Mexico City, Jnne 29. Minister of War Obregon today instructed General Trevino, the Mexican commander at Chihuahua, to inform Consul Garcia at 1 Paso that no impediment would be placed in the way of the American authorities if they desired to remove the bodies of the American troopers killed at Carrizal to American territory for burial. General Obregon informed General Trevino that the expense for must be borne by the the transfer of the bodies to the United States ' American government. i ' , , 4 yv . 51 '4 Survivors of n Moody battle with a vastly superior force; victims twice of mobs that stoned them; more than once gripped with the fear of twecutiou for their part in the Doyd expedition; and. lastly, objects of intercession by the President of the United States, they were brought to the JUmler from Chihuahua City on a special train today and turned over to Gen.

Gibson declared that he wa3 certain that after the Americans had tiit the field of the Carrizal battle the Mexicans went over it and killed several Americans who were wounded but still alive. Gibson's assertion wa corroborated by Privates Archie Jones and , . J.uther Alexander. Numerous others of the troopers claimed they had been robbed of money and valuables following their capture. The arrival of SpilUbury and the negro troops at the border today tiok rank in the annals of EI Paso and Juarez, with the recent visit of Generals Scott and Obregon. Thousands gathered in both cities to witness the event. In Juarez a big crowd at the Mexican Central railroad station viewed the disembarking of the prisoners from their special train with curiosity, but gave no outward evidence of enmity. Xow and then as they progressed from the station to the disinfecting plant, from that point to the comandan-ciand finally to the international bridge, there were scattering disapproving jeers. In the main, however, the Mexican populace acted with reserve. Once the crowd In Juarez acted with genuine good humor. That was when the troopers descended from the train. Stripped of their uniforms after the battle of Carrizal and with restoration only, partly made, the dusky soldiers were decked out In striking and motley garb. Their appearance brought forth a chorus of laughter. a. CHEERS ON AMERICAN SIDE "When the formalities of the transfer had been ended and the Americans marched off th'e international, bridge to 111 Paso, they were greeted by a vast roar of cheering from the thousand gathered there.

The crowd which greeted the train, consisting of an engine, tank, day coach and caboose, packed the station platform, lined the railroad tracks" to the town's main street and sat on the tops of empty box cars. Straw, sombreros cf huge size and bright shawls' showed that a large part came from the hill ranches. Hut even the townsfolk belonged to the laboring class. The crowd. In all, represented the class that has fought in the revolution. The prisoners were slow in getting out.

Applause repeatedly interrupted the address.

In addition 221 officers and 10,285 men were taken prisoner and heavy guns, machine guns and stores were lost.

On the central part of the Itussian front, in Volhynia, the violent battles around Ltntwka and in the region of Sokul continue unabated. Farther north the Germans have followed heavy bombardments of various positions with attacks, which Petrograd says Infantry were all repulsed. A Lutsk dispatch to the Times, dated Tuesday, describes the terrible fighting on the Russian front. "This town," says the correspondent, "is a veritable maelstrom. Along the entire front the contending armies are locked in fierce and ceaseless struggle.

High officials made it very clear, however, that the vital point at issue the future attitude of Mexican forces toward American troops in northern Mexico, engaged in guarding the border and pursuing bandits who raided American territory remains to be settled.
