souri, Pacific Railway.

New York, April 10. = A long and
bitter controversy over the selection
of new president at a meeting of the
board of directors of the Missouri Pa
cifc ended in the election of B. F.
Bush, president of the Western Mary
land and Gould man, in the resigna-
ton of Paul NJ Warburg, of Kuhn,
Loeb & Co., and Cornelius Vanderbilt
from the directorate, and in seemingly
irreconcilable differences between the

American and foreign stockholders
represented by it and the Gould party

Votes against Mr. Bush were cast
by all the new members of the board
elected at the last annual meeting,
with whom George J. Gould had made
arrangements for the development or

to inquire into the conduct Of the de-
lean practice of intimidation of postal

MED the right to organize; if the num-
Der of postofIice inspectors has been
increased during the last sixteen

Aqua Prieta Shows Effect of
Raking Fire.
FIFTY BODIES LIE IN STREET
Buildings Are Perforated and Condi-
ton of People Is Pitiful--Fed-
erals Reported Bayoneting
Own Wounded.

Douglas, Ariz., April 19-When the
federals entered the city of Aqua
Prieta after it had been hastily de-
serted by the rebels, it was evident
from the appearance of things that
the raking fire they had poured into
the town had done more damage than
the ir surrectos had been willing to
admit
Fifty bodies were lying in the
streets, buildings were perforated and
many adobe residences were shelter
ing wounded non-combatants, includ-
ing several women and children. The
condition Of many people is pitiful.
The town is not all supplied with pro-
visions, but as the port has been re-
opened here it Will not be difficult to
supply them.
The Red Cross people attempted to
go across. but did not succeed.
Spectators on top Of the Douglas
city hall at 10 o'clock reported seeing
through field glasses federals going
over the battlefield where they at
tackled the trenches and bayoneting
their own wounded, who had been left
in the blazing sun all day and through
a night Of unusually low temperature,
It is said more likely that the federala
were burying the dead.
Colonel Renaldo Diaz, in command
of Aqua Prieta, placed a strong patrol
of Yaqui Indians along the interna-
tional line They have orders to per
nit no one to pass. The American
troops are patrolling this side and
have the same orders The line is eff
fectually blockaded.
The Arizona militia company held
under arms since Sunday was dis
missed More United States cavalry
has arrived and the force is now suf-
ficient to handle any situation. The
presidents message to Governor Sloan
cleared the atmosphere and leading
citizens approve the executives
course.
All night long rebel deserters strag-
gled into Douglas without arms, and
some gave themselves up to the
American soldiers General Garcia
was one of the first to surrender. With
the commander-in-chief gone the gar
rison became demoralized. Red"
Lopez. another commander, went to
Douglas, but did not surrender except
to liquor.
Later a band of rebels, supposed to
be Juan Cabrals, coming to reinforce
the insurrecto garrison that had dis
appeared, was sighted in the distance,
several miles out Federals outposts
fired on the insurrectos
