BATTLE AT P?RRAL.
MAJ. TOMPKINS? OFFICIAL IlK
PORT OF ATTACK BY
MEXICANS.
I Carranza Troops Mntlo Attack on
Small Body of American CuvaJry
After Americans Had Been Cor?
dially ltcccivcd by Military and
Civil Authorities of the Town.
San Antonio, Texas, April 16.?It
was a force of Carranza's soldiers
who engaged ^he little detachment of
American cavalry at Parral Wednes?
day In a regularly organized action, ac?
cording to a detailed report written by
Muj. Frank Tompkins and forwarded
today to Gen. Funton by Gen. Pcrsh
ing.
Forty of the Mexican soldiers, in
c hiding one major and one civilian,
were killed by the retreating Ameri?
cans. The American casualties were
two killed and six wounded, including
Maj. Tompkins, whose wound was ie
scrlbcd as a slight wound In ihe
breast.
Maj. Tompkins reported that he wa?
tered Parral with his detachment
upon the invitation of an officer of
the Parral garrison who met the
United States troops about ten miles
from the town and that, after a cour?
teous reception by the civil and mili?
tary authorities, he was attacked first
by tho populace and later by the
troops, as he was proceeding to a
designated camping site outside the
town.
Maj. Tompkins' account of the ac?
tion served to clarify Gen. Pershlng's
report received yesterday In which the
Identity of the attacking force was
I not stated and which left the inference
I that the cavalry was under Col. W. C.
Brown.
The American advance forces ne w
are north and west of Parral, rein?
forced by a squadron of the Tenth
cavalry under Maj. Young, accompa?
nied by Col. Brown, and a picked
squadron under Maj. Robert L. Howzo.
Fear for their safety has been dis?
pelled by this report and by troop dis?
positions that Gen. Pershing has or?
dered out the character of which Gen.
Funston did not reveal.
Maj. Tompkins' account of the fight
indicates lack of control over tho
troops by the commanding officer of
the Parral garrison, Gen. Lozano, and
bitter antagonism by the public and
troops. The fighting took place out
sfde Parral and was continued over a
rtoets of eight miles to Santa Cms, a
sUdon uight. miles noAhcaat.
On. Funston ?hW roWM that
While Maj. Tompkins undoubtedly act?
ed In accordance with his Umi judg?
ment in retreating, he regretted that
the had not made a stand on account
of the ill-effect the story of his re?
treat may have on the Mexican peo?
ple who may regard tho Incident as a a
The report that the American
troops were unarmed apparently was
erroneous, Maj. Tompkins reporting
thai he arrived outside of Parral 111
the forenoon of April 12 with app.rox
American defeat.

imately 100 men of Troops M and K
of tho Thirteenth cavalry and march?
ed openly along the trail into the town
whore they were met by Gen. Lozano,
who received them graciously. The
civil authorities arrived and joined
in the courteous reception of the ma?
jor and his troops. Gen. Lozano and
the civil authorities discussed with
Maj. Thompkins the question of camp?
ing sites, he and the local official
deciding on one just outside the city
to which Maj. Thompkins was direct?
ed.
Maj. Thompkins was preparing to
move out to the designated camp
when soldiers and civilians began to
throw stones and shoot at the Ameri?
cans. Realizing that the action was
that of a mob of civilians and of sol- j
diers who had got beyond the control
of their officers, Maj. Tompkins made
no stand but retreated his men with?
out making resistance towards the city
limits. Shouting crowds followed
while stones and occasional shots foil
among the troops, but without doing
great damage. It was afternoon when
Tompkins led his men into a defen?
sive" position behind a railway em?
bankment outside the town. The
mob respected the advantageous po?
sition the Americans had taken but
within a brief time a force of 300
Mexican troops appeared on their
flank and began in military fashion a
formal attack.
Maj. Tompkins still was averse to
lighting in anything but a defensive
manner since every officer who has
entered Mexico with the punitive
force has had It impressed upon him
that every effort should be made to
avoid clashes with the troops of the
de facto government.
Also it was apparent that the Mex?
ican's superiority in numbers made a
retreat from the position behind the
embankment imperative.
A retreat was begun that was end?
ed only at /Santa Cruz. The Mexicans
pursued them almost the entire dis?
tance of the intervening eight miles,
the United States troops contenting
themselves With a rear guard action.
In the'TUnnJnff fight the Americans
:ared for their dead and wounded.
Maj. Tompkins' information that 41
Mexicans had been killed was from
one who passed over the trail from
Parral after the fight.
Maj. Tompkins and his two troops
leached Santa Cruz just before dark
i nd there met Col. Brown and Maj.
"!foung with a squadron of the Tenth,
l^ater in the night Maj. Howze arrived
with his! pfe'red rtqiiadron, makine th*?
iurcc t.iere about 500 men.
M?.^ Howze also had led his men
through a series'of minor* ad- cntures.
He had come from La Borga. in the
neighborhood of which he had been
in a few skirmishes with Villa's men.
lib reported the loss of one man kill?
ed, Private Kirby, of the Eleventh
cavalry and two other enlisted men,
Perroski and Clifton, of the same
regiment, wounded.
Maj. Howze also reported that he
had obtained information from an
apparently reliable source indicating
that Villa was In the mountains
southwest of La, Bor ja. It was at
La Borja where one of the uncon?
firmed reports from Mexican sources
say that Villa had been burled. No
official re*port concerning Villa's re?
ported death had been received at
Gen. Funston's headquarters to
n ight.
Con Beltran of the de facto gov?
ernment received from Consul Garcia
at El Paso the report that Villa's
body had been recovered and was
being taken to Cusihuirachlc for fur?
ther identification. It was expected
to arrive there today escorted by
troops of Gen. Cavazos and Col. Car?
los Carranza.
Gen. Pershing reported today to
Gen. Funston that a small band of
Mexicans, presumably Villa's men,
had attacked his supply train a short
distance north of Satevo Friday
night. One Mexican was killed.
Thore were no casualties on the
American side.
Consul Letchnor at Chihuahua re?
ported today that Col. Brown had re?
quested an aeroplane bo sent to Santa
Cruz for use in carrying a report of
an occurrence at Parral Thursday.
Officers here were inclined to believe,
however, that Col. Brown referred to
the incident of the day before.
