NOGALES. State 

lasting from 5:3O in the morning until 5:3O in the evening"
 Those who were anxious to see a fight between the federal and state troops are now SatiS- | fled, and in future will be the first to protest against fighting in NOgaleS.
 That scores Of citizens on the American. side of the interna- tional line were not killed of wounded is past understanding. Hundreds, possible thousands of bullets fell on the American side of the line, many homes and business houses being hit many times, during the twelve hours almost continuous battle be- tween 300 federal soldiers com manded by Colonels Reyes and Kosterlitzky,' and 1000 state troops under command of Col onels Obregon and Cabral.,
 At 5-3O Colonels Obregon's In dians, Yaquis, Pimas and Mayos, some 500, attacked the federalS who were entranched on the hills southeast and southwest of the international line, the In dians using rifles and grenades, with the deadly effect Again and again they charged the de lenders, who each time drove the Indians back with terrible loss in killed and wounded. Colonel KoSterlitzky's forces oc- cupied the trenches to the south east, where the first attack, was made, the ones to the west being occupied by Colonel Reyes men. Yaqui Chief Bule, of the state troops, who was to attack on the west, was unable to locate the federal positions and did not arrive in time to take part in the first attack. ...s'...-,

 Early in the day the. Red Cross consisting of Drs. Purdy, Gus letter, Chenoweth, Smelker and Fielding, began. bringing. the wounded to the Sisters Hospital from the battle field. and. when the battle ended at five thirty in the evening, twenty seven wounded soldiers, most of them Constitutionalists, h ad be n treated, and fifteen killed had been reported, the greatest loss having been sustained by the state troops.
 Early in the battle, Captain M. Del Valle, of the federal forces, was killed. and Colonel Reyes had his horse killed. Col onel Kosterlitzky's trumpeter was also killed and his orderly wounded when the rebels made a rush on the federal trenches.
 All day long the state troops under Colonel Obregon and Col onel Cabral, continued to ad- vance on the federalS' positions, and at four o'clock hundreds of fresh troops none of whom had been in the fight, were ordered to advance on the federals, and for an hour the fight was des-- parate, the federals against ter rible odds, holding their posi- tiOnS.
 They had fought twelve hours without food or water and their amm munit1On was almost exhaust ed, but not a man weakened. They were obeying orders, and would have died fighting had not Colonel Tate, in charge of the American soldiers, given the order to cease firing. This was done after Private Unfieet of the Fifth cavalry U. $. A., had accidentally been shot while do- ing police duty near the inter- national line on International street. He was shot through the nose and face, the bullet coming out the back of his neck.
 The wound was not fatal, and Unfeet will recover.
 The cease firing order, agreeded upon by the Mexican federal officers and the Amer ican officers, was immediately obeyed, but firing continued for nearly an hour between Colonel Reyes Outposts and ObregOn's men west of the city. As soon as word could reach the federals, they too ceased firing and as sembled on the city plaza from where they marched to the Am erican side of the line and sur rended to Col. Wilbur E. Wilder of the Fifth cavalry.
