AT nine o'clock tonight the iirlng
was resumed but internationally. In
surrectos were said to be fighting in
/ Juare2.
El Paso, Tex, May S.-lnsubordin-
alton In the ranks Of General Madero' S
army and a lust for the fight which
| concessions of the federal govern
ment had apparently deprived them
/ caused the fierce attack of Juare2
which eliminated tonight in care
| full retreat under cover OF darkness
after a day of continuous skirmishing
The 150 rebels who, early today OPEN
ed fire on the foderals not only cap
tured some Of the important outposts
| but carried the fight into Juarcz
Failing of re-inforcements they re-
tired. The casualties of the insurrec-
! tos and federals are not known to-
night, but five people on the Amerl-
can side OF the line were killed and at
least twelve wounded.
Thousands Of people in El PasC
dotted roof tops or lined the river
banks in direct line Of the fire. Col
| Stever Of the Fourth United States
| Cavalry protested TO both armies
against the fire into American terri
tory and II lessened considerably there
after. Nearly 1000 American troops
were amassed on the border keeping
crowds back and ready to respond to
orders from Washington.
General Francis Madero, Jr., is a
sad and n-heartened man. His
efforts to prevent general attack
were successful but only after he had
/ been bombarded by conflicting stories
as to the actual cause Of the conflict
General Madero tonight thinks re-
marks attributed to Colonel Tam
bourel OF the federal garrison in Jua-
rez, tauntlng the insurrectos incensed
them. General Madero in a state
ment issued tonight regrets the oc-
curence. The fight lasted until dark
ness and furnished many thrilling
| spectacle as well as continuous terror
! for many Americans living along the
river bank. About a dozen insur-
rectos were seen TO emerge towards
the federal outposts firing repeatedly
at a squad of federals I'm an adobe
house. The version of the affair given
at the Madero headquarters tonight
is that tho federals began the en-
gagement at any rate the federals
soon left their adobe strongholds
pursued.
AT the head of the insurrecto band
was a Canadian, w. IL. Mckenzie,
who's pink shirt was plainly visible
as he pressed close to Juarez. At his
first two shots, two federals toppled
over. Soon the federals abandoned
their trenches and the rebels fired in
termittently a few hours without ad-
VanCing. At last about 5 o'clock In
the afternoon the federals brought
their artillely into action and heavy
cannonading began. The federals
gauged their fire well and not only
shot shrapnel into the insurrecto ad-
vance guard but fired into the outlying
forces Of the insurrecto camp near
Peace Grove, where the peace COM
missioners were to have met today.
The insurrectos, however, took ad-
vantage of the river bank using it for
protection as the federals had been
ordered not to shoot into El Paso.
Carrying the hghtlng into Juarez
the rebels entered the town and for
four hours kept up continuous fire.
Insurrecto reinforcements reached
the bridge later in the after
noon but did not fire. They withdrew
at night under orders from their
chief. Not q few Americans were
among those who entered Juarez The
first person killed on the American
side of the line was Antonio Garcia,
who was standing by the side Of an
Associated Press correspondent.
About 200 yards from the advancing
insurrectos across the river, a woman,
sitting on the porch several blocks
within the city, received a bullet in
her wrist and another in her abdo-
men. About s o'clock tonight two
unknown Americans were killed. The
name Of one is supposed to be Camp
and his home said to be in Nebraska,
while the other had on his person a
memorandum, "R. II, Ferguson.
Troop T, Third Cavalry, San Francis
CO." The names Of the others killed
have not been learned
There is occasional firing tonight
into Juarez, but General Navarro IS
in complete command In the insur-
recto camp today confusion reigned.
Orders were given for a general at
tack but they were countermanded.
II was argued by some OF the chiefs
that since a small detachment had
made such progress It was the duty Of
the remainder OF the army to REIN
force them. General Madero walv-
cred In his decision, but finally decd-
ed to stand by his promise of last
night not to attack the city
