Douglas Internationally
 The bull dog tenacity of General Navarro in his stubborn defense of Juarez was admirable. but the dash ing bravery and desperate determln- ation of the insurrectos who made the assault on the city was irresist- able. The federals were greatly out numbered and the insurrectos were the more active and were handled with consummate skill. The city of Juarez is in ruins; a good portion of it was burned on Wednesday night and the streets are lined with debris, walls are shot full of holes and doors and windows are smash ed" Thus spoke J. s. Douglas this morning on his arrival from El Paso where he went Tuesday night and where he witnessed the desperate ighting on Wednesday from an ad- .vantageous point on top Of one of
 he tall buildings.
 Yesterday morning Mir. Douglas
 nd Captain Greenway, after a great deal of trouble, succeeded in get ing permission to visit Juarez and View the scene of the desperate con lict which they had viewed the day efore. Mir. Douglas declared that the sight of the destruction that lad been accomplished was suffici- ient to impress one with a real idea Of the horrors or war. The whole town was in the greatest disorder, ne streets filtered with debris, the cead and wounded had not been
 .ared for and in several buildings great piles of dead were being gath cred from the streets.
 Mir. Douglas visited General Ma dero. along with the party that &C., lcompanied him, including Ben Seitz. | of the Fl Tigre company. The in-
 urrecto president of the republic was in his headquarters with his staff and seemed to fully realize the seriousness of the events of the last two days, but yet proud of the victory which had been won by his brave soldiers.
 Captain Greenway Talks.
 T witnessed the Juarez battle and can say that 1t will go down in his tory as one of the bloodiest conflicts of recent years. The insurrectos fought desperately and with deter mination- At no time did they for moment waver in their movement onward on the strongholds of Jua- rez,' said Captain Greenway, who passed through Douglas this morn
 ng en route home from Fl Paso, where he had been for two days. | Continuing, Captain Greenway said: : T saw one pile of dead in a room at Juarez yesterday morning which must have contained forty bodies. This spoke plainly of the | atal results of the fighting. Be- [ ides these l saw many other dead todies that had not been touched since they fell in battle. Colonel i ITambourel, who was so brave and confident before the battle started. was numbered among the dead. l | aW General Navarro, who held out as long as there was possible ichance to inflict damage on the oncoming enemy. He is a grizzled old warrior and made a most deter yielded only when ali hope for say ing it was gone.
 1 Killing Americans.
 ! Five Americans were killed in Fl Paso and many others wounded. This I consider as nothing less than a national disgrace. When a for | eigD bullet kills an American citizen on American soil, to my mind tha
 fact should be taken as a declara- ton of war on thls country and should be met accordingly.
 T am of the opinion that the or der from the City of Mexico for the abandonment Of all the border posts yesterday was the result of some vigorous representations from Wash. ton, where I see that on Wednesday the sentiment was strong and out spoken against further talk with the Mexican government in relation to
 stopping the killing of American citi.
 zens fin their own country"
 Bows and Arrows.
 Both Messrs. Douglas and Green
 way told of seeing Indians, belong ng to the insurrecto force, with bows and arrows which they had used il
 he battle. These Indians were bic husky warriors and attracted the at.
 ention of all who crossed into Jua.
 ez yesterday. The insurrecto force was featured by its cosmopolitan composition. There were Mexicans of every degree of life and social position, clad in every kind of cloth
 ng, all wearing the insurrecto badge on their hats; there were Ameri-
 ans, Italians, Englishmen and many other nations were represented in this army that is making a stub born fight against the continuance of the Diaz government in Mexico.
