U. S. TROOPS ARE
ORDERED ACROSS LINE
[Continued From First Pagf.]
on Mexican soli because of popular
feeling in his country. Carranza him
self, however, is believed to be so
eager for Villa's capture that he may
co-operate with the American troops.
At the cabinet meeting the dis
cussion of the situation was brief and
to the point. The cabinet unani
mously agreed that the only thing to
do was to send troops.
President Wilson took the same
position and at once instructed Sec
retary Baker to issue the necessary
orders. He also instructed Secretary
Uansing to inform General Carranza
of the attitude of the American gov
ernment. ~
Congress Approves
Leawers of both houses of Congress
were immediately notified from the
White House of the President's action.
They approved his course.
Before deciding finally to send the
troops after Villa, the President con
ferred over the telephone with Chair
man Stone of the Senate Foreign Re
lations committee, who told him he
believed the sentiment of Congress
would solidly support his action.
It was considered possible that
within a few days President Wilson
might go before Congress to recite the
series of acta by Villa which led up
to the ordering of troops to effect his
capture. It was said at the White
House, that the President had not yet
decided this point.
The President desires to move with
the entire co-operation of Congress.
Elesio Arredondo, General Carran
za's ambassador here, received the
news of the President's decision with
the statement that he could make no
comment and would at once notify
General Carranza. Yesterday he de
clared it was his own opinion that
such action would not be resented.
To Send More Troops
General Scott said the necessity of
providing stronger forces for the bor
der than it now has, while the Ameri
can troops are operating in Mexico,
would necessitate using some troops
not now there for the punitive expe
dition. They probably will be ordered
from other posts. No plans have been
made so far as is known for use of the
National Guard.
May Send Fleet
No orders had been issued to the
navy this afternoon, but it was con
sidered probable that some of the At
lantic fleet might be placed in Mexi
can waters to be near if Americans
in coast towns were endangered by
anti-American demonstrations. The
government is reluctant to make any
naval demonstration that might be
construed as against General Car
ranza-
Congress is Cool
While the President and the cabinet
were deciding to send the troops over
the border, the agitation had broken
out afresh in Congress.

FRIDAY EVENING, * HARBISBURG TELEGRAPH MARCH 10, 1916
| both Republicans, Introduced resolu-
I tions proposing action in different
i ways. Both resolutions were referred
: to the Foreign Relations Committee.
| while Chairman Stone counselled his
colleagues to let the executive de
partments of the government handle
I the situation.
I While the Senate was talking and
some desolutory speeches were being
j made in the House the President
| acted and the leaders, notified quickly
by telephone, from the White House,
passed the word around. It spread
quickly but both House and Senate
received it as cooly as announcement
of the passage of a routine billl. The
Democrats generally expressed the
opinion that the President's action
was wholly justified and the Republi
cans who have been urging action ex
pressed gratification that it had been
taken. There was no Bign of dissen
i sion.
House Applauds
If President Wilson appears before
Congress within the next few days it
probably -will be to inform that body
fully and officially of the State of
j affairs in Northern Mexico which led
I up to the sending of American forces
| and to take charge fully into his con
fidence.
Applause greeted a demand in the
House that troops be sent across the
border.
"The government should take this
matter in hand at once," said Repr?-
jsenatlve Smith, of Texas, "send troops
after the assassins and pursue them
until they are captured. They should
be brought back dead or alive. If
they are captured alive, they should
be brought to Columbus and hanged.
1 would put no limit on the number
of miles our troops might have to go
into Mexioo to do this. To Carranza
I would say that we are only doing
out duty."
12,000 Troops
Approximately 12,000 troops with
48 mountain batteries and field guns
are on the border between Douglas,
Ariz., and El Paso, Texas. A little
more than one-third of that force is
calvary and all could be assembled at
any point between the two towns
within two days. The calvary, and a
bDtfallion of mountain artillery with
12 mountain guns, especially designed
• for the character of fighting which
! the punitive expedition will wage,
could be assembled within 24 hours.
The mountain guns with which the
'mountain artillery Is equipped are
carried on mules and accompanied by
an ammunition train which would
enable them to operate with the cav
alry in the hills.
Representative Hernandez, of New
Mexico, evoked enthusiasm in the
House by urging that Carranza either
be forced to restore normal conditions
or United States troops be sent into
the country.
Colonel Slocum Reports
A detailed report on the Columbus
raid, received to-day from Colonel
Slocum follows:
"When Villa troops fall back just
before daylight we followed them with
a dismounted line at same time.. I
sent Major Tempklns with three
troops mounted to attack. Tompkins
followed them for about five miles
into Mexico, having three rifnnlng
fights with them, and finally made a
stand with their entire force they
stopped Tompkins" advance and he re
turned here. Had one corporal killed
in pursuit.
"Mexicans dropped considerable
material and loot which they had
gotten in town. Am reliably informed
it was Villa that made the attack with
1,500 men, leaving about 1.000 on
river east of Boca Grande. From his
spies in Columbus he was Informed
that there were but four troops here
and with three machine gun troops.
He intended capturing town, looting
bank and killing all Americans.
"Our casualties, five wounded, seven
killed. Lieut. Benson shot in arm.
Captain Williams, adjutant, slightly
wounded in hand. Eight civilians
killed in town, including one woman.
Hugo Pyre
"We have already burned bodies of
twenty-seven Mexican soldiers, most
of them killed in camp, some near the
bank and there are many other dead
Mexicans on Villa's line of retreat
about one mile west not yet collected.
"Mexican troops under Villa's per
i sonal command and by his orders
| made the charge through the camp.
I Our troops turned out quickly, drove
i Mexicans out killing seventeen in or
| about camp and about ten or twelve
in town.
"While our people at that time in
the morning were surprised they did
j their work well. Villa's attempt to
I capture camp and town was a com
| jjlete failure.
"Recommend one battalion infantry,
; one squadron of the Eighth cavarv
be sent here, then taken mounted
I troops to follow up Villa, leaving in
fantry to protect town. Do not be
! lieve Villa will make another attempt
j here.
"Several of our families living in
j town had narrow escapes, as the at- \
I tack was fierce All peaceful as sum-I
mer morning at this writing."
200 MEXICANS
KILLED DURING FRAY
[Continued From First Pmjco.]
by military authorities. Immediately
upon receipts of this report, a con
siderable body of armed civilians left
here in automobiles. Unconfirmed
reports of the appearance of Mexicans
near Victoria also were received.
Soldiers and citizens divided atten
tion to the vigil along the boundary
with the work of clearing yesterday's
battlefield of Mexican dead.
Signal Fires Burn
Signal fires along the border south
of here last night were believed to
have been placed by bandits and a re- J
port that armed raiders were in the
city of Ilachita, N. M., led the military
authorities to rush reinforcements to
the border patrol there.
The possibility of further bandit
raids was admitted by army officers
and armed civilians and State militia
men and cowboys are co-operating
with the Federal authorities in main
taining a border patrol.
The first, reinforcements arrived
early to-day when the first battalion
of the Twentieth Infantry, 250 men,
under Major W. R. Sample arrived
from Fort Bliss on a special train.
The batallon after receiving a fresh
supply of ammunition were dispatched
by Col. H. J. Slocum, commanding
the troops here, to Victoria, 12 miles
west. Other troops were reported to
have been dispatched at various
points along the border.
Villa Makes Stand
The pursuit of Villa and his men
by 250 American cavalrymen under
Majors Tompkins and Llndsley ended
when the Villa force made a deter
mined stand after reaching a series of
hills, 15 miles south ,of the border.
The battalion after receiving a fresh
during the battle consisted of the
death of a corporal whoso name has
not yet been learned, and the wound
ing of Captain George AVilliams, who
sustained a bullet wound in the hand.
The Mexican casualties in this engage
ment were not reported. Of the 16
Americans killed eight were civilians

All the wounded are expected to
I recover. In addition to those killed
! by Villa's men in Columbus, several
I others are believed to have been
! executed by the bandit chieftain be
fore the American Invasion. Arthur
McKlnney. William Corbett and James
O'Neill, employes of the Palomas
Land and Cattle Company, which
property was raided on March 1, were
captured and are said to have been
executed. John Edward Wright and
Frank Hayden, taken prisoners near
Pearson, Chihuahua, recently, are also
believed to have been killed.
Take Baby From Mother
Mrs. Maud H. Wright, wife of John
Edward Wright, was taken prisoner
with her husband and after nine days
in captivity was released during the
height of the battle In Columbus.
Her baby, she said, was taken from
her and she was told given to a Mex
ican family.
Mrs. Wright related how she learned
Villa had premeditated the attack
upon Columbus, and of the privations
endured by the bandits in their over
land Journey to their objective. A
Mexican soldier she said, told her that
the members of the Mormon colony
near Casas Grandes had been slain
by bandits. In tarrying out his plan
lor the attack. Villa Is said to have
sent spies to study the situation and
report the strength of the American
forces stationed at Columbus. In
connection with this alleged method,
Lebrado Marquez, a Mexican resident
under arrest here is believed to have
pointed out to the marauders the
houses in which Americans lived. A
search of Mexican homes for arms
was also made by the Federal author
ities.
A telegram ostensibly from the
manager of the Palomas cattle com
pany received here yesterday and stat
ing that Villa was there is now be
lieved to have been sent by Villa him
self as a ruse to cloak his movements.
Accordingly when Villa was thought
many miles from Columbus, he crept
upon the city and in darkness opened
fire and applied Ihe torch.
Quiet prevailed here early to-day.
Trains which arrived over night were
held here until daylight to avoid the
possibility of attack from the Mex
ican side.
Two Mexican wounded, one a Villa
general named Garcia, died at the
American army hospital early to-day.
The pocketbook of T. M. Evans,
one of the Americana killed in the
Santa Ysabel massacre, was found on
the, body of Pablo Lopez, second in
command to Villa.
A considerable force of armed
civilians left Ilachita to-day for Gib
son's ranch, fifteen miles west, upon
receipts of a report that a body of
Mexican bandits had appeared near
that point. Col. H. J. Slocum Imme
diately took steps to determine the
correctness of the report.
Dispatches to the Mexican em
bassy said that the Carranza consul
at Columbus was among the missing
and expressed the fear that he had
been killed. Eliseo Arredondo, Gen
eral Carranza's ambassador, said he
had communicated with his govern
ment, after his talk yesterday with
Secretary Lansing but had received no
reply.

McCumber, Republican, of North
Dakota, Introduced a resolution in the -
Senate to-day providing that Congress
shall direct the President to Imme-!
diately send an armed forced into j
Mexico, "to hunt and destroy" mur- j
dering bands guilty of atrocities j
against. American citizens.
Senator Fall also introduced his \
resolution providing for the recruit
ing of 500,000 volunteers to police
Mexico.
Senator Ashurst, Democrat. of
Arizona, sought immediate considera
tion of the McCumber resolution but
it was blocked on objection by Senator'
Stone. Mr. Ashurst declared that j
from his own information of condi- j
tions on the border of Ills State he'
knew that troubles In Mexico Instead ]
of nearing an end were only begin-1
ning.
Senator McCumber asked Senator!
Ashurst if he was in favor of the j
passage of his resolution. Mr. Ashurst I
brought forth applause from the gal- 1
lories by declaring that although the
shooting was not in his State, he was
not a Senator of a State, but of the
United States, and ready to protect
people no matter in what State they
lived.
"It is the duty of the Senate," said
he, "to vote authority to send troops
after those red-handed cut-throats,
bring them back to Columbus where
they made a funeral pyre out of Am
erican citizens and shoot them on the
spot."
