 Naco may be turned over to Gener- al Maytorena without further battle. General Benjamin c. Hill, commander at Naco. may be ordered to lay down his arms and surrender the city with out further conflict. Hill may not rec ognize the orders. and again the bat tie and seize of Naco which has al- ready continued for nineteen days may continued.
 Sunday General Maytorena, in res ponse to the wires of the convention in Aguas Calientes requesting an arm istice in Sonora, sent message to the generals assembled He stated that Hill is a fiibuster. That he has no definite cause for which he is fighting That Hill is holding port of entry into the United States of Mexico with out authority. collecting import and export duties, and other assessments and fees. He ended the message with the request that Hill be foIEed to lay down his arms by the convention.
 In response to the message which Maytorena sent, and because the fac tions on the border have refused to recognize the declared armistice of the convention, a peace delegation. de signated with full authority o act. is now enroute from Aguas Calientes to Naco. where they will meet with the leaders of the two factions and where an attempt to pacify them and settle their disputes, at least until the con ference has finished it's sittings. will be made.
 These were the chief developments of an uneventful day at the border. But even inactive as the two contend ing forces were, there was a contin- ued excitement and rushing hurly- burly. Occasionally one of the YaQut outposts would open fire on the Hill trenches and reply would belch from the machine guns. But he fire was slackened. and until after dark there was small shooting At night there were occasional volleys, heavier than those of the day.
 The chief excitement of he day was caused when it was announced that Maytorena had brought a new field piece to within two miles of the city on the railroad tracks and in direct line with the American town, from where he would shell the Mexican position with an aim to destroying their water tank and starving them from thirst The new gun had not been unlimbered. however. up to an early hour this morning.
 As in the days past rumors of re- ports from the Maytorena camp that they will endeavor to ake the city at day break this morning were frequent. Some were reported from captains in the Maytorena command, and others floated in without foundation. The Review representative could not es- tablish the reports accuracy and from what he could learn from the be- seiging forces, is inclined to believe that the attack will be delayed pend ing h findings of the peace delegation enroute to Naco.
 During the day several more wound. ed were taken from Naco to Douglas, where oy .pecisl permission from tLe United States government. they have been permitted to establish q hospital They were urdor military escort. and will be returned to the Mexican side as soon as able to again cary ar'us One died before he could be placed on the train. Another l sexpected 70 die momentarily. In the wounded car was also a vhmAn who had her limb amputated after being torn by shell.
 That Hill is becoming short Of funds is shown by the fact that he was forced to allow 200 rifles and 25, 900 rounds of ammunition lie in the express office several days before he could claim them. Some state that if l Maytorena continues his operations for another two weeks he will sorce surrender on Hill who. will be depict. ed of funds and supplies by that time.
