The accuracy of the Maytorena light artillery fire was yesterday dis closed when in range finding shoot ing in the preliminary bobardment of the city of Naco, Sonora, the May torena gunners dropped twenty-one shells in a radius of twenty feet, near the car on which is located the Hin search light The YaQui gunners were firing at the search light. which they wish to destroy One of the twenty-one shells directed on the box car on which the light is located hit the car However. the light was again working last night.
 The bombardment of the city con tinued most of yesterday The May torena authorities on this side of the line state that the firing thus far has been for the chief purpose of finding range and seeing just what they will have to accomplish when the general assault commences. The general pub lie in Naco has accepted the same view, and believe that the attack yes terday was chiefly to see if the May torean guns and gunners are working up to expectancy
 One of the shells which the gun ncrs from the Yaqui lines fired from the west position in the first attack shortly after II o'clock yesterday morning struck in the Hin trenches. One soldier and a woman in the ditch were killed Four other soldiers and one other woman were injured. The ditch was torn down for several yards on each side of the explosion. In the same attack several other shells hit near the ditch, and many struck in the city itself The craftsmanship of the gunners was excellent from the first shot fired, which broke di- rectly over the heads of the prone men in the Hill defenses. The first attack from the west side near the line continued for half an hour
 Following the attack from the line on the west another gun of the May torena forces opened further to the south where a direct line of the Hill center was exposed to the fire Several of the shells fired in this attack dropped in the neighborhood of the ditches. and one demolished the old slaughter pen, at the eX- treme south and in the center of the Hill defenses, where officers on duty make their headquarters. It was im- possible to learn if any of the off, cers were in the building at the time it was struck and it is not known if any were killed by the explosion.
 At 4:45 o'clock Hill opened fire on the windmill camp from his east de- fense. There was immediate reply on the part of the Yaquis Their fire came from every side of the city, and their shells were directed with such accuracy that the Hotchkiss was soon silenced in the east ditch al- though 1t is thought the gun was un- injured This fire continued until al- most dark in heavy style After dark there were few shells fired
 Maytorena suffered one loss during the day. When a small detachment of his cavalry were making their way about the foothills south of Naco they came on and discharged under their feet a contact mine of some size. There was immediate scattering of soldiers with the explosion One horse was seen from the American side to rise from the ground limping and leave for the hills as fast as his injured condition would permit. Later when the Maytorenistas had agair gathered in the cavalry returned tC the spot to examine the exploded mine and take away their injured and dead. From the American sid, where were observers of the whol' incident, the cavalry were seen t' remove two men from the scene O the explosion. lt is not known i the men were dead or injured, ant it Is not known here if more thai the two suffered in the explosion However, it is thought no other were injured and that the two picke up were both dead
 The general attack with artiller, on the city is expected some tim this, afternoon, though there is n direct evidence on which to base tn
