Nogales, Ariz., May 2.--As soon as
! it became evident that the constitul-
! tionaists had decided to leave EN-
| paine, a suburb across the bay from
| Guaymas, the Guerrero opened
hot fire over the town. AS the last
of the insurgent horsemen appeared
over a hill more than mile away,
shells from the gunboat burst over
their heads causing a hurried exit
over the horizon. At Empalme is To-
Gated a normally large American col
ony, largely of railway employees. II.
Lawton, general freight and passen-
ger agent of the road, who was sick
in bed, was removed in an automobile
while others remained under cover
or escaped into the safety of the hills,
Hearing that the federal garrison
at Guaymas had been reinforced to
$500 men, the state troops are re-
treating northward toward Hermo- /
sillo, the state capital. The delayed |
insurgent attack had resulted during /
the last fortnight in intermittent fir |
ing across the bay between Empalme /
and Guaymas.
Reinforcements from the northern I
border failed to arrive, the Yaqui In
dams, the strongest state fighting
force, deserted in body owing to
lack of pay and the various consttu-
tionalst chiefs failed to agree on the
mode of attack.
