SEVENTEEN AMERICANS KILLED BY MEXICANS Bandits Capture Train and After Rob bing American Miners, Shoot Them. Cayranza Promises to 'unikh Guilty El Paso, Texas, Jan. 11.--Seventeen persons, all believed to have been Americans,. were killed by Mexican bandits yesterday after being taken from a Mexico Northfwestern train 50 miles west of Chihuahua City, robbed and stripped of their clothing, accord ing to a message received here to night by Hi. C. lyles, British vice consul here, from British Consul Scovell at Chihuahau City. The train on which the Americans were traveling from Chihuahua City to Cusihuiriachic, Chihuahua, carried thousands of dollars in currency and a large (quantity of supplies sent by the American Smelting and Refining company to its mines in Cusihuiria chic. It is believed here that all the IS American mining men known to have been in Chihuahua 'City were on board the looted train. Thomas 1. 1loimes, the only known survivor, stated. however, in his brief telegram giving the first news of the iald that he counted but 16 Ameri cans taken from the train. It is supposed the bandits belonged to the forces of Gen. Jose Rodriquez, a Villa supporter, known to be op erating in Chihuahua against the de facto government of Mexico. Almost. immediately after the first news was received a censorship was imposed on the wires between Juarez and Chihuahua City by the Carranza ofilcials. This action was taken, it was said, "until the story could be verified from otilcial Mexican sources.' According to the brief messages re ceived here the train bearing the Americans was stopped by the bandits about 50 miles west of fClihunhut' City. The mining men were taken from the train, robbed, stripped naked and lined up along the cars for cxc cution. Ilolmes was said to have been on the extreme end of the line and as the tiring squ1ad look position, h( broke away and fled into the desert With feet and holy cut and bleeding from stones and sharp cactus, lie rain until he no longer heard the whistlc of bullets pass him. lie succeeded ini reaching friendly Mexicans, it is re ported, and was aided to return tc Chihuahua City. The first news of the bandit raid was received here through a tele gram from lolmes to officials of th smelting company asking them tc notify' his wife that he had reached Chihuahua City. IHis message aroused anxiety con cerning the fate of the other mer known to have left Chihuahua Cit) for Cusihuiriachic, and before the censorship was imposed they suceced ed in getting into communication withi mining men in Chihuahua City whc furnished the brief details of the at tack. The Americans, it was said, had as surances of protection given the smelting company by the Carranza government through the Unaited States state departnment. The~ report of the killing of the employes is taken by mining men to mean that an alleged order issued by Glen. Villa upon his return froml Sonora and after hIs family had ar rived in Cuba, was to be obeyed This supposed order to "kill all IAmericans, loot and.burn"w had 'been reiterated by bands returning froir Sonora. It was this order that it believed to have resulted in the death recently of Peter Keane, bookkeeper of the Hparst interests near Madera, Chihuahua, at the hands of Villa bandits.
