The Americans sought shelter
around the station house and in a
nearby house hosting a flag and call
ing out that they were Americans and
non -combatants, but the Mexican gar
rison in Aqua Prieta flanked these
positions and closing in, poured in Il
deadly fire on the Americans.
1t was at this point that A. r. Dick
son was shot. only the CALLING fire
with which the rebels raked the fed
erals at this locality killing many and
causing the others to flee, prevented
the shooting of many more Americans.
The station housa. which is American
property, was riddled by the Federal
bullets.
Francisco Isabel Iriarte, the Mexi-
can consul in Douglas, was called some
days ago to the office OF foreign rela-
tions in Mexico city and his success
sor, Jose Castro, formerly vice consul
lat Los Angeles, has arrived and taken
charge.
The Douglas Chamber of Commerce,
on behalf of the American citizens in
Douglas. teiegraphed today the follow
ing dispatch to President Taft:
During an engagement Yesterday
between the fedcrals and Insurrectos
in Aqua Prieta. Mexico, one mile from
Douglas, two Americans were killed
and II wounded. including some chill
dren, While attending to their business
here in DOuglas. Thousands of bullets
fell in our cit%, passing through resi-
dences and endangering life and prop
erty. Is there no way b. which Ameri-
cans can be protected in the peaceful
pursuit Of their affairs, expect more
fighting on the line at any time? Com
batants yesterday fought within 10 feet
of the American boundary"
The Federal force in Aqua Priota,
which defended the town yesterday
consisted of 104 men. When the rebel
train from NacoZari arrived at Cabul-
Iona where Red" Lopez left his horses
under guard he arrested the telegraph
operator and gave orders that the tele-
graph line should not be cut as he
wished to use it himself as to keep in
communication with his horses and
guards.
While under arrest the telegraph
operator unknowingly got his hand on
the key and flashed this message:
Rebels coming in on train
The federalS in Aqua Prieta thus had
20 minutes notice before the arrival
of the train and they opened fire on the
coaches before the rebels had got out
at the station.

DIX FAVORS RATIFICATION.
Governors Stand on Proposed Income
Tax Amendment.

Albany. n. Y. April H-Governor Dix
believes New Yorks Legislature should
ratfy the proposed income tav amend
ment to the federal constitution and pro-
poses to use his influence to bring about
the result speedily.
In a recent letter 70 the governor Mayor
Gaynor of New York expressed the belief
that the doubtful meaning of the clause
providing for taxation of incomes from
whatever source derived" would seriously
affect the market for state and munic-
ipal bonds and might necessitate an in
creased interest rate.
The governor replying to the mayor to-
night takes issue with him and declares
that, aside from his belief in the Justice
and economic soundness of a federal in
come tax. he is bound to carry out the
pledges of the Democratic platform adopt
ed at Rochester. which declared 'emphat-
ically and without equivocation for an in
