Agua Prieta has been abandoned by the rebels. The Mexican federals are again in control of the town. Dfssensions among the leaders of the rebel forces is said to be the cause for the sudden anti-climax.

 terday's fighting. made this morning at 9:30 by Lieutenant Colonel Key naldo Diaz, who commanded the federal forces. which he says amounted to between 500 and 300 men. It is not likely that this es- umate would nearly cover casualties. Colonel Diaz. Major Barron and Prefecto Chiapas of Moctezuma all stated to the International reporter this morning that they were at a great disadvantage all day yesterday because of the positions occupied by the insurrectos making it nee essary for the federals to fire in the direction of Douglas. or not to fire at all.
 According to Colonel Diaz the fed erals captured the bull ring at o'clock last night and had driven out all the insurrectos at II o'clock.
 In the bull ring this morning was a great pile of arms, ammunition, saddles, flour. sacks of cigarettes and general merchandise which had been gathered from several buildings in Agua Prfeta where 1t was found after the fighting. From the schoo house a quantity of flour, meal, etc. was taken and here three dead rebels were found to have taker their last stand. They were also ear ried to the building this morning while the International reporter wal there. It was a ghastly sight The bodies were stin and showed tha many bullets had struck them; twC of these were said to be Ameri cans and one Mexican. Evidently ! party of Americans had taken thei position in the school house an' gave up their lives under the belle that surrender would not save them

 Douglas has taken on a rapid transformation. and Is resuming he- natural appearance up town. AlonS the line the aspect is different from what it has been of late. Tester day and last night the city was crowded, sleeping accommodations were at premium. Business was practically at a standstill, with ex cited groups all talking of the fight 1 ing that was going on, and large crowds about all the Red Cross hospitals.
 Today the hospitals are being closed and the crowds on the street less large, less frequent and less ami mated.
 | Douglas and the strangers within her gates rose early this morning, in anticipation of the resumption of fighting. By o'clock there were numbers out heading in the direction of the boundary, by 6 the streets were filled, but with the news that it was all of" the crowds largely melted away.
 Visitors departed on every train and by automobile. Soon the city became more normal
 A trip along the line and to the custom house at II o'clock was vast ly different from what it has been recently. It seemed strange to hear no bullets whistling and popping. IL was strangely qu.et. Across the line lit was different when the insurgents were there. They had not the sen tries posted, but the federals had close to the line and at frequent in tervals. On the American side the American patrols rode leisurely , along.
 At the customs house there was crowd of several hundred. From here other federals could be seer 1 coming in, some mounted and som' s on foot. The work of rounding ul l. horses was still in progress. c over at the American custom hous, e there were many signs of the ivell times there have been and 6 dozel s bullet holes could be counted wher, + the building had been hit. ] Over in Agua Prieta the fedora T. flag fioated from five points.

Trenches Abandoned.

At 4:45 this morning the bright moon was the only illumination over the field of yesterdays battle. A visit to the trenches just below the international line showed that they were still occupied. Insurrectos n trenches said nothing of a retreat
 At o'clock a second visit was paid to these trenches and then they were .unoccupied. A Mexican woman picked up three guns and ammu
 milton belts and turned them over to United States soldiers across the line. Other rifles and ammunition belts were lying in the trenches where they had been left when the men departed in haste and scattered

Rumors Conflicting.

Nh two of the insurrectos now in Douglas. and who participated in inc fight, tell the same stories of yes terday's fighting; just as none Of those who saw it from the American side. had the same conception of it. Inst SO. there are many conflicting theories of the causes that led up to inc evacuation of the town The host exclamation is that ammunition failed in some points along the line of hattie. Americans fighting on the left flank say they were told late last night that at the southerly front and right flank they were short. The east flank had plenty, as was shown this morning. and offered to suppl the other. It is very likely tha there were many short of ammunit ion, because of the fact that ther' were so many types of guns use that it was impossible to get ammu hilton for all. One order for amml hilton seen on this side Saturda called for six different varieties.

Monday afternoon about 1 o'clock there was another costly rain of bull lets over Douglas and three more were wounded, one seriously. At that time bullets ranged through two houses on Twelfth street and into the office of the water department. The total number of the wounded today was brought up to five non combatants.
 Frank Williams was standing with his wife and child in front of the Copper Queen store yesterday after. noon when he was struck in the back by a stray bullet from the fr ing across the line. He was hurried ly taken to the Red Cross hospital and given surgical attention. II was found that his wound was seTi ous. He is helper at the blacksmith shop at the Copper Queen reduction works and resides on Fiftee lti street.
 At the time Mir. Williams wal struck by the bullet James H. Eas

was standing beside him. Within a radius of block were hundreds of people, ali of whom feel the es- cape was Q narrow one for them.
 About the same time Mir. Williams was struck John Keith was wounded in leg while at work at the Douglas Lumber ca 5pany $ wound is not serious.
 The kno~n wouuued in Douglas are:
 FRANK WILLIAMS, shot in back.
 JACK HAMILTON. shot in breast; not serious.
 JESUS ALCANTARA. shot in foot; not serious.
 JOHN KEITH. shot through leg; not serious.
 ELPIDo ACRE, not serious.
 A few moments before Mir. Will Hams was wounded a bullet passed through a barn in the rear of the international newspaper of ice. The bullet passed on and en- tered the house. Almost immediately afterward another bullet passed through the home of Mrs. Dave Rob son at 639 Twelfth street
 Within a few minutes of this Q bullet entered the office of the WE ter department It crashed into q cement wall, where it was buried so deeply it was difficult to pry 1t out with a knife.
 Five insurrecto scouts appeared just west of the Nacnzsr. depot in Agua Prieta this afternoon at 7 o'clock Two of the scouts advanc Sd to within a block of the depot be- fore they discovered the federal sol diers in the vicinity, and before they were discovered by the soldiers As soon as the scouts were dis covered the federal troops opened fire on them, and the five scouts went like the wind on their horses spreading as they ran. Henry and Frank Elvy and A. r. Fegan oi the Texas company, were out toward: the copper Queen shelter looking fol souvenirs, and saw the scouts a: they were coming toward Agua Prie ta and declared that fully two hun dred shots were fired at the fieeinl scouts. It was a splendid exhibition of how many shots may be fired a a man without hitting him. 1 Reported Battle.
 This incident started the repor
 in Douglas that ano her battle haI
 started west of Agla Prieta, an
 that it was between the fedora
 scouts and the army of insurgent
 which had been expected to arriy under Captain Cabral. who has bee expected every day since last Fr day. Another report is that Cabra
 and Sonora Telementez have joine forces and win again attack Agu Prieta, but there are few who b. live that anything of the kind likely, and the opinion seems prevail that there will he no moI fighting in Agua Prieta, so long . the present federal force remain 8 there.
 The streets of Douglas are just 2 prolific of wild rumors today, aft' the big fight is over. as they wei J before the arrival of Colonel Care on Friday, when Agua Prieta VI taken from the federals.
