EL PASO., Tex., June 22. According to an unconfinnetla'eport
received here this afternoon Brigadier General John J. Pershing,
with 3000 men, has arrived at- a point near Villa Ahumada and has
sent an ultimatum to General Jacinto Trevino, Mexican commander,
threatening to attack the Mexican army concentrated at Villa Ahu
mada unless the(troopers captured in the hattle near there yesterday-
are given up.
This information was contained in a dispatch received by the
Cusi Mining Company from its agent at Cusihuirachi, Chihuahua.
The agent reported he had been unable to obtain confirmation.
Villa Ahumada is the Carranzista base 80 miles south of Juarez.
Trevino is believed to be there.

EL PASO, June 22 Twelve Americans and 11 Mexicans were
killed in the battle of Carrizal, according to an official statement
issued at the Carranzista consulate here today. It stated that the
commander of the American detachment was among those killed.
Seventeen American soldiers were made prisoners, the state
ment added, while 30 Mexicans were wounded.
A message from Columbus, N. M., says that it is reliably re
ported that Captain Lewis S. Morey was in command of the troops
engaged at Carrizal. Another report says that Major Ehvooil Evans
probably was in command of the detachment. Official report on this
point is lacking.
General Alvaro Obi-cgon, Mexican Wnr Minister, in -an official statement
accepts full responsibility in behalf of the Carranza Government for the attack
yesterday on the American forces at Carrizal.
Tho blame is placed on General Pershing by Obregon for ignoring the
warning issued Sunday by General Trevino that the United States troops must
not move in any direction except toward home, under threat of being attacked.
Tho casualties, as reported officially by the Mexicans were 12 American
dead, including the commander of the detachment, nnd 17 taken prisoners; 14
Mexican dead and 30 wounded. It is unofficially said that the captive Ameri
cans, taken to Chihuahua City, will bo hanged.
Unconfirmed reports "say that the United States troops were led into Car
rizal nnd ambushed, a flag of truce having been sent to tho commander asking
a conference.
General Pershing has rushed reinforcements to the 10th Cavalry and a
battle impends, if it has not occurred already.
Tho border bristles with big guns. War is believed inevitable. General
Dell, at El Paso, is ready to move at once. Juarez probably will be evacuated.
Strong Carranza forces aro massed just to tho south of the town. Heavy Mexican
detachments are gathering all along tho border facing American towns.
General Funston ha3 asked for the immediate dispatch of National Guard
forces. Units from the West will be on the move before nightfall. The first
National Guard called are from Missouri, California and Kansas. Others have
orders to complete mobilization immediately and bo ready for instant call.

TEARFUL LEAVE-TAKINGS
MEXICO CITY, June 32. Full respon
sibility for the attack upon .American sol
diers at Carrizal Is assume'd by Minister
of War Obregon in an official statement
issued at the War Department
This says that the Americans were trying
to occupy the railway station at Carrizal.
General Carranza has called a full meet
ing of the jCablnet for this afternoon, when
General Obregon will make a complete r
port on the situation. The statement Issued
by Genral Obregon follows;
'The Ministry under my charge, by the
First Chief's orders, instructed General Ja
cinto H. TreWno on June 18 that if General
Pershing's forces forming the punitive expe
dition which penetrated our national terrl
tory after the Columbus Incident moved
southward, eastward or westward 'rora
where they were they should bo attacked."
iSrly this morning (Wednesday) an
y i
American force tried to occupy the station
of Carrizal on the Mexican Central Rail
way. Oeneral Trevino ordered it to be at
tacked. The fight that resulted Is described
in official reports rendered to the mtnlst
by General Trevino as follows
"'June 21, J916.
" 'Headquarters, Chihuahua City, to Minis
ter of War and Navy, General Alvaro
Obregon
' 'General Francisco Gonzales reported to
me last night from Cludad -Juarex that
American forces were arriving at Santo

In quiet, buslness-liko orderliness the
various unlta of General Price's brigade as

serious Illness was exemption from duty
asked, nnd then reluctantly. The spirit of
the guardsmen" had been whetted overnight
by the late developments bejond the Mex'.
lean border, and while they maintained a
military reserve, their demeanor hid an
eagerness to get Into action.
At tho armories the regimental com
manders were early on the scene and held
conferences with their subordinate officers
a few minutes after the hour set for the
assembly. Immediately after these consul
tations the company commanders assembled
their men on the drill floors and read to
them tho articles of war. The rollcalls In
many companies revealed the presence of
every enlisted man, while the few absentees
were accounted for by serious illness or
equally valid excuse.
Preliminary details were told off for -the
duty of loading the company paraphernalia
neded for camp, and this work was virtually
completed by noon.
HIKES TO FAIRMOUNT PARK.
Drills In the armory and hikes to Fair
mount Park served to give the Guardmen
an appetite for mess, which was served in
the armories.
The soldiers this afternoon resumed the,
routine of drills and hikes which will be
maintained until evening. The command-

JAPAN SENDS WARSHIPS TO MEXICAN JORT
MEXICO CITY, June 22. It Is officially reported that a Japanese cruiser arrived
off Mazatlon yesterday. Officials believe more Japanese warships will arrive in
Mexican ports shortly. The purpose of tho shipswaa not made public Officially
It is stated tho United States wyly to Carranza's note will be publ'shed here within
the next -18 hours.
The United Gas Improvement Company
has nnnounced that an effort will be mad
to rcduco the cost of gas to consumers of
Philadelphia. President Samuel T. Bodlne,
In making the announcement, admits that
the company will lose nothing through the
plan and that the cost of the reduction will
fall directly 'upon the city treasury, as the
cost will be deducted from the share of
profits the city now receives under the pro
visions of the lease of the gas works. Th
plan has not yet been whipped Into shape
to present to the Mayor and Councils.
Tho proposal of President Bodlne to give
SO-cent gaB to Philadelphia, If the city gives
up tho 20 cents royalty It receives per
thousand feet of gas "Bold, Is likely to meet
serious opposition, because It would deprive
the city of 92,000,000 a year Income at a
time when the necessity for an lncreaa
in the tax rato Is admitted, even without
disturbing the gas lease.
Philadelphia this autumn will face a
situation calling for radical revision of the
city reenues, and any scheme to curtail
Income will meet with opposition accord
lng to members of the Finance Committee
of Councils.
Mayor Smith bo far has given no con
sideration to the question of abandoning
city revenues for the benefit of the United
Gas Improvement Company or the con
sumers and until he has a conference with
President Bodlne will have nothing to 'say
about the plan. The scheme to give the
consumers 80-cent gas was proposed yeara
ago under former Mayor Blankenburg and
at that time was abandoned because of the
