to the war path, adding new terrors to the rebel -harassed residents of So- nora along the Southern Pacific rail road A band of 100 Indians raided Realito, a hamlet on the Yaqui river last night and carried away one of the village officials. They attacked Colonia, near the Southern Pacific headquarters at Empalme and killed two men, one woman and a child. and wounded an- other woman.
 A federal guard comprising an of ficer and 12 men were at the Empalme railway station when the attack was made and they immediately made off on foot toward Colonia.
 The soldiers met the inhabitants of Colonia fleeing before the Indians to- ward Empalme and because the non- combatants were between their pur- suers and rescuers, the latter were un- able to direct an effective fire at the Yauuis. The Indians. however, sent a brisk fire into the townspeople.
 Of the dozen federal soldiers who went out to meet the hostiles, five were killed and six were injured. One Yaqui dead remained on the battlefield when the Indians withdrew to the hills. It is reported that 400 rebels are encamped almost within sight of Empalme to- night.
 So close were the Indians to Elm palme during the fighting that bullets struck the American Railway club and several residences.

San An tonia, Tex, to arm the American resi- {. dents in Cananea. The rebels cut the railway in an attempt to prevent the shipment of arms reaching the Ameri- cans at Cananea. Six bridges were burned.
 Care had been taken to conceal the destruction of the shipment of arms. but news that the Americans of Cananea had requested Washington au- thorities to send them arms for self protection, and that the request had been granted is believed to have be- come known among the rebel chiefs in this vicinity.
 Not only are American lives believed to be in danger as result of today's oeprations by the rebels. but mines must close down for lack of fuel within four days, mining engineers say.
 Cananea IS one of the most extensive copper mining centers in the world and the Cananea Copper company is the richest corporation Of its Kind in Mex ico. The railway destroyed by rebels runs from the American border to Cananea and is part of the Southern Pacific of Mexico.
 In Cananea are about 800 America an men and about 50 American women About 100 of these are American cow boys from surrounding ranches Re- cent threats of rebel leaG, rs to attacl, Cananea are taken seriously here ia view of today's development.
 There are no federal troops in Cananea other than 50 left in the hos pital when the federals evacuated the camp few days ago
