El Paso, Tex.--Official reports from General Pershing include a graphic story of the Carrizal fight, told by one of the survivors of the troops of the Tenth cavalry, which waS ambushed by Carranza^ troops. This survivor declares that when the American col­ umn reached Carrizal, Captain Boyd asked permission to enter the town to search for bandits and that General Felix Gomez sent back word, giving permission to enter. The trooper's story of the subse­ quent events follows-? "Gomez himself rode out' to meet Captain Boyd. Captain Boyd gave the word for the column to advance. We were just starting forward when we noticed Mexican troops pouring out from behind different kinds of shelter --adobe houses and the^llke--and de­ ploying to the right and left. It was battle formation. From the first glance we saw that they outnumbered us at least five to one. "Captain Boyd noticed their move­ ment. To any soldier that sort- of thing ean mean only that an attack is about to be made. I saw Captain Boyd mo­ tion to the Mexicans and make some remark about It to Gomez. Gomez wheeled* his mount around and sig­ naled with his hands. Then he made a dash for his own lines. "At the same time a couple of ma­ chine, guns, one at each end of the Mexican line, opened up on us. Wc were caught in our saddles In easy range, and we were good targets. 1 saw Captain Boyd fall. A moment iater Captain Morey was wounded in the shoulder. , "Lieutenant Adair gave us the order to dismount. We got out of our sad­ dles In a hurry. Then he told us to throw ourselves on our faces and re­ turn the fire. Someone got Gomez just as he Was reaching his line. The next minute Lieutenant Adair was bit. Both he and Captain Boyd are dead. I believe. Horses Going Down. "The machine guns were still going. I could hear the bullets whizzing over us. Because of Lieutenant Adair's or­ der we saved a lot of men. But the horses did not have the same luck. The bullets started to hit them, and ihey were going down as if their legs were suddenly cut out from under them; "The others, f£ung by the bullets and kicked by the dying horses, began to rear and pluuge. The men in charge tried their best to hold them .but they broke away. Some <bf- the men were killed trying to save their mounts. "When the horses got away we were marooned. We fought back and pre­ vented the Mexicans from advancing in spite of their advantage in numbers and the machine guns. We began to fall back toward the hills as well as we could, v "We recovered four horses and then the four of us were sent here to re­ port. "V^e left the rest of the troops in the hlls.

Jacinto B. Trevino not to permit American forces from General Per­ shing's column to advance further south, not to move either east or west from the points where they are lo­ cated and to oppose new incursions of American soldiers into Mexican terri­ tory. " These orders were brought by General Trevino to the attention of General Pershing, who acknowledged the receipt of the communication rel­ ative thereto. On the 22d Inst., as your excellency knows, an American forced moved eastward, quite far from its base, notwithstanding the above orders, and was engaged by Mexican troops at Carrizal, state of Chihuahua. As a result of the encounter several Cu$t. Lewis S. Morey, Troop C.

But even as It stands It is one of the noblest recitals of the heroism Of an American that history has known. It Is known that Coptain Morey's report establishes to a certainty that the American troops, fearing attack, were moving forward in battle forma­ tion when the Mexican ambush opened fire. • He was the only United States of­ ficer who escaped, even temporarily, with his life. In the smoke of the en­ gagement three of his men lifted him where he had fallen, wounded, and carried him 2,000 yards to a hole, where they hid him until the Mexi­ cans had ridden away. Then they began their task of car­ rying him across the desert. The sun blazed down upon them; there was not a drop of water. Two miles they progressed and then they could go no farther. Soldier's Duty Last Taak. Captain Morey, seeing that the gal­ lant effort to rescue him was hope­ less, then called on one of the men to support him in a semi-sitting pos­ ture, while he carefully did his last soldierly duty, drawing a report to his superior officer. Captain Morey's letter told of the joining of C troop, under Capt. Charles T. Boyd, and K. troop, under his own command, at Ojo Santo Do- about 120 Mexicans on me edge of the town. We formed C troop on the Xe*t in line of skirmishers, one platoon of K troop on right of line and anothsr K troop platoon on Extreme right, e»- chclcned a little to the rear.

Thirty-two members of the commit­ tee supported the indorsement resolu­ tion offered by James It. Garfield of Ohio. Six voted against it and nine declined to vote. The action, which was takep in ac­ cordance with the wishes of Theodore Roosevelt, as expressed in a letter to the committee, marked the demise of the Progressive party. While the national executive com­ mittee was instructed to co-operate in the Hughes campaign it was admitted the full national committee never would have another meeting. «, The resolution as finally adopted after seven hours of debate was as follows: "Whereas, The statement ̂ Issued by this committee In January and the, platform adopted by,the Progressive national convention set forth that put­ ting aside all partisan considerations in view of existing world and national conditions we would work with any man or party who saw the nation's need and put forth a leader fit to meet it and "Whereas, We believe with Colonel Roosevelt that in nominating Charles 15. Hughes of New York the Republic­ an party has put forth such a leader, we indorse and concur in the recom­ mendation of Colonel Roosevelt that we support Mr. Hughes."

The opponents of the proposal to in­ dorse Hughes put up a stubborn fight. Leaders on this side were Matthew Hale of Massachusetts, who presided as vice-chairman of the committee In the absence of Victor Murdock, the chairman; Bainrldge Colby of New York, who held the proxy of the com­ mitteeman from Florida; John M. Par­ ker of Louisiana, who was nominated for vice-president by the Progressives three weeks ago, and Henry Cochems of Wisconsin. „ Mr. Garfield was the floor leader for •the Hughes forces. George W. Perkins of New York and Chester H. Rowellof California also urged the Indorsement of Hughes. Col. Theodore Roosevelt's message to the Progressive national committee was read at a meeting of that body here.
