Also Gen. Castro and Others
Battle Lasted But
Few Hours.

Preside, Texas.-The Mexican fed
eral army, with it's nine generals, evac-
uated Ojinaga. Mexico, Saturday night.
The triumphant rebel forces under
General Francisco Villa Immediately
occupied the village.
General Salvador Mercado who was
Huerta's chief military commander,
crossed the river and surrendered to
Major McNamee of the United States
army. General Francisco Castro later
crossed and placed himself under pro-
lection of United States troops. He
was followed by several of the sub
ordinate generals.
The defeat of the federal army fol.
lowed few hours fighting, in which
the rebels, beginning at SHUTDOWN
started to close in on the besieged
garrison with a terrific fire of can
non, shrapnel and rifles.
Later Report.
Presidio, Texas-Twenty-eig hun
dred Mexican federal soldiers. si1
generals, 100000 rounds of ammuni
ton, two cannon, four large fiele
pieces and 1900 civilian refugees were

army border patrol Sunday as the re
suit Of the federal army's evacuation
of Ojinago, Mexico, it's flight to Amer
lean territory, and the occupation o
the Mexican village by General Fran
cisco Villas rebels.
The distress of the refugees is az
palling. They have scant food an
no shelter. Men, women, children
dogs and chickens and cattle ar
packed together in a space coverin
several acres. About them are seal
tered all the wreck and turmoil whic
they brought in fleeing from the O1lr
aga battle.
Urgent requests for the immediat
removal of the soldiers and refugee
to some other place were sent by MI
jor McNamee to the war department
through Brigadier General Bliss.
