4 NERVY PROCEEDING
 INSURRECTO DEMAND THE SURRENDER OF clUDAD
 JUAREZ.
There Was No Provisional Army on
 the Horizon.

Fl Paso. April 19.-A formal demand was made tonight upon General Juan Navarro for the surrender of Juarez to the insurrecto army of Francisco Ma dero within twenty-four hours. The demand reached General Navarro's headquarters while he was inspecting the Qualifications of the City's de- fense. This was confirmed ry Con gales Garza. secretary general for the insurrecto party. No reply has been received.
 Later it was learned that Consul Ed wards delivered the note at Navarro's s headquarters while the latter was on a tour of inspection.
 At S o'clock tonight General Ma varro said: T have received no notice asking me to surrender"
 He turned on his heel and walked away.
 But, general. the insurrecto secre- tary says the demand has been made" |" he was told
 'I have received no such notice" he replied and again walked away.
 Garza was still in his office tonight at S3O o'clock and said he did not think he would leave tonight for the field to see MaderO.
 Our men are anxious for a fight and I do not know if we can restrain them" he declared.

amounting to military intervention or an act of war. l think it quite like ly that out of the situation in Doug las and elsewhere along the border. may come some rule of international law to cover such cases and give ample protection 10 peaceful citizens in d neighboring country to that in which war is being waged.
 Il think President Tafts telegram clearly showed the critical situation we were in during the fight at Agua Prieta. We should all congratulate ourselves that the fight ended Monday night and was not resumed Tuesday for had it been renewed there would have been more casualties than on Monday. The casualties of Monday were not suffered by idle spectators or on-lookers of the fight but by peo- pie in various parts of Douglas who were not at the time even witnessing the affair
 While it seems to me a strong case can be made out against Mexico in justice it must be said the federal officers made an effort to conduct operations to minimize the number of casualties. I observed most of the fighting during the day at points where I could easily see the move ments of the federal troops and I know of instances where the federals refrained from firing towards Douglas, even under strong prOvocatiOn. Not withStanding this the casualties which occurred were due to federal bullets and to the fighting being so near the international line"

Death Disclosed Double Life
 of Michael Ahern HEAD OF TWO FAMILIES
A Son of Each Met at the Inquest When Mystery of the Dead Mans Life Was Made Known. For tune Involved.

Chicago. April 19.-Two men who met today at the inquest of Michael H. Ahren, a former real estate dealer of Creston, Iowa, each claiming to be a son of the dead man, learned that Ahren for fifty years had been the father of two large families, neither of which knew of the existence of the other. At the inquest each of the two men stepped forward and identified the body as that of his father and gazed in astonishment at the claims of the other. A series of questions and conversation between the men convinced them that each was right.
 Ahren, who was eighty-three years old. died suddenly at a hotel here yesterday. He frequently had been visited by a man sixty years old and once by a man of about forty years. From the story told by William Ahern the older man. who lives here, and by Matthew Ahren of CrestOn, Iowa, the fathers history was learned.
 William Ahern said his father had left a wife with four smaller chill dren in Ireland fifty years ago and had come to America. The younger man. taking up the story, said his wather had married in Galesburg, Ills. in 1865 and seven children had been born. All but one of whom are living in Illinois and Iowa. His mother. he said had been dead for nine years.
 The elder man told of coming to America with his mother after the four children had become of age and of finding the father in Chicago
 William Ahren applied for letters of administration to his fathers estate in the interest of himself and a brother John at present living in Seattle
 The aged first wife of the dead man is now in Chicago, according to her son but was too feeble to at tend the inquest.
 The dead man left property valued at several thousand dollars and the claims of the Chicago famiy may be contested by those in Iowa.

AMERICAN PRISONERS LOADED WITH LUIUR|ES
The Gifts of American Residents of
 Chihuahua.

Chihuahua. April 19.-Perhaps the most unique scene ever witnessed within a Mexican prison occurred this afternoon when Vice Consul Leonard distributed to the American prisoners in the penitentiary the supplies which had been contributed by American residents here. The leniency with which the government is treating the prisoners is sur prise to the officers. The men are not to be held incommunicado. but are to be allowed to have daily eX- ercise in the penitentiary patio.
 When Mir Leonard, with his arms loaded with supplies of clothing. food and tobacco. entered. the prisoners were taken out of their cells under guard The eagerness of the Ameri- cans to obtain clothing was intense. For weeks they had been garbed in rags. with their shoes worn out by the long march from Casas Grandes.
 Shoes, matches, combs and tooth brushes were the first choice when the roll was called. The sudden ap- pearance of so much luxury Occa- stoned much interest among the na- tive Mexican prisoners. who peered wistfully out of their cells, unable to share in the distribution. Each American was provided with a com
 plete suit of clothes. shoes and a bum dle containing soap and tobacco. They were also given a sum of money each The status of the Americans was formally fixed in the peniten tiary today as prisoners of war" Under this form they may be held "pending further deVelOpments"

 II BATTLE Force Of Mexican FGdordlS Leave Aqua Pfieta CADRAL OBJECT OF ATTACK
Frequently Captured 5or- der Town Itself Not Se-
 cure Against Another Assault. American Pre-
 cautions For Protection.

Agua Prieta. April 19-A detach- ment of 27S federals, 23S infantry and forty mounted men left Agua Prieta this afternoon. it is believed under orders to give battle to Juan CabraTs band which is reported to the south of Naco and preparing to attack that town. The federal column marched directly west, following the interna- tional line. closely.
 Fear of a renewal of insurgent ef- forts to capture Agua Prieta is prob ably responsible for the failure to send forward a larger force. That the rebels have not moved far from the town was indicated this morning, when a small band of them made their way through the federal lines, and set fire to the Nacozari railroad station, which was destroyed. together with three carloads of provisions mis- cellaneous supplies and machinery. In the skirmish which resulted from this bold raid, there were several killed, reported to be rebels.
 Colonel Diaz, commanding the fed eral garrison. has issued an order permitting the resumption of trade relations between this city and Doug las.

His eager ness to get into the fight was too great for his loyalty and he deserted, taking with him an army pistol, to fight with the rebels. Tied and rOped he was brought today before Amer jean Consul Dey of Nogales. together with Tim K Sullivan. an American from Bridgeport. Conn. the consul having requested to see them. The federals had kept Sullivan for several hours so tied with knotted ropes that he was unable to either lie down or stand up. Sullivan saw service with the Boers in Africa.

Decisive Battle Expected in Twenty.
 Hours.

Presidio, Tex, April 19.-A decisive battle for possession of Ojinaga, across the border from Presidio, is ex- pected within twenty-four hours. With the arrival today of 300 insurrectos under Antonio Villareal, bringing with them two 12-pound cannon and one machine gun, preparations began that indicate that rush on the federal gar rision is in prospect. Villarears forces include sixty-two Americans who are under the leadership of Death Valley Slim" The army of General Cruz Sanchez, the insurrecto commander now numbers about 900 men.
 The famous McFinnity gun, stolen from F. Paso, fired the first shot to- day, announcing the opening of the days activities against the city In- termittent firing has continued since the siege began month ago. The lines of the opposing forces are now with in pistol shot range.

CHIHUAHUA NOT HOPEFUL
Federals Engage in More Active
 Prosecution of the War

Chihuahua, April 19.-One thousand federal cavalry left here today for the relief of Ojinaga. They will proceed by train to Palomir, thence ninety miles overland to Ojinaga. The insurrecto activity in the north found most of the available federal troops here. Now there is a general out ward movement to meet the insur- rectos.
 Word from the interior of the par ticipation of Francisco l. Madero, the insurrecto leader, in the fight makes it less probable that he will change his movements to confer with his father on peace proposals. It is possible the father may be able to place himself in touch with the leader. Peace possibilities. as view ed here. are growing more remote.
 It developed today that the fourteen American prisoners on their last days march to Chihuahua had nothing to eat For thirty-siX hours they were without food as they marched on the hot desert through blinding sand storms This was due entirely to the exigencies of war and not to any neglect. The prisoners were in eX- cellent health and they arrived here in good spirits.
 United States Consul Letcher inter viewed the men individually and saw that they obtained all necessary sup plies. The first things the prisoners asked for were soap, matches and tobacco. Owing to the excellent climate here, the prisoners have plenty of air and light in their cells.
