Fight Fierce Battle.

Douglas, Ariz., April 1S.-The long expected attack by the Mexican fed. eral troops on Agua Prieta opened in deadly earnest, and confined three hours. when the federal force was drawn back Tho firing was fast and furious on both sides. The rattle Of musketry was continuous.
 The hail of bullets from the fed eral machines fell far within the con fines of the city of Douglas It was evident from the outset that the eat tie was to be a decisive one. Both sides exhibited despe ate courage.
 Rebels Lay in trenches.
 The federals began by massing themselves to the southeast of the town and moved slowly within difle range of the rebel position
 The insurrectos, facing in three di rections, lay low in the trenches or fiat on the open ground. The federals fire raked over them and into both Agua Prieta and Douglas.
 From the tops of houses in Doug las an excellent view of the flat bat tlefeld is obtained. The city of Doug las runs right down to the Mexican border and while the large portion of the Mexican town of Agua Prieta lies half a mile from the line, it's struggling houses almost join those on the American side.
 It was evident from the heavy firing that the casualties on both sides were destined to be very heavy.
 Bullets Hit U. s. Buildings.
 The steel and leaden missiles from the federal guns carried far over the international line and plowed their way into the buildings facing along Second and Third streets, and dug lp the ground here and there over the whole southern end of the city.
 Most of the residents of Douglas re- mained within doors or sought other places of safety. Notwithstanding the strict orders of the American troops, many rushed to the international lines in order to get view of the fighting. They were exposed to the most immi- nent danger here.
 U S. Troops Exposed to Fire.
 With the firing of the first shot Colonel Skunk ordered out all the Amerloan cavalry available in Doug las. They were rushed quickly to the border and took up positions along the line. Many of these men were ex- posed to the fire of the Mexican troops. though there were no casual ties among them during the early part of the battle.
 Company c of the Arizona National Guard was also ordered out and took up a position at the armory to await further orders. There were four troops of cavalry and one of militia in Doug. las. This was considered an ample force to protect the American line.
