FL Paso, Tex, Feb 6.-Fierce fight

wrecked train and insurrectionists.
Tie fede,als we're under Colonel
Robago and were en- route from Casas
Grandes to reinforce the garrison at

and his men close behind them.
Messengers Immediately left for Ell
Paso and do not know the extent OF
the losses on either side, but believe
they were heavy.
First reports were that the train
was able TO move south, but Colonel
Manuel Chico, of the insurrecto force.
says the engine was wrecked so that
it could not get back and al of Ro-
bagos command are prisoners.
Chico came to FL Paso with mes

Were Fresh For Fray.
Pascual Or0zco's command OF boot
ed and spurred insurrectos slept calm
IL through the night ten miles from
town and were fresh for the fray.
Orozco had declared positively that
he would attack not later than Sun
day, but first he would give his tired
men rest and sleep and prepare them
for the supreme test.
All night the tired, drowsy senti-
nels walked the narrow streets or
paced the adobe roofs of the ancient
church Of Guadalupe, the low. fiat
municipal building or the grotesque
little postoffice structure that half a
century ago housed Benito JcareZ
when he was rallying his men for the
fight against Macmillan in this very
same town. which OrozcO hopes to
make the capital of discretionary
Mexico in 1911.
Americans and foreigners were kept

Paso for protection, was quieter even

warned the foreigners to leave and
the mayor had ordered all places Of
business closed and even the natives
on the streets.
Soldiers marched from corner to
corner and secuted or gslloped from
one lookout point to another during
the night.
Every man sat with his life on his
lap or near at hand. Some peered
from the tallest buildings at the flick
