Ell Paso, Tex, May 9.-Fighting
with desepration, the federal garri-
son of Juarez was still holding out
this afternoon at 1870 o'clock their
rifles and quick flrers splitting vic
iously from behind breastworks on
the roofs of the Church of Our Lady
OF Guadeloupe, the Juarez jail and
the adobe houses nearby.
1t is estimated semi-offlcially that
there are between 300 and 400 dead
and wounded on both sides.
The gambling rooms of Juarez are
filled with the wounded and the dead
lie unburied in the streets, while
over their bodies sing the bullets fired
in such fight as few Americans
thought would be ever seen in the
Madero rebellion.
Early this afternoon 400 rebel re-
inforcements arrived at Juarez. They
took the place Of Colonel Garibaldi's
force, which includes great many
Americans. 1t had been forced to
retire from the fighting line to re-
plenish Its exhausted stock of am
munition. Garlbaldi, when his
troops fell back, declared that only
one American, man named Kelly,
had been slain In his command
At 10:45 o'clock the fate of Juarez
was still undecided. Hundreds OF
rebels and swarmed into the city
and were storming the barricades and
trenches in the streets, behind which
the remnant Of the federals still
fought on with the desperation OF
despair
FederaIs Fight Wlckedly.
The federals still held the Jail,
the main customs house and the
cathedral, and from the top Of the
jail their guns poured shells along
the streets taken by the rebels and
into Cowboy park, which since early
morning had sheltered force of the
attackers.
There was a great exodus Of the
residents Of Juarez this morning
when 1t appeared that the city would
be wrecked by cannon fire. Throngs
of men, women and children rushed
to the international border, fleeing
for their lives to American territory.
They were allowed to come in with
out question, but neither rebels nor
federal soldiers were allowed to
cross, even the wounded being
turnd back by the American troops
on patrol.
Additional American troops which
arrived here this morning are close
ly guarding the river bank and fore
ing the people from the zone OF fire

SS2-990 with my Veto"
There Was Big Fight.
Early in the day the secret got out
that the mayor had decided to veto
the ordinance purchasing the water
plant. He was waited on by num-
ber of prominent business men but
all found that his mind was made up
and closed to argument. All efforts
to get the mayor into conference with
progressive and disinterested property
owners who have staked their for
tunes on the improvement of the
city-men who put their money into
the new Marion hotel, men who have
paved streets and built and maintain
beautiful homes-were unavailing.
His headquarters were in the back
room of the cigar store and all who
wanted to see him had to go there.
He was closely watched and later
was taken in charge by a promi-
nent attorney until he went home and
could not be seen again until the
council met Representative of
the water company were barred
from access to the mayor, who
had long conference with his man.
ayers at the Marion hotel barroom.
A few business men of the city then
asked the mayor to take the full 10
days as he said originally he would
when he approached them and asked
their help to get the council to pass
the ordinance. A communication
signed by the president of the BoaEd
of Trade and the Busines Mems
League was sent to him asking that
he defer action until the business
men and property owners of the city
could have chance to express
themselves. But with eight votes in
the city council and almost unani-
nous sentiment among the business
men Of the city no hearing would be
granted.
What VIII BE Done Next.
The situation as it now stands is
complex. The charter has been
amended for public ownership and a
bond issue of 100000 authorized.
The bonds have been sold once and
there were eight bidders, the highest
offering a premium of $4,000. The
same firm stands ready to take the
bonds again. There is now no prop
osition before the city council to buy
the plant. The water board of four
men who were elected under the
Rogers administration will probably
resign. The reactionaries propose
to invoke the aid of the railroad com
mission under the public utilities act
to make the water company extend
it's mains and put in pure water
This idea is championed by Alder
man Lafky and Durbin and the
mayor. The water company has in
corporated in Arizona and will prob
ably take it's property off the mar
ket, as it has never been offered for
sale to anyone but the city, and pre-
pare for litigation.
