CAPTAIN BOYD'S NOTEBOOK FOUND His Note to General Geniez Said His Command Was on a Peaceful Mission. ONLY EIGHT MEN MISSING San Antonio, Tex., June 26.—Major Jenkins' report today of the opera- tions of the relief force that had been sent out to search for the scattered number of C and K troops of the Tenth cavalry, indicated that its work was completed, He was at the San Luis ranch near Carrizal and his men still were scouring the hills along the trails that the dispersed troop- ers followed after the fight with Car- ranza's men, but there appeared lit~ tle chance that any others would be found. Eight men remained unac- umption was they had been killed, jor Jenkins sent to General Per- shing a note book taken from the pucket of Captain Boyd by a sergeant when the officer fell during the en- gagement with the Mexicans. It con- tained three penciled notes, one a copy of the report to General Per- shing detailing the incidents of his march from the main line to a point near Carrizal; one a copy of the note sent by him to the authorities at Car- rizal requesting permission to pass through the town, and, the third the note from General Gomez inviting him to enter the town for a confer- ence. In the note sent by him to the authorities Captain Boyd had ex- plained that his command was on a peaceful mission, Reports from border commanders indicated no unusual activity beyond the international line, SIX MORE AMERICANS TAKEN.

A provision was sub- stituted, however, under. which those having dependent families would be exmept from the draft. The senate also struck out the clause declaring that in the. opinion of congress an emergency exists re- quiring use of the state troops, amending the resolution so that it merely authorizes the president to draft guardsmen whenever he shall decide there is such an emergency.

PERSHING'S FORCE IS READY T0 ACT Army in Mexico Now Consists of 12,000 Men in Perfect Fighting Trim. READY FOR MOST ANYTHING El Paso, Tex., June 264-General John J. Pershing's erstwhile punitive expeditionary force in Mexico is ready for action if action is.neces" sary. Today, according to the best in- formation here, his southernmost out- post is in the vicinity of El Valle, less than fifty miles from Colonia Dublan, the main base. It is bglieved that from El Valle a large and mobile force may be pointed eastward, in a strategic position toward the Mexi- can Central railroad. In the neighborhood of 12,000 men, in splendid fighting trim, compose General Pershing's army. Reports from the front indicate the highest morale among the men. Equipment has been put in the best of condition, Horses and mules have been tested until only the fit and strong remain. Big motor trains al- ready loaded with the necessary sup- plies for an ‘advance are lined up ready to be started. Incapacitated Were Sent Back. . There i#"not a single wounded or incapacitated man in the force. All have been sent to the base hospital at_Columbus. In the meantime every empty truck which remained at Columbus has been sent to the froft to aid in the speedy transportatibn of infantry. Speculation on the border today dealt with the possibility that some action by the Mexicans may precipi- tate hostilities before the exchanges between Washington and Mexico City are concluded. With the lines of the Americans and Mexicans paralleling for at least 150 miles, the rash action of some subordinate commander, it is consid- ered here, might at any time embroil the main commands. Tension, con- sequently, groys with each hour. ear that events might be thus hastened promlpted border command- ers to redouble their vigilance, At all points the: soldiers were ready to spring into action at a moment's no- tice. Troop dispositions were made with @ view to meeting sudden and unexpected emergencies. Five thousand National Guards are expected”to_come to El Paso, it was said today, and many of them may get here by the end of the week. From Columbus, it is reported that preparations are being made to take cars of 10,000 Guardsmen. Andres Garcia, the Mexican consul at El Paso, today declared himself still optimistic that trouble will be averted. “I do not see that there need be war, from any interpretation of Pres- ident’s Wilson's last note,” he de- clared, “These seventeen prisoners ought not offer an obstacle. 'We have received no information from the de facto authorities as to the questions on hand and the whole matter is up to General Carranza.” Villa Joins the Carranza Army, Information: reached here today from apparently reliable - resources that Francisco Villa, until recently at Santa Rosalie, had reached an agree- ment with the de facto government and that this was being used to in- duce his Jollowers to join the Care ranza fordes. \ > - MATTING SUIT CASES- Our stock of matting suiteases is extensive.
