EL PAso. Tex. July Sin tn. first
charge upon the Mexican Standardization
at Bachimba the Federals failed to bulge
the enemy to-day. The two main armies
are now fighting the battle that. while
it may not decide the revolution will
decide the control of the State of Chi
huahua, held by the rebels for the last five
months
The rebels still hold their Positions
after the first days contest and the Fcd-
eral camp has not been advanced north
ward tonight. Rebels in reporting the
fight to their comrades in Juarez declare
that after two hours of fierce combat
our heroic soldiers have routed more
than 26lo Foderals."
The + ederals in reporting to their consul
here and to their President in Mexico city
declare that they shelled the rebel camp
for while to-day to ascertain the loca-
tion of tn" rebel batteries and sharp
shooters preparatory to the real fighting.
The fighting was brisk for Q time about
noon. preceded by skirmish firing. also
followed by more tonight. but skir,nish
ing has been continuous almost for several
days.
The Fedcrals. opening with hot artil-
lery fire to-day. att tempted several flank
movements. but were successful in
any of them owing to the rugged char
acter OF the country and the splendid
natural Notifications and true aim Of the
rebel sharpshooters.
The principal cannonading was directed
at the rebel command Of Gen Del roro
at l.efrente. sinai. station near
Bachimba. and many of the shells were
exploded among the mon Of his command

accurate at times.

WA.HiNGToN, July 3.After years OF
solicitation on the part Of the United States
Ecuador has taken preliminary steps
| looking to the sanitation OF the disease
infested the city Of Guayaquil. the chief
port Of the west coast of South America
between Calao and Panama. The Gov
ernmcnt Of Ecuador has requested the
United States to lend that country the
services of Col. Gorgas Of the Army Medi-
cal Corps or some of his assistants who
have won a wide reputation in cleaning
up the Canal Zone.
| 1t il most probable the request will be
granted. Ii cannot be done. however.
until certain formalities are complied
with owing to restrictions upon the use OF
army officers in service other than that
of the United States. Authority OF Con-
gress must he granted for the necessary
officers to take leave of absence and enter
into the service of Ecuador and receive
pay from that Government. resolu-
ton providing this authority probably
will he introduced in Congress as soon o.
it is decided at the War Department what
officers are available for the work at
Guayaquil.
All that the Fcuadorian Government
now plans is a sanitary survey Of the city
and harbor and the compilation OF esti-
mates as TO the work necessary to rid
Guayaluil of its numerous contagious
diseases and make it habitable for for
eigners Guayapuil for years has been
known as the most dangerous port OF the
Western Hemisphere and has been conse-
quently serious menace to shipping
Yellow fever. typhoid fever, smallpox
and even plague are almost always pres
ent in Guayaquil. Ships coming from
Guayaquil are regarded with suspicion
wherever they touch and are universally
subjected TO the most rigorous inspection.
Army medical officers on the Canal Zone
have been especially watchful OF shipping
coming from Guayaouil The assertion
is made by them that unless Guayaquil
is cleaned up before the opening of the
Panama Canal the shippug of the world
would be greatly endangered if vessels
from Ecuador ports were permitted to
pass through the canal.
Attention was concentrated upon con-
ditions AT Guayaquil last January. when
Capt. Levi {. Beroiette, commanding
the United States gunboat Yorktown.

died there a few days later. Several
men on his ship likewise died at Guaya-
quill of the same disease. Previously
an officer OF the Health and Marine Hos
pital force met death at Guayaquil under
similar circumstances. while the whole
world remembers that Thomas Mast
met his death as consul there.
At the time of Capt. Bertolette's death
the into!erable conditions allowed to
prevail at Guayaquil were told Of in THE
SrS. Later the State Department made
known its views in the matter and a
campaign OF publicity resulted which
ca lied attention 10 the situation.
