WAR FEVER |S MUCH LESS
 ACUTE


 ing laTty which came up from there. lt Is now known that the band of in sUTTectos who were at Fronteras did not number more than fifty though it was reported that there were more in the vicinity. They were not seen by any one however.
 The train on the NacOzari railroad reached Douglas on time yesterday morning and went through to NacO- zari yesterday on regular schedule. The train was unable to reach |
 las on Monday because of the burn ing of a bridge by the insurrectos this side of Fronteras.
 !. s. Douglas of this city reached Fronteras Monday evening after the insurrectos had departed and was soon able to get a wire to Naco- zari. Imediately J. $. Williams, Jr., manager Of the Nacozari road. took a special engine and proceeded to FroEteras, and before yesterday morning had the burned bridge crib bed up so that the train could proS ceed to Douglas on time.
 Juan Cahral, q young man from Minas Prietas. was leading the in suTrectOs who went to Fronteras and not Red Lopez, as reported. The insurrectos did not molest anybody or anything at Fronteras, aside from the burning Of the railroad bridge. They secured some merchandise from one of the merchants for which a note was given by the leader. who made the merchant a present Of a fine revolver. The amount of goods purchased in this manner amounted TO less than one hundred dollars. Four of the insurrectos were killed as they came charging into the town, though they fired above the heads of those visible in the streets and ap- parently showed no disposition to harm any one. All the insUrrectos were shot by one man and all were hit in the head The insurrectos car ried away eleven federal soldiers, ali there were in Fronteras, and they were taken away, as were their arms, the insurrectos claiming that these soldiers had been impressed into the services of the Mexican gov ernment against their will
 The officials of the Nacozari rail road do not anticipate any further interference with their line, as there could be no motive on the part of the insurrectos. The crews on the lines are all Mexicans who have been sehooled in the train service and who could no doubt be induced to hold trains without the willfuI and useless destruction of railroad prop erty. At Nacozsri, 1t is said that there would be no danger of shut down of the mining enterprise there even if no trains were to arrive for several weeks. A good months sup ply of coal is OF hand. so that the operation Of the Nacozari plant could continue for a long time with an oc- casional train which would be possi- ble under the worst circumstances.
 Parties arriving in Douglas from Cauanea yesterday afternoon gave it as their opinion that the alarm and excitement at Naco last night was without real cause. At that town many Mexicans came over to the American side of the line because of the report that a band of insurrectos was near the town across the bor- der and were in preparation for an early attack on the place. Passen- gers who came yesterday from Cana nea to Naco heard nothing of any in surrectos and had there been any considerable force near Naco to the southeast they could have been seen from the train. Of course such q hand of insurrectos as that of Juan Cabral, not over seventy, counting the federal soldiers taken with them from Fronteras, could not long hold the port at Naco. as the government has railroad connection with that point from the west and could quick Iy bring troops from Hermosillo and Magdalena. At 12 o'clock today the International had communication with gentleman at Naco over the tele phone. He said that nothing was known there about any insurrectos except the rumors of yesterday. which had not been confirmed. He stated that the report that many Mexicans had come across the line was not true and that today there were no unusual conditions in either the Mexican town or the American town on this side of the line.
 Those who have the best informa- lion regarding conditions in Mexico give it as their opinion that there is no concert of action between the Me dero insurrectos operating in Chi huahua and the Cabral band south of Douglas. They are more than two hundred miles apart with the Sierra Madre mountains intervening; so that any communication between them would require many days. Ca bral is said to be intensely patriotic in his disposition regarded as almost fanadcally so by those who have seen him and some of his literature which has reached this city and at Fronterss he devoted his time to as suring the people of that town of his love for all Mexicans and his de- sire to better their condition.
 Pedro Lopez, one of the insurrectos who was killed at Fronteras, was not a brother of Red" Lopez. but be- Ionged to an entirely different fam fly. Red" Lopez. thereported com rnander of the insurrectos. is well known in this part of Arizona and has had many experiences with the local officers. He has several times been under arrest on various charges bu' has always managed to secure
