learning all kinds of trades and vo-

Nfx|CANS IN BLOODYBATTLE
FIERCE FIGHT FOR THE POSSES
SION OF MATAMORAS IN
MEXICO. ....
Many of Huerta's Troops Are Report
ed Killed and Large Num-
Der Wounded.

Brownsville, Texas.-While a hand
full of men were still offering logged
resistance to the rebel troops of Gen.
Lucie Blanco, "constitutionalist'' COM
mander-in-chief of the state of 'Tama-
ulipas Matamoras, Mexico, is prac-
tically in the hands Of the revolution
lists after a battle waged without in
terruption all day. Colonel Eschas-
ereta with 100 volunteers made the
dral and theater in Hidala plaza.
Flames from burning buildings in
several sections of the battle-scarred
city lighted the sky for miles around
and for time it was feared that the
town was doomed, however, the fire
zones decreased.
The toll of death on both sides has
been heavy. Major Estaban Ramos,
federal commander, was wounded ear
ly in the engagement. He was brought
to a Brownsville hospital. His condi-
ton is critical. Private Davis of the
United States cavalry, was wounded
by a stray shot while patrolling the
border on the American side of the
Rio Grande. Authentic estimates of
the dead and wounded are not avail
able. One report brought by refugees
was that between 200 and 800 of the
combatants had been killed and double
that number wounded.
One hundred and twelve of the fed
eral troops crossed to Brownsville and
surrendered to the United States mill
tary authorities.
