OF Juarez, the bloodiest of tn
Mexican revolution, began with ;
general attack BY the insurrectos a.
4:3O o'clock this morning, followins
a night of desultory firing. The in
surrectos maneuvered like veterans
and almost before the federal garri-
son in iJuarez realized what YVES TAX
l-ss lrss place, had invaded the city.
According to General Madero, who
assumed active charge of his
troops when the fighting was at its
height, he gave his consent To q geh-
eral attack He declared the federals
FIST opened fire and his mea. who
we're reported as having revolted
against him, had pursued the feder-
ais Of their own accord and could not
relinquish their position. General Ma
dero said he made an effort to
arrange an armistice late last night,
but failed because of the progress the
attack had already made. All the
leaders he said had been acting sole
ly on his orders.
1t is certain General Navarro would
have consented to an armistice If the
rebels had evacuated Juarez, but the
rebel chieftain had by that time given
orders for a general attack, principal
ly to reinforce two hundred brave
insurrectos who had forced their way
into Juarez despite federal mines,
trenches and barricades.
Bullets poured into FL Paso all
night long and this morning when
the fighting became general, verit-
able hail of lead swept that portion
of the American city exposed to the
fire. American cavalrymen patrolled
the north bank of the Rio Grande
and were constantly under fire in do
ing so, but not trooper flinched, the
men displaying remarkable bravery.
All sightseers were kept three blocks
from the river.
The fighting at close quarters was
terrific and skirmishes at short
range were numerous, both rebels
and federals showing individual
bravery.
At 1870 o'clock 500 insurrectos
who had gotten inside the city, dash
ed up Commercio street, the main
thoroughfare. At this juncture part
of the federal garrison retreated to
the hilly section of Juarez due south
from the river front, where they put
up stubborn resistance.
DIR. Vasquez Gomez, who was left
in charge of General Madero's field
headquarters, announced at noon that
the revolutionists would take Juacez
within three hours. He stated at that
hour he had received assurances from
the front that the insurrectos occu.
pied most of the points of vantage
in the town.
At 1 O'Clock, couriers returning
from Juarez to the Madero field head
quarters, reported the insurrectos had
captured the big cuartel, while the
federals still held the big church and
the small cuartel. Some of the feder
ais at that hour were reported to be
retreating in the direction Of the
race track on the outskirts of the
city. The federals in the church were
keeping up an incessant fire.
The rebels were forced to abandon
firing their field pieces early in the

A terrific explosion near the church
at the head Of Commercio strset.
shortly after noon was believed to
have been a federal mine, though it
is more than likely it was a dynamite
bomb which the insurrectos were US
ing in an effort to dislodge the fed
erals.
Early this afternoon an Associated
Press CORRESPONDENT returned from
the heart of Juarez and reported that
the rebels were rapidly gaining pos
session of the city. The federals at
this hour we're still keeping up a Wig
orous fire from the church but from
no other point. According to the cor
respondent, the insurrectos seemed
to be withholding their fire and clos
ing in on the federal stronghold
Colonel Garibaldi gave orders at
1870 to the insurrectos under his
command to bring up the field artil-
lery and place it in position, prepara-
tory to shelling the church. Colonel
Garibaldi at this hour stated that of
the Americans in his command Only
one, man named Kelly, had been
killed, but that Captain Lindafelt, his
chief officer, was unhurt. A. Anderson
and w. Boughman of the American
were wounded. Many wounded, bu.
no dead were lying in the streets, the
correspondent said
The federals gathered in the
church and alongside big gas tank
apparently to make last stand. Tele
graph and telephone wires were cut
and fell across the streets. Mexicans
were in the front line of the insurrec-
to ranks, followed closely by the
American legion.
At 2 o'clock it was reported fifteen
Americans had been killed and that
the insurrecto loss at this hour was
in the neighborhood of $50 killed and
wounded. The federal loss was es-
timated at more than double this.
About 2:30 the rebels reported the
arrival of Colonel Villereal and Cap
tain Cassidy from Ojinaga with re-
Inducements and two field pieces At
this stage of the battle, rebel success
appeared dependent upon the ability
of the federals to use their.12 machine
guns.
The church where the federals have
taken refuge is being bombarded
constantly and is plainly showing the
effects of the rebel musketry.
Relatively little change in the posi-
tion of the two armies was apparent
at 2:45 o'clock, Sharp firing. however,
continues.
Colonel Steever of the Fourth Unit
ed States Cavalry, announced this
afternoon that he would permit the
transportation of wounded from Jua-
rez across the bridges to American
soil, provided the Mexican consul
