filled with women and
children were bound also in that di
rection.
