assembled to command range on the
Federals. The explosion caused sour
rying of rebels and left number on
the ground. The 60 hours of fighting,
so far as observable, was indecisive.
except that the rebels were steadily
gaining ground, while the operation of
the Federals was becoming more linz
tied. To brighten the Federals into a
retreat across the border into Texas
and thus end the battle without a pro-
longed siege or without the fatal re-
suits of a close encounter, was ohvi-
ously the purpose of the rebel cemman-
ders.
Three or four Federals who entered
American territory today said they had
seen as many as several hundred dead
lying near one place. They say the
rank of the Federal army was fighting
without enthusiasm, that all the
wound were left uncared for, that be-
cause of disputes between the volun-
teers and the regulars the army was
without organization, and that many
of the men wished to desert across
the border, but were prevented by fear
that they would be shot by their own
officers.
The wounded that are able to reach
the river are to be cared for on this
side by the Red Cross. Fear of summary
execution should they be captured by
the rebels was said to have prompted
six OF the IL Federal generals in Ojin-
aga to arrange for crossing the river
at point remote from Preside.

the measures in question fayorably re-
