BAIL DENIED in

JUDGE BORDWELL DlSALLOWS
APPLICATION TO FIX
AMOUNT

Los Angeles, May 9.-The applica-
ton of John j. Mcnamara for the fix
ing of bail, upon the charge of dyna-
hitting, was disallowed today by Su-
perior Judge Bordwell, without pre-
judice and with leave to renew it at
any time. The court asked for sug-
gestions as to the fixing of the bail
and Attorney Hartman answered
that the defendant had the right to
demand that the amount be named.
''The prosecution is Indifferent as
to the fixing of the BAIL" District At
torney Fredericks said. THE admis-
sion of bail is what we object to. The
fixing of bail applies to charges; the
admitting to bail to individuals II
the court makes any order, it might
as well be one permitting the defen-
dant to go on his own recognizance."
After some argument Judge Bord-
we'll disallowed the application, add
ing that he did so without prejudice
and that it could be renewed later.
Mcnamara was not in court.

Fight SHORT BUT SAVAGE
ANNIHILATIoh OF GOVERNMENT
TROOPS RESULTED FROM
THE ENGAGEMENT
TOWN PARTIALLY BURN Ed
VICTORIOUS RRiGANDs SET FIRE
TO BUILDINGS AND cATHo-
LIc CHURCH

San Diego, Calf, May 9.-Tia
Juana, Lower California, was captured
by the insurectos at o'clock this
morning, after a short but savage
fight. Many were killed and wounded
on both Sides United States troops
refuse to allow anyone to cross the
line. The rebels set fire to a number
of buildings in the town, the Catholic
church being among those burned.
The attack was a complete surprise
to the federal forces. Confident that
the thanking party of forty men sent
out of Tia Juana last night had forced
the rebels to retire, no guards were
posted and the town was asleep when
the assault came at daylight. The
flanking party was ambushed and all
but one or two killed or wounded. In
this engagement Sam Wood, elected
by the rebels to succeed Jack Mosby
IN command, was killed.
An irregular volley at close range
awakened the ygasenders of the town
this morning too late for them to gain
the trenches and resist the rush OF
the rebels. Part of the federals en-
tered the Catholic church, wooden
building. Others entered the adobe
customs house. The rest fled only te
be shot down as they ran. The Cath
olic church was set on fire after it
had been riddled with bullets. Those
who sought to escape by dashing
through the flames were shot as they
emerged from the burning building.
The American Red Cross has asked
for permission to go into the town
and care for the wounded. Two
Americans were killed while attempt
ing to escape. from Tia Juana. Wheth-
er they were members Of the rebel
band or residents of ia Juana was
not known.
About fifteen or twenty federals
from the adobe customs house made
rush on horseback for freedom at 8
O'Clock. Half of them reached the
school house, large wooden building
on the Mexican side of the line. They
were seen to drop from their horses
one by one under the rebel fire. Fir
ing in the town ceased at $50 o'clock
and rebel cheers could be heard.
It is now believed that there are
no federal soldiers, regular or volun-
teers, in the vicinity of Tia Juana

ONLY PARTIALLY INFORMED
DISPATCHES FROM MEXICO CITY
SHOW DETAILS ARE NOT
YET KNOWN
COMPLICATIONS ARE EXPECTED
KILLING OF AMERICANS ON NEU-
TRIAL SOIL MAY CAUSE
TROUBLE

Mexico City, May 9.-The govern
ment is being kept advised of the
progress of affairs on the border by
the Mexican consul at Ell Paso, but
the public, lacking details of the
events of yesterday and last night at
Juarez, is in the dark. President Diaz
and his cabinet this morning await
ed the result of conference be-
between a representative of General
Navarro, commanding the federal
troops at Juarez, and a representa-
tive of General Madero.
The government is unable to grasp
the exact situation between the op.
posing commanders but at the foreign
Office it was said that the administra.
tion was still disposed to listen to
reasonable representations from Ma
dero. Official dispatches state that
last nights fighting was precipitated
by the act of three rebels, who fired
on the federal outposts, The message
adds that the casualties on the Amerf-
can side resulted from the rebel fire.
The insurbordination of Madero's
men has created distrust in the ef-
ficacy of peace pact should such re-
suit from the possible resumption of
negotiations. At the foreign Office
it is still regarded as probable that
Madero's counsel will prevail in the
end that further conferences will be
held.
1t is believed that todays develop
ments will show Madero has lost the
confidence of his army through his
failure to support the unauthorized
attack on Juarez yesterday. There is
a growing belief that the rebel leader
is losing his head. Sympathizers with
the revolution declare that they
would not be surprised if he were
and another leader named,
though they confess that it would be
a hard task to find a suitable sue
cessor.
New complications over the killing
of Americans on the border are ex-
pected, though Mr.. Wilson, the
American ambassador, had received
no instructions on the subject from
his government up to this morning.

PEOPLE MUST BE CAREFUL
URGES NECESSITY OF AMERICANS
KEEPING OUT OF ZONE
OF FIRE
MEXICO CITY IS UNINFORMED
EMBASSY AT WASHINGTON Is
SUES STATEMENT REGARD
ING TRANQUILITY

Washington, May 9.-The cabinet
devoted most of it's time to the Mexi-
can situation today News of the sit
uation at Juarez was admitted to be
alarming but the president and the
cabinet still hope for developments
which will bring about peace.
That the American commanders on
the border had become restless and
apprehensive and were desirous of
taking more radical steps to prevent
the killing of Americans on their own
soil, was indicated today by their ap-
plications for modified orders. But all
such requests have brought renewed
instructions to preserve strict neutral
ity; to keep the United States sol
dirs out of Mexico and to endeavor
to move United States civilians to
places of safety.
Use your best efforts to enforce
the neutrality laws and urge on the
people of El Paso the necessity of
keeping as Nmuch as possible out of
the zone of fire."
These instructions We're today sent
by General Leonard Wood, chief of
staff of the United States army, to
Colonel Steever, commanding the
American troops at Ell Paso.
A statement issued today by the
Mexican embassy declares that tran
guilty continues in the city of Mexico
and that great surprise is expressed
there at rumors to the contrary. The
statement in part says:
"All the ports, all the cities, all the
important towns and centers are
under the control of the government.
The rebels have only secured some
points of very secondary Importance.
In view of this fact it is well to eau
ton the public against any alarm that
might be caused by misstatements
which can only be attributed to NAL
ice or ignorance on the part of those |
that furnish such wild reports
One interesting bit of information
before the cabinet today was state
ment of the strength of the federal
and rebel forces in Mexico. The state
ment shows that there are 23,455 men
in the federal army and 23,425 men
in the insurrecto army. The statement
was compiled from official and unof
fetal sources. According to official |
made public by the White
House this afternoon, six Americans
were killed in the fighting at Ell Paso /
instead of five, two of these killed,
according to Colonel Steever being
on foreign ground.

betraying secrets told the grand jury
