I was first reported that forty Americans had been killed. The Consulate announcement said complete details had been received from Villa Ahumada. The Americans removed their wounded with them. The bodies of the American dead were counted as they lay on the field | of battle. {A despatch trom Columbus says Capt. Lewis 8. Morey of the Tenth Cavalry is reported to have been in command of the detach- ment of American soldiers. } ‘The Mexicans claimed they captured twenty horses and twenty rifles at Carrizal. .* All arcounts from Mexican sources show: that the 500 Americans led into ambush by 4,000 Mexican troops. Gen, Pershing is reported | te have sent additional troops of the Tenth Cavalry to rescue their s@nrades, INTO AMBUSH, IT IS CHARGED. From reports received by State Department agents, mining com-! and the Carranzista officials here, it appears that five troops of the Cavalry—numbering about 500 men—were on scout duty near I when they were discovered by Carranzista outposts. These Mexi- can troopers hastened back to the hamlet. Gen, Felix Gomez, command: | ing the de facto troops in the town, ordered machine guns secreted on the! roofs of houses and hid is men behind adobe walls. A small company Mexicans was sent to the wester part of the town to wave a flag of q y The unsuspecting American cavalrymen rode into the ambush. the Mexicans opened fire from their machine guns, the negro t fought back with great bravery. literally riddled with American bullets. | JERICANS CHARGED UNSEEN FOES. | The Americans charged the unseen Mexicans in an effort to re- several of their number and inflicted heavy casualties, the reports They were finally forced to retire in face of vastly supenor forces. Gomez is believe to have had 4,000 men under his nd. The fighting continued two hours, the Carranzistas being meanwhile reinforced from the large Carranzista forces in Villa Ahumada. | + Another version of the engagement was brought here to-day by. ican civilian, who was in Vila Ahumada yesterday afternoon and said he assisted in dressing some of the Mexican wounded. He} that Gen, Felix Gomez, the slain Carranza leader, had been aware the approach of the Americans for twelve jours and had sent a num- ber of couriers to them warning them to return to their encampment. AIT FALL DUG IN PATH OF AMERICANS. When they persisted in their advance, he said, a pitfall several bundred teet in length was dug directly in the trail over which the gavalrymen must ride This was cleverly concealed with brush. As the Americans rode unsuspectingly through the sand dunes toward the intrenchment Gen. Gornez lay concealed some hundred yards 4way in the mesquite. Th: horses of the American vanguard plunged into the pitfall, unseating their riders and injuring a number of them. Then, the Mexican asserted, the Carranza forces lying in ambush ued the American ath wit 4 machine gun. The heavy fire forced Americans to withdraw to reorganize their line and the Mexicans a seventeen soldiers whe had been thrown into the pit. He asnerted that {t was then that Gen. Gomez went forward under a) ties of truce, and that before the proposed parley had begun an trre-! sponsible soldier again ‘ted the machine gun fire. " g@ small detachment of cavalrymen charged toward Gen. Gomez and; hig party. who were in the centre of a fleld, directly between the two commands, their pistol fire killing the Mexican leader } Military authorities here expressed no doubt that both commands suf- | fered heavily in the fight, but pointed out that no information concerning the engagement other than that from Mexican sources has been received. Hiven the two Americans, James Maxey and J. C. Hubble, who brought the most detailed accounts to the border, said that their informants were all Mexicans.

During the night upward of one thousand Mexicans crossed the | border from El Paso to Juarez and to-day the exodus continued. Many ot! these left immediately for the south, while the town itself was being rapidly depopulated. Through the night a steady stream of wagons carrying the | household goode of citizens of the town poured out along the roads leading |to the south. Whether the civilians had been warned by the military | authorities to leave the town could not be learned, Army officers asserted to-day that the Mexican leaders have long real- fred that in the event of hostilities with the United States they could not hope to hold Juarez against the Americans and have planned to withdraw to @ more strategic point.
