I days fighting may never be known
The federsls declined the assistance
of the Red Cross society today, stat
ing that the army would care for its
own wounded. During yesterdays
fighting the federals removed the kill
ed and wounded to the rear, and it is
understood that the dead were buried
Gu the field.
Several bodies of dead rebels were
seen on the streets of Aqua Prieta by
this morning.
At the bull ring there is evidence of
desperate fighting. The main towers
are literally shot into sleeves by fed
eraI machine gums
At the entrance to the first story
of the tower was a rivulet of drying
blood which had poured out through
the doorway. Wounded and dead had
been piled inside. Sitting against the
wall, heavily guarded and bound, was
American who had failed TO get
away.
''They are not going to shoot me,
are they!" he asked. He said his
name was Thomas Sullivan, from Con-
necticut, and said he had come to
Douglas from Bisbee; had crossed the
line yesterday and had been arrested
by the rebels, who robbed him of 500
and had driven him into the fighting
line.
REBELS HAVE NO AMMUNITION.
That the rebels evacuated Aqua Priet
because they had exhausted their am
munitiOn is apparent from the stories
by federals who entered the town.
Great piles of empty cartridge shells
were lying in the trenches. The fed
erals, amply supplied, kept UP their
firing until 3 o'clock THIS morning, for
the purpose, they say, OF provoking n
reply and exhausting the rebels supply
of cartridges.
As the rebels passed out of the city
to the westward, one or two called
across the line to the American troops:
1--WE are going into the mountains, and
will return when we get some cart
ridges
At 10 o'clock this morning the custom
house at Douglas reOpened.

FederaIs Show Bravery.
Just before night fell on the plain
yesterday, daring and brilliant bit of
work was shown by the federal forces
All afternoon the federal cavalry was
lnder fire from the rebel trenches to
he east of town. The main body of
he federal troops were to the rear of
l long grassy draw, opening lengthwise !

ind three men on each of the cavalry /

Americans Close Call.
One of the spectacular features of the |
ate afternoon was the passage of an
Imerican, David Crockett, of Naco,
through the federal and rebel fighting
ines. Crockett did not know that the
attic was in progress until he found
imself in the federal ranks. The fed
