the remainder of the property pur-

BY United Press Leased Special Wire.
DOUGLAS, Arizona, April 15.-With
another battle at Aqua Prieta momen-
tarily expected, the insurgent garri-
son of that town, under command of
General Balasaria Garcia. was under
arms early today, after having spent
an anxious night. Fourteen hundred
Federal troops under Colonels Oieda,
Diaz and Barron are reported march
ing from Cananea to attack the insur-
gents.
The situation is extremely critical
principally because of the attitude
taken by Captain Julian Gaujot of
the First United States Cavalry, who
commands the troops stationed here.
Following Thursdays Aqua Prieta
battle, in which two Americans. on
American soil, were killed, and nine
wounded by stray bullets fred by the
combatants, Gaujot conferred with
the insurgent chieftains and instruc-
ted them not to conduct the impend-
ing battle so close to the interna-
tional border that the lives Of the per-
sons on the American side will be en-
dangered.
An American Warning.
Gauiot issued a warning that in the
event of a battle in which stray bull
let's crossed the border and struck
Americans, he would cross the border
with his cavalry and stop the fight
ing.
General Garcia promised that. so far
as the insurgents we're concerned they
would do everything in their power
to prevent the killing Of American
citizens and the damaging of property
in Douglas. When the Federals at
tack, they said. the insurgent force
will move out of Aqua Prieta and meei
them in the open country
Captain Gaujot is believed to be
acting under direct orders from Pres.
ident Taft.
Throughout the night RED" Lopez'e
original force of $50 men at Aqua
Prieta was being reinforced, and day,
light showed one thousand men undel

marching TO the relief of Agui
Prieta from the west under the per
sonal command Of Madame Talaman
tes, widow of Colonel Talamantes, al
insurgent officer, who. with his tw,
sons. was shot by orders Of Chiap'
when the Federals captured the tow
Of Sahauripa. AS soon as her husband
was executed, the woman contributed
S20,000 cash TO the revolutionar.
cause. and raised force to aveng
her husbands death. She and her tw'
daughters personally recruited thi
