REBELS HAVE LUQUE
APPARENTLY CUT OFF
Dorantes Unable to Reach
Federals at Ojinaga With
ReinfOrcements

Preside, Texas. March 18.-Seven or
men have been killed in skirmishes
around Ojinaga- Sanchez has a posi-
ton which guards the river, and cuts
off communication with this side. At
fairs begin to look serious for the fed
erals A detachment of federals COM
manded by Capt. Dorantes is said to be
cut off from town.
Sanchez has 500 men with him. They
are said TO be well armed and have
plenty of ammunition. A ruse made by
Sanchez caused some lively firing Tues
day night 1t was rumored that the
federals had mines planted around the
custom house at the river. In order TO
test this theory, the besiegers ran some
loose horses in near the custom house
about u o'clock Tuesday night.
This drew some lively firing from the
.federals, but no harm was done to
either side No mines were exploded
and itfs thought to be only rumor put
out by federals that they. had resorted
to this method of defence.
A climax is expected soon. Sanchez
is confident of victory.
A number of casualties are reported
in the resumption of insurrecto opera
lions at Ojinaga-
While Col. Dorantes, second in COM
mand of the garrison. was on tour
of inspection he was cut off by a rush
Of insurrectos and now he and so SOL
diers are surrounded in a group of
houses more than a mile from the gar
rison. Likewise the insurrectos are said
to have surrounded this garrison.
The fighting is at close range, but
the fatalities are limited.
Seven federals We're killed and one
insurrecto fatally wounded.
Ojinaga has been cut off from sup
