IN, June 23.—In an amendment to the Hay resolution euthorizing the President to draft into the Federal service immediately all Nations! Guardsmen willing to take the oath the House to-day unanimously declared that an emergency now existed necessitating a call on State troops. An amendment by Walsh shifting calling the militia was defeated by a v: Hay asked that the language of the blll empowering the President to draft | militia be made to read “That in the opinion of Congress, the United ergency the use of troops in addition to the; yegular army, the President be and | States, whereas an ein-! | now exists which demands | fs hereby authorized to draft into the | the | | United States army or all members of the National Guard.” Leader Mann objected any Republican fo having placed on Congress the re- | Bponsibility of declaring that an em- ergency exists, unless Presilent Wil- pon should directly or indirectly as- Bure the House that such is the case ‘Tam authorized,” replied Hay, “to .y the President Lelleves an emer- olutely ot | gency is present, and it is Mecessary to command the service the militia.” A resolution appropriating $1,000,000 to provide relief for National Guards- men whore families might suffer) through absence of the supportin member at the border was unani. mously passed by the House.

The commanders were requested to notify Gen, Funston when each regi- ent, troop, battery or other unit ompletes muster, Gen.

Inquiry of the War Department on this subject brought forth a state- ment from the Secretary that “the National Guard ts to do border patrol duty and thelr organisation will have to depend upon the neces- sities of that duty.” The War Department had no ad- vices to-day showing definitely the progress of the mobilization of the 100,000 National Guardsmen oalled for border service. By the new order, mustering officers in the various departments are in- structed to submit to the Depart- mental commanders reports on the progress being made by each Na- tional Guard organization with its mobilization, ‘The entire operation will be carried out between Gen.

TOKIO, June %%.—The Mitsui Company informed a representative of the Associated Press to-day that {t recently received inquiries from the Mexican Government as to whether {t could supply munitions and arms, The company replied that it was physically impossible, as it had more orders than it could fill for the allies of Japan. The Mitsui, Takada and Okura, three large companies exporting arms, formed a joint munition cor- poration before the war to purchase munitions from the Government arsenal, which ts the only establish- ment of the kind in Japan, “Of course, any claim that the Jap- anese Government will asal cans with munitions and arr ot the question and absurd,” Baron Ishi, Foretgn Minister, when | asked to-day for his views on the| Mexican situation, The interview was sought on account of declarations at- tributed to Mexicans that assurances nad been received from Japan that munitions and other assistance would be given to Mexico in the event of war with the United Btates, “As for private Japan selling arms to Mexican: eign Minister continued, “I consider it extremely improbab!

This is especially true at a moment when the whole European trade is virtually closed to Japan and the Chinese market is seriously up- set.” Baron Ishil expressed surprise when the correspondent referred to Gen, Ramon Iturbe, @ representative of Gen, Carranza who was reported several weeks ago to be on his way to Japan on a secret mission, The Baron declared he never had heard of Gen. Iturbe or his projected visit. He explained that he regurded the Carranza government as the de facto Government of Mexico, and that the usual relations with Gen, Carranza were being maintained, Japan's interests in Mextoo, he gald, were in charge of Heoretary Ohta, formerly attached to the Jap- nese Embassy at Washington, Ho said he had received no advices from Becretary Ohta in regard to the pros- ent situation, Col, Manuel Romero, recently pointed Min’ r to Japan by ¢ Carranza, has reached this country but has not had an audjence with the Fmperor, and the Baron sald tt was impossible to stata when he would be received tn audience.

Headquarters. EL PASO, Texas, June 23.-—Reports received to-day by American mining companies from Mexi- can sources stated that Troops C and K of the T-nth United States Cavalry were practically annihiiated in the fighting at Carrizal when led into the Car- ranzista trap. While there is no official news confirming this report, army officers are without any information as to the fate of the cavalry commanded by Capt. Lewis G. Morey. The possibility that the squadron of the Eleventh Cavalry seni to their relief has also been engaged by the Carranzistas caused the gravest anxiety in official circles here to-day. Nothing has been heard from Morey’s men since they were lured into ambush Wednesday and cut up by machine gun fire. Gen, Pershing has arranged to reinforce the relief column if it is attacked. » It is reported that the seventeen troopers, taken to Chihuahua atter the Carrizal fight, were being brougitt to Juarez to be turned over to American authorit SAN ANTONIO, Tex., June 23.—Fear that the casualties suffered by Capt. Boyd's command had been very heavy was expressed by army officers here. It was pointed out that if twelve men had been killed, as reported, it would mean that trom thirty-five to forty had been wounded, fing to the usual proportion, According to all accounts there were seventy-six men engaged, Of these Capt. Boyd and Lieut. Adair and ten men were killed, Seventeen men were captured. This would leave forty-seven men to be accounted for. Indeed, from the reports available so far, it is by no means certain that Capt. Boyd's command was not practically wiped out. The made reports £—— were acer stragglers who unable to give any Me. of way back into the American LUnes. Gon, Pershing sald that before the Americans left on the expedition both he and Major Evans of the Tenth Cavalry cautioned the commanding officer to be careful and not to pro- voke @ tight. Gen. Pershing hae wired Gen. Funston that the Mexican garri- son has evacuated Casas Grandes. He made no mention of having cupied the city, Funston wi clined to doubt press reports that Pershing had declared martial law in that eclty and Nuevo Casas Grandes, saying he believed shing would have seported euch action, Forty carloads of pontoon bridg arrived here to-day from barracks at | Washington, D. C. Two compant of United States Engineers are ex- pected within the next forty-eight tails of the later the | buttle, or to estimate the casualties. As soon as the American cavalry commander saw battle was imminent ho disiaounted his men and pushed them forward into action on foot, sending bis horses to the rear by the usual horse-bolders.
