dDOuL nunofeQ horses Whfch they had rounded up around Agua Prieta. it is supposed that these horses were abandoned because of many deser- tions had taken place in the rebel ranks during the hours from mid night till a. m. and there were not men to mount them.
 The federal army was sccomps- nied by only two women as far as known and these assisted in getrins breakfast in the bull ring The federal soldiers at 8 o'clock were enjoying a meal of jerky and tor tillas. which were baking at many fires. and coffee.
 Federals are slowly coming into the deserted and evacuated village in which nothing remains but adobe walls. There may be fighting today. but these people are so slow it..is hard to tell what the day may bring forth. Neither side gained vie tory but insurgents have gained sup plies and arms.
 Both machine guns are in the bull ding this morning and great store of ammunition. The bull ring is filtered with the relics or war this morning. Thousands of empty cart ridges are lying on the ground
 Federals in Good Condition
 The federal army appears to be ia good fighting form despite the hard campaign and continued march ing of the past three weeks. The re capture of the town by the federal government will result in the open ing of the port of Douglas which has been blockaded.
 Secretary r. Grfndell, of the Doug las Red Cross, wired to National Sec retary Nagel at Washington this morning the following: The insur- gents evacuated Agua Prieta during the night and the federals are in charge Red Cross assistance is not desired The nurses ordered here are not required.
 At s:30 o'clock Consul Dye and the customs officials went into con ference regarding the opening of the port of Douglas.
 Douglas citizens feel much relieved this morning for had the rebel gar rison remained at their guns and chosen to fight this morning ie was inevitable that with the near ing federal advance Douglas would have been under constant fire till the battle ended. The federal 2p- proach to the town, though iL en- dengered Douglas was brilliant mil itary work and was greatly assisted by the yaqui Indians.
 FedsraIs Prepared for Attack
 This approach was made as de scribed in yesterdays Associated Press dispatches, the federal cavalry carrying on the horses extra men which were rushed forward to the shelter of a ravine where the extra men dismounted, tie one rider ana horse returning to the rear for repetition of the tactics.
 In this way a large body of troops come under the shelter of knoll which protected them from the bull ring fire and were in posi- tlon to rush the town at dawn. Dur ing the night the federals continued to fire into the town
 It was evident late last night that there was disruption among the reb- els in Agua PTieta when Command ante Balazaria Garcia presented him self at the American custom house and surrendered to the army officers. But since he was not accompanied by a single rebel fighter, 1t ap- | peared that he himself only had wearied of the struggle or had fal- ! fen out with other officers so that Douglas people were much surprised to learn this morning that the rebels had pulled out of the town.
 NO DECISIVE VICTORY DOUGLAS, April 1S.-Last nights report that insurrectos had sur rendered was false. Fighting was kept up until o'clock. when h surrectos having held Agua Prieta l for 72 hours, secured quantities oe ammunition and supplies and with drew into the mountains six miles the west, sending a courier to federals to come there, and thus avoid the possibility of drawing United States troops, who are itch ' ing to cross the border and settle this savage warfare. from inter vening.
