Military Honors to Be Paid Nine Men Who Lost Their Lives In Carrizal Engagement.
EL PASO, Tex., July 6.—The bodies of Captain Charles T. Boyd, Lieutenant Henry Adair and seven troopers of the Tenth cavalry, killed at Carrizal, were brought to El Paso early today. Only the bodies of two officers and Private DeWitt Rucker have been identified.
Eight of the Americans were exhumed from a single grace, the undertakers said. The dead had been gathered from the field of battle and cast into a ditch, which was then filled up. The bodies of Captain Boyd, Lieut. Adair and six troopers, stripped of their uniforms, were mixed indiscriminately in the dirt. The body of the ninth trooper was located two miles distant from the others. He had been wounded and apparently had dragged himself away to die in the gravel waste beyond the town.
In El Paso a few hundred persons, quiet and subdued, met the train carrying the bodies.

SHIPPING BILL NEAR VOTE. Democrats insist on Action Regardless of Time Required.
WASHING! ON, July 6.—The gov.ernment shipping bill probably will be pressed to a vote In the senate at this session even ifiit is nec^srary to keep congress here all summer. This was evident today following last night's Caucus of senate democrats. A majority of thfm insisted that action be taken on th* bill despite hints from the republicans that any move to that end would meet with opposition. The latter had proposed that if action be postponed until the next session they would agree to fix a date fop the vote.
Final decision of the democrats, however, was deferred unt'.l tomorrow night, whed they caucus again. Meantime the senate commerce, committee probably will amend the bill in order to satisfy several senate democrats.

sical examinations and as many more men as could be obtained. "We will aocept as many men as we can recruit," said Lieutenant Collins. "We have been ordered to aocept recruits of the first school, those over 16 years old."
According to an unofficial report received by Lieutenant Collins Thursday morning, the stato militia would entrain for the border either Thursday evening or Saturday morning.
Flags have been hung from the Chamber of Commerce windows and bulletins have been posted in the first floor windows of the Tribune building, while Corporal Bosshardt will be stationed at the entrance to the Tribune building for the information of those desiring to enlist.
Men Suffer Irinooulation.
Company will be in splendid shape when the time for departure arrives, according to Lieut. Collins. Wednesday the. men were innoculated with the second inaction of the anti-typhus vascine. In consequence three-fourths of the men were confined to their tents during the day, At retreat, the evening flag lowering ceremony, only 60 members of the company were able to stand in line and 11 of thesA fainted before the close of the ceremony and had to be carried to their tents. According to Lieut. Collins, the effects of the injection wear off in a day.
When the members of the company pass through Terre Haute on their way to the border, the ladies of the Needlework guild, under the direction of Mrs. Leonard S. Briggs, president, will serve lemonade and other, refreshments to the members and will present to the company through Captain Monninger, 600 postcards bearing a Terre Haute insignia. Each postcard will bear a stamp, donated by Secretary Clifford through the Chamber of Commerce.
The ladies of the Needlework guild do-not intend to confine themselves to the comfort of the local company alone but will serve refreshments to all other militia companies who go through Terre Haute on their way to the border.An ice cold drink after a long and hot ride on the train is calculated to make many a militiamen remember Terre Haute and its ladles.

NEWS FROM THE CAMP.
Object Lesson In Preparedness Found In Gen. Pershing's Command. FIELD HEADQUARTERS, COLONIA, DUBLAN, Chihuahua, June 29., (via army motor truck to Columbus, N. M, July 6.)—Compact, prepared and unostentatious is the American field headquarters camp in Mexico.
A walk through it showed no evidence of the hurry, the curt commands or military stiffness some times associated with an army ready for action. Instead, there was ease about men and animals, sprawling around camp with the comfort of perfect health, each man knowing his duties so well that half an hour's warning would be sufficient to empty the great camp and change it into an army on the march.
Long rows of shelter tents marked the camp of a cavalry command, just in from a 200-mile march. The tents stood- in three-inch dust, their tops only the height of a small child's head above the ground, their interiors ovens, because of the slight space between the hot sun above and the equally hot earth below. In them tired men were sleeping. Hard msucled and brown skinned, these men were prepared for any strain.
Beyond loomed refreshing bowers of green boughs, interiors dark and cool, where kitchens showed food prepared in cleanliness, a part of the contribution of preparedness for keeping the fighting men in trim.
In the heart of the camp rows of huge gray motor trucks were parked in geometrical designs. About them men crouched in the shade of the big bodies, their olive drab clothing stained beyond washing with road dust. On the steering wheels hung brilliant red, green and blue handkerchiefs, just washed and drying. Those were the headgear of the truck drivers who have learned that they cannot hop© of protecting more than their head and their mouths from the dust clouds.
Weapons Ready.
In the company streets a few jagged tins were scattered, in seeming disorder. They were temporary washing utensils, saved from what usually la junk. At the front of every soldier's tent lay an orderly array of ammunition belts, pistols and fighting paraphernalia. But they were not conspicuous because each pile, lay in almost the same position among the tent trappings. The machine gun batteries, and even the big field guns, might be passed without attracting attention, so exactly was each place.d and covered ,rfrom dust, in readiness for action.
Orderly lines marked the camp of the pack and wagon trains. Picket line after picket line of trained and tbughened mules was there, each the length of about one city block. The drivers were giving the animals the most careful attention, for they realized that frequently upon the training of such mules may depend the lives of soldiers in campaigns, especially here in Mexico, where supplies have been outrun by the fighting columns.
A pair of socks and a shirt-hanging on the wire fence, which enclosed the camp of the signal corps, perhaps formed the only discordant note. For, from the point of view of preparedness, the size of this soldier's wash indicated luxury. It meant the owner had an extra shirt which he was wearing. It meant he was carrying excess weight in contrast to others of the soldiers, who have carried no extra clothing for weeks. In this camp washing and bathing have been done simultaneously, the hot sun and winds drying' the clothing by the time the bather is ready to dress.
