Bisbee daily review., 1911-03-15

many times their number that has to advance through the open It would appear to be a repetition of the Juazez fasco. where procastina- tion was responsible for failure 70 take the town. Undoubtedly still further endorsements will be hur- ried to the town. and it is more than probable that Blaneo and his forces will shortly be placed on the de fensive. While Lopez is reported to have stated that another attack was to be made last night. Blanco is said to have favored delay and told American visitors that he would probably wait day or two before attacking. 1t now seems unlikely that he will attack the border town and even should he do SC his chances for a successful stormiug of it are minimized. It is certain that all Is not perfect harmony at the rebei camp.
 Federals complimented.
 l Captain Johnson last evening paid l high tribute to the yalor of the federal forces. He declared that 1 they had entered on the fight with a rare bravery and energy. No troops could have entered on an attack more energedcaliy ana bravery than 0id the ie0eraIs yesterday morning. salG ne. Tne ngnuns wns the ferc- est that have read of, with perhaps the exception of Casas Grandes Good discipline was shown and they did all that could be expected oi them.,I expected to see an attack made from the south while the fed erals were out and feared for this as the bullets would have crossed the line and there might have beer casualties among the crowd tha were standing on the American side and could not be made to understand the danger Those who went over 1T automobiles were taking chances Why any one who does not have tC fight wants to take chances in get ting close to a battle l cannot see But I am glad to be able to compli ment the Mexican troops on theil yalor and energy"
 Douglas is Excited.
 Sunday, March 2, was a day O excitement and intense interest ii Douglas, for with it came the op lportunity to witness actual warfar, at close range. Hundreds thronge' the housetops and sought every ele vated vantage point to view tn fight. Hundreds more were gathere' along the international line, massini from the customs house on the wes to the easterly city limits and score in automobiles, in buggies and wag ons, on horseback and on foot fol lowed the soldiers and viewed tn, fighting at close range. many enter ing the danger zone.
 Many of these had more or les unpleasant experiences as a resul of their temerity, for they had nt right to expect courteous treatmen in foreign territory. and at a time o such excitement They took al chances when they crossed the lin' and went close to the field of bat tle It was not strange that the! were misunderstood in some in stances and that some of them mad, mistakes on their part Non-con battants are expected to keep out o the danger zone.
 It was about ten o'clock yesterda, morning when a rebel force was dis covered by watchers at Agua Priet: coming down out of the hills of t' the east of the town. Then came thu sounding of bugle calls and a hurry ing of troops and at 10:20 the ad vance from town began. A tele iphonic message was sent at once u Captain Johnson and he in turn sen d hurried call to the camp of Trool M, summoning his men to the lin and soon there was a galloping o cavalry in that direction and a pa trol line was quickly formed. Mean time the news of the expected figb spread to Douglas, going like wil' fire. There was a scurrying t tousetops, a rush in all directions fo automobiles and rigs of all descrip tions. while hundreds rushed to th' international line.
 No field of battle could have beeI better selected from the spectacul4 point of view While somewhat roll ing the country was sufficiently leve to give a splendid view to the on lockers, and occurring on Sunda! opportunity to view the fight wa given to more than the ordinar! number From every vantage poin it was viewed by the interested spec ltators, most of whom were seein' war for the first time and few O whom care to see any more of fl So the battle was viewed by excite' thousands while it lasted. and whei it ended the excitement continued
