intrenchments. After q sharp engagement
they retired apparently in great disorder.
Seeing the foe in full retreat the governmentals
left the shelter OF their intreuchments deter
mined to crush tho Legalists. This was the
opportunity for which Hernandez and Gill
had been waiting. No sooner had the
governmentals got fairly onto the plains out
side the city than they were confronted by the
legalists reserves, which outnumbered the
forces in the field, and were soon holly engaged.
The governmentals realized they had made
mistake in daring . battle on the plains and
began to retseat Then the decisive blow
OF the battle was struck The
Legislative cavalry, which had been kept in re-
serve was thrown with tremendous force on the
already broken ranks OF the goverDmentals.
The retreat became rout, and the government
tails were swept practically out of existence as
an organized army. The victorious Legalisss
have entered Bolivar and Soiedad practically
without further opposition.

CITY OFFICIALS AT LOGGERHEADs.


Tacoma COuncilmen will Resign Be-
cause Their Orders Are Ignored.
TACOMA, Aug. 13.-[Special.] - Councilman
McGouldrick tonight presented his resignation
at a meeting OF the city council. 1t was tabled
for a week, and inthe meantime other members
of the council will discuss the advissbility of
resigning, claiming it is useless to endeavor to
enforce their orders in the several city depart
ments, especially of the board of pubic works.
Another grievance is that Aayor Huson stands
ready to veto any measure distasteful to him
personally.
twill be remembered that the council re-
fused to confirm the board of public works first
named by the mayor. Alter the selections had
finally been made friction resulted regarding
the authority of the board Last week the coun.
Gil adopted resolutions directing the board not
to send recommendations to it not signed by at
least two members of the board. The board to.
night virtually refused to do this, saying its
clerk was authorized to sign communications
for it. Five councilmen besides McCouldrick
have discussed the adyisability OF resigning.
