AMERICANS FIGHT GREASERS.
Row Over Raising National Flags Ends
in Tragedy.

Guavamas, Mex, Feb. 2S.-Wash-
ington's birthday a shooting ARRAY
occurred at Pilares De TERRA. IN
which three Americans and five Mex
leans were killed. From accounts it
appears that friendly feeling exist
.d at PiIares. and in order to do
honor to the United States it was ar
ranged on February - TO raise the
flags of the two republics together
on the flagstaff.
The Mexicans had charge OF the
affair and raised the American flag
above the Mexican to the complete
satisfaction OF the Americans. But
when the Americans showed so much
appreciation Of the act. the Mexicans
found they had made mistake and
decided to lower and re-hoist the flag,
with the Mexican flag on top. Then
the Americans declared that such
transaction would be an insult to the
United States flag.
Superintendent Danforth told the
Nexicans that they would have to
shoot him before they could haul
down the American flag. 1t was held
that the flags should have been hoist
ed properly in the first place. The
Nexicans were about to mob Dan
forth, when Charles Hogsett, who
was with the Rough Riders i'll Cuba,
interposed with II six-shoOter in each
hand. Firing from each side imme
diately ensued and Hogsett was in
stantly killed. John Evans and Dick
Rea, two other Americans, were NOR
tally wounded. But the Americans
held the flag pole and both flags
foated through the day. Five Mexi-
cans were killed and the dance which
was to have followed was a failure,
as no Mexicans attended, and there
we're less than half "a dozen Americans
in condition for dancing.
