WAR IN CANANEA.
Battle Of Cananea Ended and All Is
 Quiet at Copper Camp.

ly shattered town of Cananea fell into the hands of the cOnSti- tutionalists Wednesday evening after three days battle in which Col. Moreno of the feder- als, with about 500 men, oppos- ed state troops numbering in the neigh bOrhood of 1900. In the capitula tion of the cuartel fol lowing a sharp attack by the YaouiS late in the afternoon, the state troops took Col. Moreno, IS other officers, and 32O men prisoners. They also captured 500 rifles, 5000 cartridges, two machine guns and two cannons.
 The dead and wounded on the federal side number 157. Dead and wounded on the constitu- tionalists' side, 136. Many are missing. It was reported that the federal officers were to be executed today, but this was later denied.
 Tine state troops took control of the city, seized the telephone and telegraph facilities, and are policing the town. They are acting very decently, so far. No trouble is expected. The Sonora authorities will assume control of the customs station. Arrangements will be made as soon as possible to get fuel oil to the smelter of the Cananea Consolidated Copper company so that operations may be resumed and 4OOO men now out of work be returned to their employment.
 Tine state troops seized box cars of the railroad company for the transportation of their troops.
 The federalS had been without food and water for 36 hours and were suffering greatly in con sequence. The Red Cross ren- dered efficient aid in caring for the wounded of both sides.
 The state troops secured from the federals at this place 500 rifles, 35,OOO cartridges, two machine guns and two cannons. These were badly needed by the state troops and will be used in the attack on Gen. Ojeda. They will then be used in the
 
 on Guaymas when the state troops in the north can reach that place which they expect to do in a week.
 Colonel Moreno and his men who were captured at Cananea were loaded on a train and are on the way to HerInoSillo where it is expected that they will be held prisoners until the war is ended or until they can be pa. roled About 200 state troops are left in Cananea to guard the town in case Rojas decides to make an attack. The rest of the state troops will be pushed against General Ojeda at once.
 It is said to be the intention of the state troops to whip Ojeda in short time and then to rush all the troops possible to Quay mas where an attack will be made on the federal forces there before they can be reinforced.
 There appears to be nothing in the report that all of the captured officers were to be executed or shot under the fugi tive law. None of them has been executed.
 OJEDA'S LAST STAND.
 Naco, March 21.-With Can anea fallen, the scene of Son. ora's revolution shifted Thurs day to the vicinity of Villa Yer de, between Naco and Cananea, where Ojeda and his federals command were at 1 o'clock in the afternoon. They had left Naco Wednesday enroute to Can anea in the hope of reaching the beleaguered Col. Moreno and his federals before they were forced to surrender.
 To meet and combat Gen. Oje- da, a trainload of state troops left Cananea about 1 o'clock, or shortly afterward. An engage ment is expected before night. It may possibly be delayed until Friday, but this is hardly ex- pected.
