 It was learned yesterday that re- Inducements would arrive al Agua Prieta either today or tomorrow, as it is expected that an attempt will be made this week to capture that town and in that event Marcarenas
 would set up his provisional gov ernment there. However, it is not
 believed that there is a force oi
 rebels anywhere near Agua Prieta
 that would be strong enough to take Agua Prieta even from the present force in that garrison.
 A gentleman who was in the city
 yesterday from Guaymas stated that
 during the past week there were
 many troops trains loaded with sold
 iers passed north over the Guaymas
 line, but that it seemed to be a
 mystery as to where they are now
 as their arrival at Cananea or al
 any point on the northern border has not been announced. He is of
 the opinion that these men have been
 detained somewhere, and started
 east to the state of Chihuahua
 This same gentleman brought the
 news of a slaughter of rebels by
 federal troops and volunteers ter days ago at ChiOX, Sinaloa. The
 rebels came into this town not be
 lieving that there was any consider
 able force there to oppose theii l, footing. They proceeded to rob the
 stores and the citizens, but did Eot , proceed very far until they were
 surrounded by a federal garrison
 reinforced by the volunteer citizens
 and thirty-five rebels were killed only a very few of the band making , their escape. The rebels were giver no quarter and when the fight was over the streets were lined witt dead rebels.

 erations. including the work beinl done on the La Barranca. property by the Phelps-Dodge interests. Mir LarraZolo called at the office . today, having learned that the Dail!
 international intended publishing tho , reports regarding himself and Mas
