DOUGLAS, Ariz.. Nov. 29.-Rebels
under Madero have taken complete
control of all of the country between
Minaca and Guaynopita, including all
towns and rich valleys west of Pearson
on the Northwestern railroad, extend
ing to the boundary at Sapuaripa.
Guaynopita Is only sixty miles east of
Moctezuma, capital of Moctezuma, in
the mining district of Sonora, and
probably much of this territory also
is in the hands of the rebels.
Cities held by the rebels include
Guerrero, capital of the state of the
same name; Dedricko. Guanopa, Ypo-
mera, Temosachic, Matachio. Sato,
Tomas, San Isidro, Cocomorachic and
Sirupa. This whole district is noun
famous and timbered, containing rich
valleys, much grain and many cattle
and horses. The rebels are taking
horses and cattle as they need them.
The rebels are friendly to American
mining men, who report that they are
we'll equipped, carrying saddle bags
in which are jerked beef. roasted and
ground, and ground parched corn.
Both rebels and federal troops were
careful not to endanger women and
children in the Lerdo fight both sides
desisting firing in the streets when
they found women and children there.
The principal productive district
held by Madero is the rich Techlolch
valley, scene of the last general upris-
ing OF TechIolich Indians, where the
tribe was destroyed by Mexican troops.
Maderos troops in the vicinity of
Guerrero are commanded by Jose La
Luz Maria Blanco, formerly chief of
police of Santa Tomas. who carries a
gold handled sword taken from the
present chief of that city in a recent
fight.
GOLD SHIPMENTS CUT OFF
The country includes the Greene Gold
company's concessions, and it is re-
ported that Dolores also is in the
hands of the rebels. This big gold and
silver mine is owned by the Dolores
Mines company, an English concern,
and produces heavily. The bullion is
transported over the mountains to the
Chihuahua railroad, and now has cut
off shipments.
Two detachments of federal troops
which passed south of Douglas several
days ago, travelling just south of the
international boundary line, have ar
rived at Casas Grande and are ex-
pected at Chihuahua tonight.
An account from Puebla which ar
rived here today, giving details of the
fight there, denies that Madero sur
rendered, but it states that forty were
killed in one house. The last man to
be killed, Aquiles Serbian, the leader,
was shot as he crawled out of tunnel.
His sister and other relatives are in
Jail. No trains, passenger or freight,
have been running from Pearson on
the Northwestern railroad for seven
days Enginemen and crews refused
to go into the rebel country.
Young Mexicans in Guaymas have
organized a boycott and circulated the
following statement:
do not buy any article made by
Americans or which serves Ameri-
cans; do not employ Americans. Con-
slider as Americans those houses of
commerce which have an English title,
even though the proprietors be Mexi-
cans"
This sentiment is not general, being
the work of young patriots only
A sharp s5irmish lasting three hours
occurred yesterday between govern
1nent troops under General Navarro
and 300 insurrectos at the very gates
of chihuahua. The insurgents are
known to have lost seven killed. their
bodies having been brought to Chihua-
hua today and laid out at police head
quarters as an object lesson to dis
turbers of the peace. The government
loss was one dead and six wounded, it
IS reported. The revolutionists re-
moved their wounded.
While the insurrectionists rctreated
they gained their object, which was
to prevent the government from re-
gaining control Of the Mexico & North
western railroad. Since the attack on
q train a week ago not a train has run
over the line,
General Navarro returned to Chihua-
hua with his force TO await reinforce
ments 1t is reported that the insur-
rectos have been reinforced by bands
from Parral and that they number
about 1000 They are said to have
fortified number of positions along
the line With this condition con-
fronting him there is nothing for Gen.
Navarro to do until his little army of
400 has been at least redoubled. 1t is
understood that reinforcements have
been ordered to proceed from the city
of Mexico.
