BULLETS RAINED
IN FL PASO TEXAS
During Juarez Battle Five Americans :
Were Killed.
COL. STEEvER MADE PROTEST
col. sTEEvER MADE PROTEST
The Attack on Juarez Was Made
Without Orders From Madero
and Lasted all
Day.

Ell Paso, May 9.-The streets Of
Juarez are Uttered with the dead and
dying. Since early in the morning
when the insurgents began what Gen.
Madero terms IAN unauthorized as
sault," the battle has been raging.
To the north Of the Rio Grande
Five Americans are dead, slain by
bullets from across the international
line. Many other Americans are
wounded by stray bullets some In the
very business heart Of Ell Paso.
When the bullets began to fall like
hail in the streets Of Ell Paso, Col.
Steever, in command Of the Fourth
United States cavalry, sent couriers
to Generals Madero and Navarro bear.
ing this message:
SIN the name Of the president Of the
United States hereby protest against
men in your command handling their
arms in such a way that bullets fall
into United States territory as Is hap
pening."
But the bullets continued to fall and
Col. Steever wired to Washington for
instructions. t..
Before withdrawing the insurrectos
had captured all the customs houses,
the two bridges joining Juarez and Ell
Paso and the bull ring.
1t is believed by many that JuareE
would have been taken had 1t not
been for conflicting orders from Ma
dero. Early in the day Madero under
took to open negotiations with the
federals for an armistice. The negotia-
lions failed and Madero gave notice
that he purposed making general
attack at shutdown. Shortly after
ward he countermanded this order and
said there would be no attack.
Gems. Pasqual Orozco and Pancho
Villa, a reformed bandit, commanding
a section of Madero's army, disre-
garded Madero and made the attac4A.
Madero issued statement that he had
not been obeyed and was not re-
sponsible.

nERCEST Battle

Neither Side Can Yet Claim a
Victory

# FEAR Of Mines and Machine
Guns Hold Rebels
Back.

n Paso, May 10.--What was per
maps the iiercest battle Of the Mexi'
can revolution was fought at JuareS'
across the Rio Grande, but without re-
WuIt. Both federals and insurrectos
nre resting on their arms ready to re-
sume the fighting at daybreak.
AZ least Ave people have been kill
I'd on the American side OF the line
aince the diminishing began and about
1S wounded, while the loss on the bat
lie field is variously estimated at from
40 to so dead on both sides and about
Is to 100 wounded. Fifteen OF the
1nsurrecto wounded already have been
hrought to the American side, but
nnore are believed to be lying fal
within the town. Gen. Navarro agreed
% stop the firing while the insurrectc
wounded were being removed. the
aederals have adequate medical 10
clllties and are caring for their wound
I'd within the town.
The sun beat fercely on the battle
Maid and fire started BY the insur
wectos filed the streets with clouds OF
advocating smoke. The fire is still
wmoldering the, postofice and several
adjoining buildings being In ruins
The light Of the FIRE gives the rebels
IN occasional glimpse OF the cnurcn
where the federals are cooped up ana
Ahe cracking Of rifles is intermittent
"A dynamite bomb thrown by the In
uurrectos Is believed to have set nre
% the postoffice. But the flames did
mot drive any federals from cover.
All day long the battle ragged with
the insurrectos swarming through the
streets Of Juarez and meeting the
heavy Ere Of the federals with an
wOually vigorous vOlley Of musketry'
The rebels claim the town and
while It is true that they actually
~uutrol more territory, the position OF
me federal forces Is SO well fortl-
ned as to be almost impregnable'
The rebels have forced the fighting
IN the face Of the deadly fire Of the
federal machine guns. They dare not
wather in too great number for an at
hack on the federals because the ar
aillerymen Of Gen. Navarro many
aames demonstrated the accuracy OF
aheir range when they shelled adobe
a,ouses behind which insurrectos had
sought protection a half mile from
Juarez while skulking along the river
'front.'. Gen. Navarro is said to nave
mines under most Of the houses In
Juarez and when he gets word OF an
znsurrecto gathering, he is believed to
DE able to infiict a terrible slaughter
Uf them.
Many feats OF bravery on the part
a the insurrectos were plainly visible
nom the American side Of the line.
An actual view Of the fghting In the
streets Of Juarez showed the insur-
xectos as more than holding their
pwn in the open.
The town Of Juarez looks as II a
hurricane had struck 1t. Wires are
suspended from jagged I telephone
polea and the streets are filled with
plaster, adobe debris, window glass
ana awnings are punctured with holes
