ND LAW ii DICTATE RECOGNITION BY J. 5. It Would Be Up to Taft to
 Decide Belligerency Question,
(Douglas Internationally

Since the taking of Agua Prieta by the reyoltosos, the first import ant port of entry which they have taken, there have frequently been heard statements that they need only hold a town a certain number of days or a certain number of hours for the United States to recognize them as beligerants. Information on the subject was asked from the h. ternadonal by a number, and finally legal advice on the subject was asked by this paper of two alter neys, Harry E. Pickett of Tomb stone and D. A. Richardson of the firm of Richardson & Doan. Neither find any provision that fixes a time of occupancy that would require this government to give such recog milton, no matter how long the town is occupied.
 This morning Harry E. Pickett and Judge Richardson consulted the l OnlLeQ CNdlGS uGulIdlltJ law oAN gave to the International the opinion that there was nothing in the stat Iutes relative to neutrality that could compel the United States to recog lnize beligerants It may be tha there has been some such agree ment among the nations under tho Hague tribunal. but of this neither of the lawyers kney.
 To recognize a state of beliger ency the United States must be sat fsned that there is an actual stat of war and the beligerants mus have a de facto government. l need not have a stable seat O government, however. The best es ample fsuch a case possibly beini the Confederate states during tn later part of the Civil war. S far as recognition goes 1t s prot ably up to the United States to ds termino when, if at all. we sha
 recognize the beligerency of the il
 surrectos. When such recognitio comes, if it does, then it will b

 rns first casualty to occur in Douglas was shortly after II o'clock this morning. and occurred at the corner of Railroad avenue and Sixth streets. Jack Hamilton was the vic. um- He was shot fin the breast. but fortunately the bullet was pretty well spent and the wound is not dangerous. He was taken into the Red Cross hospital and his wound dressed. The volunteer nurses vert to their work without delay. just as if 1t were an everyday occasion with them, and did not finch at the sight of blood or at the wound.
 This is the first case of the day where, an American on this side Of the line was actually hit but if the fighting gets close to Agua Prieta it is feared 1t will not be by any means the last. The federals appeai to care absolutely nothing for the American demands, and to be de teTmined to nght as they please.
 chispss In Town.
 At noon it was reported that Pre- feet Chiapas of Moctezuma was ir the city. G. G. Lelevier and an other said that they had seen hin and Lellevier went in search of United States officer to arrest him What reason there would be to make such an arrest seems hardly clear.
 F. |. Orloff is in an adoDe house tn Agua Prieta to view the fight At II o'clock q message was received from him telling of the progress be ing made. sHe stated that at thu time the chief fighting was occurrin; about a mile and a half from thu town on the Agua Prieta river. Th' main body of federals was not en { gagged there but was about fou miles south. This message als' gives some details of the dead. l states that there are twenty dea' revoltosos in the bull ring tha nave been brought in, and that iron what he has heard from soldier coming in from the front the federa dead will number 75. He did nc give any estimate of wounded, an did rot state whether any had bee brought into the town.
 Telling of the engagement thi morning he said that the federal approached to within 800 yards c the town and poured voiiey int the town. Many shots were fire before the revoltosos replied an vent out to meet the attackers. Tn town was practically riddled wit them. The attack was repulse after the machine gun wa put out of commission and the fet eral force retreated back upon th main body.

flank of the federal forces under Ojeda met the rebels to the south east of Agua Prieta and a sharp en- gagement followed. The federals had a machine gun which they used. but their fire was not accurate and three times it's fire was stopped by the ;nsurrecto sharp shooters. For more than an hour the firing was rapid and continuous. then for a time 1t practically ceased. IL was eyideat that the attack on the flank had been repulsed.
 Eearly in the engagement the fed cral forces fell back, but quickly rallied. and for a time advanced steadily. Then they again retreated in order.

Lopez Is Interviewed.

Shortly before O'CLOCK an h. ternational reporter went to the line at the custom house and there met Captain Arturo, Red" Lopez. He stated that he had just returned from the front and was feeling elated and confident. Lopez declared that not only had they silenced the fed erals machine gun. but had effectu- ally put them out of condition. We smashed them up and they are just so much old junk" said Lopez. Ask ed about casualties. he declared that the insurrectos had not suffered much but maintained that the federal loss had been very heavy. going as far as to say that half of the troops mad been wiped out
 While up in the city the sound of shooting could not be heard yet # was plainly heard at the line and the insurrectos could be plainly seen at the south.
 Asked where the main body of the federais were Lopez stated that they were in a draw just south Of the Agua Prieta bull ring.
 American soldiers who were patrolllng the line say that the early fighting was not at close range, and that the fire of the federals was ineffective They maintain that both side- wasted ammunition.

Federals Hold Fire.

To the southeast of the town the federals continued to advance slowly. They were scattered widely and came on singly, or by twos and threes. running forward and then dropping. They made no attempt to fire on the insurrectos, who did all the shooting. Every time a man would rise he became a mark for the insurecto sharp shooters in the trenches. Some. had approached to within three hundred yards of the American boundary, and were con unuing to the north
 Shortly before 10 o'clock a large detachment of federals were seen tc dash up to the east of the rebe trenches, drop and open fire. Soon clouds Of dust told of the rain ot bullets that was poured in on thel, from the trenches and other cloud! at the trenches told of the equally fierce fire they were receiving.
 it appeared that the federal tao ties was to send in a detachment, ahC when this was played out to retirt 1T and replace with another. Th' rebels remained strictly on the de feasive, making no effort to advance and appearing satisfied to do thei nghting under cover of trenches, th' advantage of position being thu with them.
 The federal attack was again ol the left flank of the insurrecto: where the first attack was mad when the engagement opened.
