BREAKING OF THE BATTLE.
From Morning Until Night 1t Ragged
Furiously.

Aqua Prieta, April 1.-THE most
important battle OF the Mexican rev
olution was fought here today be
tween 1900 federaIs under the COM
mand Of Lieutenant Colonel Diaz and
1000 rebels under Balasario Garcia,
and resulted in the repulse Of the
former. The battle, however. was not
finally decisive
II lasted from $50 a m. until sun
down. At nightfaH two federal ma
chine guns were in the possession OF
the enemy, and they had suffered a
loss estimated by the rebels as at
least 200 killed and, wounded. The
rebels gave their loss at 20.
When day broke it revealed the
federal forces formed in a fan shaped
battle line in the level country about
n mile from Aqua Prieta with their
machine guns in the center. They
gave notice of their purpose TO the
enemy with a hail Of bullets from
the machine guns, supported by their
musketry, their evident intention be
ing to gain the international border
line with its adobe guardhouses, and
from this vantage ground turn their
fire upon the rebels
The insurrectos went forth eagerly
to the fray. They directed their fire
at the crews manning the machine
guns. But the fire Of the federals
was so fierce that it forced them
back to their second line Of entrench-
ments. The federals advanced Slowly.
As they came nearer the fire of the
rebels they became more concentrated.
They scorned the protection Of their
breastworks and went out into the
open They kept up their concentra-
ton Of the attack upon the machine
guns After three hours of fighting
their defense was shown to be too
strong for the rebels to resist. The
latter began to retreat in the face
of the calling fire Presently the
machine guns were silenced. The
sharp shooters had made it impossi-
bic to longer man them. Sheer ex-
haustion occasionally forced a partial
rest of the contending forces.

tured three stragglers from the rebel
garrison, who crossed over into United
States territory Immediately east of
Douglas. They were minus their
guns and ammunition, but were held
up by the American soldiers.

at o'clock stating that Colonel Sib-
ley and Chief of Staff Nichols had
left FL Paso and would reach Douglas
on the morning train.
How have the American people
of Douglas acted under the situation ?''

"Splendidly," answered the colonel
"They are giving our patrols no
trouble whatever, but are obeying all

ADVENTURES OF DAVY cRocKET

One of the spectacular features of
the later afternoon was the passage
of an American. David Crockett of
Naco, through both the federal and
rebel fighting armies. Crockett did
mot know the battle was in progress
until he found himself in the ranks.
The federals took his horse and
saddle, turned him loose and he
came forward through the rebel
forces. The rebels hailed him and
then passed him through their lines
to the American border from which
point he reached Douglas.

CUSTOMS HOUSE BoMsARpEp.

More than half the city of Douglas
was under fire from the beginning
until the end of the battle. The
United States customs house was in
the direct range of the attack and the
United States soldiers near there had
to seek shelter for protection
When the battle began Colonel
William Skunk, commanding the
United States troops. rushed his
four troops of cavalry to the line
and took every possible precaution for
the safety OF the citizens of Douglas,
keeping them out of that portion of
the city which was considered to be
exposed to the bullets. This. however.
did not avail to save Americans from
injury, as the event proved.
Every indication points to a re-
sumption of fighting tomorrow. If
the federals should prove successful.
it means that the battle will be car
ried into the streets of Aqua Prieta,
with increasing menace to the citi-
zens Of Douglas.
The fifth nOn-combatant to be
wounded in Douglas was shot while
on Seventh street, in an American
residence district. far to the eastern
/ limits of the city and eight blocks
from the international line. Jesus
J Alacantra. a Mexican, was the vic
tim. He had his leg pierced by a
! Mauser bullet.
At the hospital more beds and sup
plies were needed and the city was
posted and notices inserted in the ex-
tras Of the Douglas newspapers call
/ ing upon Douglas people to supply
/ them from their homes. The re-
spOnse was immediate.

DOVER. Del. Aug. 4-United States
Senator George 10. Chamberlain. OF
Portland. Oregon, In his address TO
Kent countlans last evening. told OF
his own election BY a Republican Leg
islaturo. though a Democrat as a re-
suit Of the popular vote and the leg
islators' pledge TO sustain that direct
decision. He declared that only one
man showed signs OF weakening on
the proposition. even though the Re-
publican National Organization and the
administration itself cndeavorcd to
have the Republican Assembly select
Republican.
This was i'm support of the popular
election Of United States Senators. The
Senator was really discussing the In
itiative and Referendum and while the
Recall was on the program for dis
cussion, he did not touch upon that
subject concerning which many
friends and opponents, particularly tho
latter wanted ito hear
Mr.. Chamberlain declared that the
convention system of nominating
tickets and electors was un-Amorican.
and that 1t was never intended by tho
founders of this republic. but had
been thrust upon the people by bosses,
railroads and great corporations ana
privileges, because ~ convention may
be easily controlled and manipulated.
He declared that the people originally
nominated their officials directly ANA
that even i'm the time Of Washington
there were no political parties. but the
officials were selected by direct cx-
preston of all the voters at the ballot
box
he quoted Calhoun's warning
against conventions and the high
tribute he paid 10 the will OF the poo-
pie, when informed, as expressed al
the general and special elections.
Mr.. Chamberlain also quoted Honey
the great prosecutor Of the Wastern
coast. who said that the people of
Oregon had become the most onlight-
ened voters in America, not only be-
cause of the new responsibility of
law-making that had been given them
but because of the pains and expense
the State went to in order to educate
them.
