The San Juan islander. [volume] (Friday Harbor, Wash.) 1898-1914, 1911-03-17

Douglas. AriZ., March 1S.-Eleven
federal soldiers dead. eleven wounded,
with the losses to the rebels unknown,
is the result of a battle just east Of
Aqua Prieta yesterday.
The opposing forces were 500 insur.
rectos under Gen. Jose De La Luce
Blanco, and a federal force Of 800 di.
rected by Col. Mora.
Americans See Fight.
The battle was spectacular and was
witnessed by several thousand Ameri.
cans, many of whom rushed close to
the battlefield while the firing was still
at its height. After the smoke had
cleared away, it was Americans In
automobiles who gave the first aid to
the wounded, hurrying them to Aqua
Prieta, where two American physi-
clans were in readiness to assist the
Mexican Army surgeons.
Rebels Taken Away.
If there were any rebels killed or
wounded they were taken back to the
mountains by their comrades.
After mystifying both the Mexican
officials and the Americans on the Dor
der for week, Blanco surprised all by
suddenly breaking out of the canyon
leading from Cenizes springs and at
lacking the federal force of 300 that
had been rushed into Aqua Prieta last
night on a special train under com
mand of Col. Mora. Except few
prisoners taken by the federals, the
rebels retreated in good order.
The battle lasted an hour, and it is
believed that the retreat that followed
was for the purpose of drawing the
federals into the canyon, where the
main body of Blanco's force was ready
for action. The federal troops, how
ever, after spirited pursuit, rallied
and returned to Aqua Prieta, refusing
to be entrapped.
Another Attack Expected.
Another attack is expected tonight.
Three hundred federal troops are be-
ing rushed from Cananea to the relief
of Aqua Prieta and should reach there
by daylight.
Both the Mexican authorities and
the Americans in Douglas knew early
yesterday that the rebel forces. were
only a few miles east of Douglas. The
mountains break into foothills about
four miles from Aqua Prieta, the
ground falling from these hills to-
ward the town in series of draws,
sparsely covered with light mesquite.
There are no rocks for protection.
Americans Are Eager.
The Americans began rush from
Douglas to the boundary by thousands,
mounting the housetops and watching
the rebel movement with field glasses.
Automobiles streamed from all di-
rections. Soon the entire country,
from the American custom house to
the outskirts of the city, was solid
phalanx of sightseers.
When it was seen that the rebels
were advancing on the town, the COM
missario of police in Aqua Prieta,
Laborio Vasquesa, telephoned to Capt.
Johnson, commander of the Third
United States cavalry troops, at Doug
las, and within fifteen minutes the
troops had galloped through the city
and had established a perfect patrol
along the line. The troopers went
coolly about their business of prevent
ing any one from crossing the interna-
tional line from either side.

You will notice, Mr.. Fan, in a pc

since the organization of the Three
Eye league, that this is the first sea-
son in which Rock Island has finished
smack on the bottom, and you will
further admit that 1t has been the

in the second division five times,
which is some record. Notice the fin

standing of Rock Island and other
teams.
ADVANCE DAVENPORT.
The one thing that the Islanders
did accomplish was to place Daven-
port at the head of the second divi-
sion, displacing Dubuque. With a
golden opportunity to jump up from
the bottom, four games were dropped
TO Waterloo when Waterloo cared not
for the result. Then the Islanders
turned in and defeated Dubuque in
three out of four games and made it
an easy matter for Davenport to over
come the lead of the falling Dubs
and climb another notch.
But Rock Island cannot expect TO
be on top Of the heap all of the time

The 100 Block baseball team won
from the Wolstencroft Brothers team
in a ragged game Sunday afternoon
