my TO OPEN WAR
Revolutionary Leader Said to Be Prepared to Attack Mexico If Break With TJ. S. Comes.
MEXICO CITY, June 24.—Reports that the republic of Guatemala, adjoining Mexico on the south, was preparing to declare war on Mexico if General Carranza began hostilities with the United States, caused a flurry of excitement today. The reports were denied by the official representatives of the Guatemalan government.
Dr. Toledo Lopez, revolutionary leader in Guatamala, announced that he would invade Mexico on the south with a well equipped army, attacking the rich state of Yucatan, simultaneous with an attack by American troops on the north. He declared that the whole Guatamalan army, numbering about 85,000, would join him in a march on Mexico City.
The Guatamalan representative assured the foreign office that Lopez has but a small following, and is in no position to commit the Guatamalan government to any course of action.
In spite of contrary reports, President Estrada Cabrera is not antagonistic to the government of Mexico, he said, and will demonstrate this fact in the event of war between Mexico and the United States.
Conferences between General Carranza and members of his cabinet regarding the American note continued today, but nothing was made public as to when the Mexican reply may be expected. Hope is expressed for a peaceful settlement, but there is no intimation of what General Carranza's reply will be.
It is said several great patriotic demonstrations will be held in the streets of the capital and before the national palace tomorrow.

ing the position, was killed at the irrigation ditch. Troop Disappears.
Troop continued to advance through the* town tinder command of Lieutenant Adair. This was the last seen of Troop by these men. Troop K was outflanked and withdrew a short distance, occupying an adobe house. Morey was wounded in the shoulder. This house was surrounded by Mexicans and was under fire for some time.
Secretary Baker supplemented his statement tonight by saying that nothing further had been learned of Troop or of the fate of Captain Morey, or anything regarding how the fight was precipitated or by whom.
Baker gave out the substance of the Pershing report after an extended conference with the president. He admitted there were portions that he and the president saw fit not to make public at this time.
WASHINGTON, June 24.—America's future action as to Mexico apparently hinged tonight on the release of the twenty-four American cavalrymen, survivors of the Carrizal ambuscade, held at Chihuahua City and the report of the fight that will be made by one of them. Formal diplomatic demand for their immediate release was served on Mexico today. The American government is particularly anxious to hear from them since private dispatches say one of the survivors was Lieutenant Hoge.
The administration announced today it was waiting for a definite report as to who started the Carrizal fighting from a commissioned officer. It feels it cannot take cognizance of the narratives already given by stragglers— privates who went to the rear to hold horses after the cavalrymen had dismounted to fight. So far Lieutenant Hoge is the only commissioned officer reported to have survived the encounter. His story, told without any censorship by Mexicans, "will probably decide the administration's attitude. It is therefor regarded of paramount importance that he be freed, if it is established in official dispatches that he is actually among those held in prison at Chihuahua City.
Figures on the Carrizal battle showedy84 men engaged, 40 still unaocounted for, 11 straggled now in Pershing's camp and 16 others found by the Eleventh cavalry searchers today +and seventeen known to be prisoners in Chihuahua City.
The fact that some of these stragglers, tir^d and worn, were located beyond the usual route back to camp, led to tho hope that still others will be found t'b have escaped the Mexican machine gun's flre. As fo^ policy on the situation it is this: President Wilson will do as he threatened—visit the "gravest consequencos" upon Carranza if the Mexicans were deliberately the aggressors. But his course will be different if the Americans exceeded their orders and caused the' trouble.
He will wait for word from one of the officers engaged or upon the accumulated testimony of all survivors before taking any step. The single diplomatic move today was a strong demand for release of the prisoners held at Chihuahua City.
The fate of the missing men was scarcely expected to be known from Gen. Pershing before tomorrow, though it was apparent that the Eleventh cavalry trailers ars rapidly picking up the loose ends. Two matters projected themselves in the general situation tonight. These were Gen. Carranza's plans to print his reply to the American note in Mexico City tomorrow— not receding from his previous position. Second, the reported threat of Gen. Trevirio to attack American forces after the manner of Gen. Gomez.
Meager news dispatches to the state department today showed Americans still fleeing from Mexico. The Carranza authorities promised to free Americans detained at Guadalajara and Guanajuto.

BORDER WANTS VENGEANCE.
Merits of Carrizal Incident Given Littie Consideration. EL PASO, Tex., June 24.—Along the border tonight the merits of the Carrizal incident did not "cut much ice." Mexican claims reiterating that Captain Boyd paid with his life for provoking the Carranxistaj.- to attack the eighty-four troopers of the Tenth cavalry were met by demands for vengeance.
According to the best available information the Carranzistas took seventeen prisoners, and five more are reported enroute to Chihuahua City. Twenty-three of twenty-seven survivors have reached the American lines at Dublan.
Authentic information received tonight again declared that most of the remainder who fled unmounted into the'sand hills were run down by the Mexican cavalry and killed. Not a commissioned officer is believed to have survived to tell the true story of the treachery charged against the 'Mexicans.
If General Pershing is awaiting the return of one of the commissioned officers before making his final report, it is feared he may find their dead bodies on the cactus decked plains, the prey of wolves and coyotes
Chihuahua City advices stated that Gen. Trevino threatened Gen. Pershing with another Carrizal, if reports of American movements southward from Namiquipa were true On the other hand, the Columbus camp received intimations that a retrograde movement was in progress from Namiquipa, further shortening the punitive expedition's lines.
Believing war inevitable, the border is preparing to handle its own Mexican r\foblem. Many towns are expected to follow the epcample of Bisbee, Ariz., whers business men raised $5,000 to buy ammunition through local dealers?, to supply 200 home guards.
Prisoners Jeered.
The treatment of the American prisoners in Chihuahua City was the subject of conflicting advices tonight. Mexican reports claimed the negro troopers were being well served in the grim Chihuahua penitentiary. Arrivals from the Chihuahua capital, however, declared the men were jeered when they were taken through the streets to a stockade. Carranzista officers- were charged by the passengers. with grossly insulting the American soldiers and giving their uniforms to. Carranza privatesT

Refugees brought word of the concentration of the de facto government troops behind the mountains on the Sonora line and less than sixty miles west of the American supply routes. The garrisons of Marelas, Fronteras and Montezuma and troops withdrawn from border towns are believed to' be included in the mobilization. About one-half are cavalry. The Carranzistas also have a number of artillery pieces.
A squad of twelve machine guns, mounted on motorcycles, was tested here today. Ttife aviation squad planned to send up one machine today, but propeller trouble again prevented. Urgent requests for aeroplanes for scouting purposes came from General Pershing. A twin-engine aeroplane now on the field her® belonging to the New Mexico militia was not permitted to be used. The war department will have .the machine inspected and if up to specifications^ it may be purchased.

the Big Four station was a continual demonstration. Thousands stood on the sidewalks along the streets through which the guardsmen, accompanied by the Terre Haute fraternal regiment, a platoon of police, civil war veterans and a band, school children waved flags and sang songs, and a wall of colors greeted all on every side.
The scenes at the station were pathetic. Weeping women scrambled over one another to reach the cars into which the guardsmen were hurried immediately upon reaching the station. It was estimated that fully 7,000 persons were on hand to roar a final godspeed and that 20,000 more lined the streets through jvhich the procession passed.
Herz Store Tribute.
A beautiful tribute to the militiamen who bade farewell to Terre Haute Saturday was paid them as they marched past the Herz store enroute to the Big Four station. A huge American flag unfurled over the heads of the marching men, showering them with small flags, nasturtiums and carnations. It was a complete surprise to the company, as well as the bystanders, and brought forth prolonged applause.
The unique event was planned and cax-ried out by Hershel Wheeler, assistant trimmer of the Herz store, and James Trimble, sign painter. The flowers were a gift from the Rosery.
Employes of the Western Union Telegraph company last night sent to the guardsmen the following message: "The employes of the Western Union Telegraph company at Terre Haute wish the boys of Company Godspeed. Our prayers go with them."
Th# cars bearing the local company were coupled to six others filled with companies A and of the First Indiana National Guards on their way from the south part of the state to Indianapolis and altogether a train of eight coaches and three baggage cars was formed at the Big Four station.
Lieutenant Paul Talbot and a squad cf men remained in the city to keep up the recruiting to, bring the company to war strength before the federal orders
