MEXICAN RUITURM HAS COMIO .Civilians <'lnsli With Squad <?i mo I!. H. Soldiers nt Parral. Washington, April 13. Tho first loss of American lives in the Ameri can punitive expedition in Mexico oc curred in tho fl ri II? on the American troops at Parral. Official advices re ceived 'here to-day say that Mexican civilian? fired into the troops. killing one American and wounding another. The troops replied, killing many. Carranza troops did not lire on tho Americans, hut assisted In restoring order. The advices say that when tho American troops entered, the local commander recalled tho American assurances that they would not pass through towns. The firing started hy excited civilians followed. The situation quieted, but later another chisto between American troops and civilians occurred, in which liiere were many deaths on holli silk's. Dispatches Aro Meagre. Secretary Uakor and Secretary Lansing 'have received nothing on the Parral light except the Mexican dispatches, which the embassy for warded to the State Department, and a meagre dir patch from (?en. K?n sten telling ')f his report from Con sul Letcher that there had been "i rouble." The War and Stale Departments will make investigations of their own to determine the extent of the clash and the circumstances under which Hie troops entered thc town. In a' battle In' Carrai, between American troops and the civilian pop ulation last night, (?en. Carranza telegraphed his embassy here to-day. "many deaths" occurred on bot'h sides. Carranza troops aided the Americans in attompting to restore order, (?en. Carranza has appealed to the Culled States to recognize the dangers of arousing t he nat ivi s. Dispatch from Aguilar. News ol' nhe ?dash was contained in the following telegram from Quoro taro, dated yesterday, and sent by Foreign Minister Aguilar to Eliseo Arredondo, (?en. Carrnmsa's ambassa dor here: "Please confer with the Honorable Secretary Lansing and inform him that to-day at 1 p. m. a column ol' J 50 American soldiers entered the city of Parral. The mayor of the city, .lose do La Lu/. Herrera, imme diately called the attention ol' the commander of this column to the In con von lenee of his ordering Uh o city, Iiis soldiers hiMned-intely wit/hdlaw ing, but when they were leaving tho [Kiople protested and the mayor and military commanders tried to control thom with their appeals in order to prevent friction, but. owing lo the imprudence of a civilian who fired a shot a general disorder followed m Which one American soldier was kill ed and several civilians were wound ed by shots from American soldiers. "Military commandera succeeded in checking Ohe mob at Maturana to avoid then from following American troops, forming a cordon of constitu ?tionalist soldiers. "in this connection, the Mexican government warned tho government of the United States from the bog i li ming that, it would be unwise for American troops to pass through cities, due to the impossibility to avoid friction between thom and the people and our forces nt an unexpect ed moment. Tho American govern ment, to that effect, agreed to give the necessary instructions lo its troops to have them abstain from oc cupying any towns. The Mexican covernmein deplores the occurrence, but it was beyond its efforts to pre veiM it. anil insists with thc American government on the necessity of with drawing its troops from our soil in order not to give room for tibe altera tion of the good and cordial relations which b ?th countries ari' obliged to preserve." Carran/ji's Message. A dispatch from (?en. Carranza himself follows: "After message sent yon by Secre tary for Foreign Affairs Aguilar, the Secretary of War received a message from (len. du tier re/., dated Chihua hua, informing 'him that it had been impossible for military commanders to check the mob against American troops who entered Parral, and that Hus evening ( \pril 12) the fight had continued between our people and tIK-* American forties, and thal many deaths had occurred on both sides. "Cen. Obi egon has already given orders to prevent continual ion of bat tle, but the excitement is so groat among tho people that I fail to know whether the struggle can be stopped. "Call on tho Secretary of State and advise him that the occurrence is due to Ibo unwise action of t/he American commander in having entered Carrai wit'.lout tho permission of the author ities, violating the orders of that gov ernment forbidding the occupation of towns by American forces. "Please cause the Secretary of State to seo that it is unwise for American troops to remain any lon ger on our soil, as more serious inci dents than the present one. which we. must avoid at all cost, may develo)?. "Please make use of any arguments you may deem advisable to pit an end t ? the situation created by trtie presence o? American troops in our territory. I will keep on advising you through tho foreign office ol' any further Incidents." A later dispatch from American sources sent to-day sai'', tile fighting vas over. As Viewed in Washington. Washington, April 13.-(?en. Car ranza's note proposing withdrawal of American troops from Mexico was delivered to Secretary Lansing by Eliseo Arredondo, his ambassador, this afternoon. Late to-day Secretary Lansing said tho Carranza note gave evidence that there was some misunderstanding in .Mexico. Some of its statements as published did not agree with tho sec retary's recollection of tho prelimi nary negotiations. Ho said the Uni ted States recognized the tight of Mexico to ask withdrawal of the troo])8, but that the government con sidered that t'h? agreement under which they entered still was in force. Gen. Carranza'? proposal for tho 1)10X1 KS SINKING Tili: SUSSEX. vicitliuny, However, Admits Destruc tion of Other Vessels. Washington, April 12.-Admission by Germany that tier submarines re cently attacked titree mendiant ships carrying American citizens and that one of them torpedoed a vessel in the vicinity ol* the point where the chan nel steamer Sussex was damaged by an explosion, lias simplified the task of tho State I Jopar timen t In preparing for the next step of tho United States in tho issue over sn bunni ne wa rta re. After receipt in cabled press dis patches of the latest German note, tt became known that the Guiled States would continue to compile informa tion indicating that German subma rines are operating in violation of in ternational law, and that very soon a communication, designed to be tho lina! word of tho American govern ment Oil ?be subject, would KO to Lciiin. The State Department virtually has completed the collection of facts re lating to all attacks on merchant s'il 1 ps since the Lusitania. More evi dence in the case of the Sussex, for warded by the American embassy at London, is soon to arrive. It is un derstood that instructions to Ambas sador Gerard, accompanied by the tn formation gathered by the depart ment, will go forward soon there after. Officials made it clear to-night that whatever might be the form of the instructions to Ambassador Gerard, the purpose of the document to be handed tho German government would be to give notice that lhe Gui led Slates considers it as a great ar ray of evidence tending to prove that in spite of reiterated assurances and pledges given by Germany, peaceful merchant ?hips carrying American citizens, or which might have some aboard, continue to be the victims of illegal attacks. Officials said tho statements in the German note would be very carefully examined and compared with the evi dence already before the State De partment. In view ot' the admission that a German submarine was In thu vicinity when the Sussex was attack ed and the array of evidence indicat ing that ?he was torpedoed, little doubt is felt here as to responsibility for that disaster, despite the explana tion that a sketch made by the sub marine commander of a ship he tor pedoed did not correspond with the description of thc Sussex. No Disposition to Debate. Theie is no disposition on the part of President Wilson and Secretary Lansing to debate the submarine is sue with Germany. lt. is declared that the principles contended for by the Gaited States in a series of notes have been made very clear, and that Germany has been sufficiently warn ed that more attacks in violation of international law would bo consider ed deliberately unfriendly acts. The possibility of a break In diplo matic relations with Germany, coll ided with an exposition of the situa tion by the President and Congress, is constantly in tho back ground, but the President, was represented to night as being earnestly desirous; of avoiding such a stop if possible. The United States in its investiga tion of the cases of tho Sussex and Che four merchant ships about which Germany was asked-the English man, Manchester Kn gi nee r, Berwiud alo and Eagle Point - has been pro ceeding on the assumption that two elements remained to be proved be fore action could be taken. The first had to do with establishing that tile vessels actually were torpedoed; the second with thc legality or illegality of the attacks. Germany has admit ted sinking three of the ships, and e .'id?.nco in the possession of the State Department strongly indicates that in at least two of the cases the acts were in contravention of American rights.

Withdrawal of American troops from Mexico failed to bring from adminis tra ion a'.urces to-day any indication that the troops will be immediately withdrawn or that the situation is ex pected to result In any serious fric tion with the de facto government in Mexico. The development, not unexpected, was received In Congress with diver gent views, but a general undertone of can-Mon and leaving the situation in its present stage to the administra tion prevailed Administration ofllclals, however, mad?' no effort to conceal their feel ing that Carranza'? action might in crease the delicacy of the circum stances under which the pursuit of Villa has been conducted. Troops Will Remain, In official quarters lt was staled that the American troops will not be withdrawn, at this time at least, mid that while the question is being dis cussed with Gen. Carranza the pur suit of the Villa bandits will be pitched with renewed vigor. Secretary Baker, of the War De partment, said lie was unable to com ment inion Gen. Carranza's note be cause its raised questions of admin istration policy entirely within the jurisdiction of the President and the State Department. 1 AR BESTS II AVK BEEN MADE.
