Aqua Preta. Mex, March 23.-(via
Douglass Immediate danger OF an
attack upon Hermosillo seems to be
averted at the present by the defeat of
500 rebels yesterday at La Colorado,
a mining camp which they had taken
without trouble a few days ago. A
fierce battle lasted all day yesterday
and terminated in the retreat of the
rebels. The government report places
the number of rebel dead at thirty
six and the federal dead at eight
The rebels concentrated from the
south evidently planning a junction
with Juan Cabrals band, marching
from Carlo.
A federal force. commanded by
Luis Medino Barron, chief of the
rurales in Sonora. with four under
officers and $40 men, left Hermosillo
for the south to re-take the town,
which has a population of 5000,
many of whom are Americans.
La Colorado is thirty miles south
east of Hermosillo. The federals ar
rived in the morning. The country
about is flat and as the attack was
made in the open there was soon
spirited fighting all around the city
and later in the streets. After nine
hours of Fighting the rebels Withdrew
from the city, leaving it again in the
hands of the federals.
The federals secured many arms
and much ammunition, according to
the report. Barron, who led the at
tack, is considered to be an able
fighter. He has been active in va
qui campaigns. The rebel leader was
Jesus Rivera, very young man,
owner of the well known Dunranzllla
rancho, and a member of a wealthy
family of Hermosllo
Before the rebels took the town
they stopped a train and placed in a
mail pouch a letter addressed to
Presidente Roberto Bernal, demand
ing the surrender of the town. This
was done in order to avoid sending in
a courier, as the courier sent into
Arizpe demanding its surrender was
shot. When the rebels took the town
Bernal and other official fled, taking
refuge in Guaymas.
1t is reported from Guaymas that
the Southern Pacific has demanded
damages for all bridges destroyed in
Sonora and that If the damage claims
are not allowed by the government,
all trains from Nogales south to Te-
pie will be stopped.
Many bridges have been burned be-
tween Corral and San Bias in the
state of Sinaloa.

point was. designated by the Mexican
officials as the point of entry, not
