&C the federal skirmish line were seen
to fall. From some of the Americans
on the train it was learned that at
1880 a. m. this was the total casually
on the federal side and at the time
all non -combatants had left. When
about three miles distant it was no
ticed that the insurrectos were making
charges from all directions on the
federal position and the latter were
holding their own places behind the
embankments and replying vigorous
ly.
From men on the train occupied by
Rabago ii is learned that when the
train was stopped at 9:10 the soldiers
Immediately formed In line of battle
and at once began putting out a
heavy skirmish line ON either side OF
the train While others TOOK the ma
chine gun off the train and began
mounting it behind the engine and
many of them were killed and injured
by the derailment of the coach. The
injured were placed in the ditch on
the sides of the track and everything
possible done for their care.
Rabago has about $50 of his old
command and from 150 to 200 men OF
the Eighteenth battalion of infantry
which has been in battle practically
for the past ten days.
At 1880 o'clock this morning the
firing at the battle scene could be dis
tinctly heard at the Mexico North
western railroad shops at Juarez. also
the occasional discharge of q cannon
could be heard. Orosco is said to have
a mountain howitzer with him.
Rabago had about 800 men in the
trenches and a battle was kept up all
day, which resulted in very small
losses on either side.
Late this afternoon he escaped from
the position in which he had been
hemmed by the insurrectos and Is
slowly making his way tonight toward
Juarez, followed by the insurrectos
who are firing into his rear. Red
Cross train of four coaches went out
of Juarez late this afternoon FOR the
scene of battle. carrying physicians
nurses and medical supplies. 1t is re-
ported that General Navarro with o
large force is rapidly coming up from
Chihuahua and may reach Jurez to-
night.
Richard Brown, who Is assisting
doctors in the rebel camp, arrived
this morning with Colonel Chico, OF
the rebel army and reported that Col
onel Rabago with government forces
came up last night from Casas Gran
des. The Diaz supporters were met by
rebels and driven mack after short
skirmish.
The fight occurred near Bauche,
south of Juarez, close TO where the in
surgents camped yesterday. The reb-
els are now in the mountains nearer
Juarez than yesterday but do not ex-
pect to attack before tonight or Mon
day, they say.
Rabago escaped by tearing up one
of the box cars and building a skid
way to get the horses off the cattle
cars, which was done.
| The men Immediately arranged
their affairs and were lined up In open
file and retreated with their front 70
the insurrectos distance OF LOW
Yards eastward and on reaching tne
foothills began playing machine guns
on the insurrecto trenches and on 0

recto trenches. The federals appear
ed to number about 400 men. They
began to move TO the northwestwaro
in order and were seen occasionally
to face to the left and deliver volley'
toward the insurrecto's trenches.

Juarez tonight bringing In twenty
women and children picked up neal
Bauche and one woman very badly
wounded. They reported they could
not approach the battle ground be-
