REBELS WILL TRY TO TAKE AGUA PRlETA AND HOLD IT
 AS PORT OF ENTRY.
MORE AMMUNITION SUPPLIED
Walter Douglas Reports that American Interests in Mexico Are Not Suf- fering Now from Loot as
 They Have Been.

Douglas, Ariz., Sept II. - Agua Prieta, the little Mexican town across the border from Douglas, which figur- ed so prominently in the Madero rev ter upon which Mexican rebels in northern Sonora will concentrate in an effort to secure a port of entry.
 Despite the ultimatum sent up by Antonio Rojas early today that he would attack the town unless 1t was surrendered by s o'clock tomorrow morning, federal officers were on the alert tonight, believing an effort would be made to take the town before the time limit stipulated in the ulti- matum expired.
 Lieutenant Colonel Begne. in com mand of the small garrison at Agua Prieta, said he could defend the town successfully if the command of 400 Yaqui Indians under General Sanjines arrived tonight from Juarez, as ex- pected. Although it was announced that the Agua Prieta garrison com prised several hundred men, Begnes command numbers few more than 100. Late today the soldiers were appor- toned 50 extra rounds of, ammunition in addition to the full belts they have been carrying. Outposts were thrown about town, but at nightfal there was no sign of the advancing rebels.
 All of the records were removed from Agua Prieta and brought across foIsoug1as today and many yomen and children were sent to this side of the line in anticipation of an attack not later than tomorrow noon.
 Reports were received late today by the federal commander at Agua Prieta that the combined rebel forces of Inez Salazar, Antonio Rojas and Rafael Campa were advancing toward the international line from three direc- tions.
 Salazar, whose movements have been paralleled by United States cav airy on the American side, reached a point IS miles southeast of Douglas.
 Walter Douglass, executive head of the large American business inetrests in the southwest. who came through the rebel lines on a railway motor velocipede last night and arrived here today, reported that the rebels have refrained from molesting Americans. At several places where homes and ranches of natives were footed, the rebels did not even enter those of Americans.
 This, he said, was due somewhat to the unfriendly attitude of Sonora Mex jeans, who look upon the rebel in yaders as foreigners" The interests represented by MT. Douglass were no tified that the Nacozari railroad, own ed by them, would be destroyed if the company did not desist in aiding the Madero government. MT. Douglass said the eompay had been neutral, that no foreigners had even taken part in the recent battle of Nacozari but htat his company intended to pro tect it's property and that of its off cers and employees.
