FL Paso, May 9.-The fiercest
battle of the Mexican revolution
was fought at Juarez, across the
Rio Grande, today, without result.
Tonight the federals and rebels are
resting on their arms ready to re-
sumo the battle at daybreak. Five
persons have been killed on the
American side and fifteen wounded
since the fighting began yesterday.
The loss on the battlefield is esti-
mated at thirty to sixty dead, on
both sides, and 70 to 100 wounded.
Navarro stopped the fire at
O'Clock tonight while insurrectos
removed the wounded.
The battle ragged all day and
both sides fought fiercely. Rebels
claim the town tonight and while
they occupy more territory than the
federals. the latter's position is
practically impregnable.
The weakness of the insurrectos
Is due to the fact that they are
scattered, but they fear detach-
nent OF three hundred federals
with machine gun located some
where In the city.
This afternoon the rebels started
a big fire which is still shoulder
ing and the light of the FIRE gives
the rebels tonight view of the
church where the federals are in
stalled The cracking of rifles is
intermittent.
The insurrectos' artillery proved
Of little value and the greatest
damage by the rebels was with
dynamite. Orozco and Col. Villa
are in command OF the rebel forces
near the church. Col. Rlanco. with
300 men, has taken q position near
the foothills to meet flank move
nent. MAdero watched the battle
from a distance. Navarro has suf-
ficient ammunition to withstand a
similar attack by the rebels for a
week.

The lighting was in full view of

that between Preston and Gingles for

COTTON.
BY Associated Press.

Washington, May s.-In an order is
sued today the Interstate commerce
commission directs attention to the
law that no false entries be made upon
bills of lading and other railroad rec
ords. The order is based on the ir-
regularities in shipment Of cotton.
The commission held that possession
is by congresses, and not possession
by carriers. The practice of misleading
is not only a violation of the law, but
has been the occasion of frauds upon
purchasers.
The order provides that each bill of
lading be stamped to indicate the
nature and exchange with points of
origin, destination and time of ex-
change.

appointed at the last meeting Of the
board to suggest a suitable man for
general manager of the fair for this
year recommended n. ]. Lillard.
Mr.. Lillard, who is the well known
editor of the Pensacolian, is in every
way suited for this responsible posi-
tion, not only because of his wide ac-
Quaintance and universal popularity
among the business men of the city,
but also owing to the fact that he was
last year assistant to the general man
ager and filed that pos/ion in a
creditable manner during the absence
of the general manager.

the outstanding indebtedness of the
association reported that it had done
so with only one or two-exceptions and
that satisfactory arrangements had
been made for the settlement of these
claims and would attend to them.

the settlement of all debts against the
association.

cation with a number of real estate

members stated that they would ret
port at the next meeting and the com
mittee was continued until that time. I
Secretary ]. C. Watson rendered his
resignation and the matter was laid
over to take final action at the next

PROSPECTS BRIGHT.
The prospects for a successful fair
this year are exceedingly bright and
the members Of the association are
very enthusiastic. All of the board of
directors were present at the meeting
yesterday afternoon, with only one or
two exceptions, and they were all of
the opinion that the fair this year can
be made even more successful than the
one last year, provided the proper
amount of work is done and the right
interest manifested. and they agree to
put forth every effort within their
power to create general interest in the
work.
