REBELS RETAIN
C|TYAF TER AN ALL
DAY BATTLE

DOUGLAS, Ariz., April 17.-After
an all day battle, the most terrific
conflict that has thus far marked the
Mexican revolution, victory tonight
crowns the arms of the l 200 REBELS
defending the border town of Augua
Prieta.
The desperate efforts of the 1000
Mexican national troops under Lieut..
Col. Diaz to retake the city has fail
ed and the Federals have suffered
heavy losses in killed and wounded.
AS far as Douglas was concerned,
President Taft's demand that hostili-
ties be conducted in zone insuring
safety to the Americans was utterly
disregarded.
Throughout the long days battle
bullets rained necessarily in the street
and riddled the houses of the little
Arizona town, and at this writing
half a dozen residents have suffered
missiles Instead of fighting the bat
tie in the dessert, as they proposed,
the rebels entrenched in and around
Augua Prieta in such fashion as to
make hopeless Douglass immunity
from bullets, and the Federal army,
instead of attacking from the east
or west, as had been promised, advanc
ed from the southwest, which placed
Douglas much in the same situation as
the background of a target.
