DARKNESS DOESN'T END BATTLE.
Between Rebels and Federals at 0jinaga,
Mexico

Presidio, Texas, Dec. 3l.-The battle
between 5000 rebels under General To-
ribio Ortega and the northern division
of the Mexican federal army, entrenehed
around Ojinaga, Mexico, across the bor-
der from this place, still continued when
darkness fell last night. No bullets
came across the border.
The forces had been engaged for 81
hours and many had been killed and
wounded on both sides.
General Ortega, executing series OF
flank movements, kept steadily on the
offensive, gaining foot by foot the ap-
proaches to the federal stronghold. The
federal forces, although crippled and
disorganized by the first rebel onslaught,
which drove in their outposts, chung to
the hillside trenches where their leaders
had decided to make a last stand.
The federals rallied somewhat from
panic which seized many of them with
the first volleys of the rebels, when day
light disclosed the position of Ortega S
men, and put up plueky fight against
heavy odds, although their losses were
heavy. both from wounds and from de-
sertions. Many wounded and deserters
waded waist deep through the river to
the American side.
