ALL-DAY BATTLE
AT NUEV0 LAREDO
Rebels Make Repeated Attacks on
Federals, but the Town
Remains Untaken.

erals and rebels who fought to-day loi
possession Of Nuevo Laredo Men"
rested early tonight in relatively the
same positions as when the batt'e
began. From $50 to 300 dead lay
where they fell. and several huhureu
wounded suffered under poor attention.
The rebels. under General Pablo Son
,ales were less than a mile from tEe
town tonight. and the Federals were
intrenched within its borders.
Official reports of the number OF
dead were lacking. The attacking
forces placed their number at one nun
dred. including Captain Eziquel Par
,as The defenders admitted they had
,os4 fftv men. one of whom was cap
tain Nancillas. Early in the day ked
Cross workers who crossed the river
during a lulI in the firing reported that
tbev found more than two hundred
dead on the field.
Fighting. which began at dayoreak'
lulled at noon, but was reopened thrse
hours later bv a gun squad that drew
away from the main body OF reVoiu-
tionists and poured a hail OF buiie,s
into the Federal stronghold. Undadnt-
ed by the bursting of shells, the gun
ner, said to be F'renchman haiheu
Brien. trained his gun with deadly ec-
curacv whenever a sufficient number Oh
Federal targets appeared. At O'CLOCK
the rebels ceased their attack, with tue
intention. it was understood, OF WORK
ing closer to the Federal position ana
resorting to dynamite bombs.
During the afternoon battle the lone
rebel gunner drew the fire of four ma
chine guns, thirty shots coming from
tho Federal side TO one from the Con-
stitutionalists. With Brien we're about
one hundred men, according to two
Americans who crossed the bridge and
reached the revolutionist lines. The
souad had four machine guns, but used
only one at time.
Fighting began this morning Wheh
q column Of Federal infantry, led by
a squadron of cavalry dashed out or
Nuevo Laredo toward the east, where
Constitutionalists seemed to occupy an
exposed position AS the attacking
column passed a point near the Rio
Grande three Federals broke from the
ranks and ran toward the river. Their
comrades shot them dead.
As the Federal sortie was about to
reach the Constitutionalist lines the
main body of rebels appeared south OF
the city, coming from a different di-
rection. Back into the city the Fed
eral column dashed, and machine guns
began a steady fire ON the main body
Of rebels. which soon withdrew.
Examination of the field indicated
that at one stage of the fight the Con-
stitutionalists cut off an entire COM
panv of Federals, moving them down
with both rife and artillery fire. 1t
was said that not one of the siXty-hve
men i'm this company escaped.
The rebels three times tried to rush
the Federal intrenchments, but ma
chine eunfire each time drove item
back.

The Federals tonight are utterly

twelve hours. The warning sent by
General Ortega, the rebel commander,
that no quarter would be given or

there is no hope except in wholesale

Federal leaders sent emissaries TO the
American side to-day to ask permis-

Major Michael NJ. McNamee, COM

sidio. has been preparing for fight TO
the American side Of the entire Federal
army. Hundreds already have crossed,
most of them stnl carrying their guns
and cartridges but all have been dis
armed and sent back 20 the Mexican
side. American soldiers hold the guns
and equipment of more than three hun
ured tederals who crossed the border.
As the Federals are running short of
ammunition and have no surplus guns.
the disarmed men are proving a handi-
cap in the battle.

Ready to Receive Federals.

A message addressed by Major Nc
Nance 20 General Hugh L. Scott, at EI
Paso, to-day said: -
Heavy artillery firing continued in
and about Ojinaga. Several hundred
women and children came across and
are under cover on this side. Many
wounded came in from different points
up and down the river and are held in
a church. Red Cross officials wired for
three doctors and several nurses.
II am still driving Federals back,
first disarming them. Have now over
200 rifles. other arms and ammunition.
Expect at any time during the fight
that the greater part Of the Federal
army, possibly 1000 or 5000, may be
forced to cross the river. l have made
dispositions to disarm and hold them
if this takes place.
AT this hour l have one troop
patrolling between the town and the
river and another riding roads north
Of Ojinaga leading toward Shafter.
"A few shells fired by rebels fell
close TO or on the American bank OF
the river north of town. No one was
injured. I sent demand TO General
Ortega, warning him against conse-
quences OF such action. So far have
the situation In hand"

Dead and Wounded in Trenches.

In Ojinaga and in the trenches
around the town are more than 800
slain Federals and probably a still
greater number of wounded. In Pre-
sidio there are already more than 200
wounded who are taxing the ability
of the American Red Cross workers to
care for them. Ten additional Red
Cross nurses and A large amount OF
medical supplies were ordered 10 Pre-
sidio tonight TO aid the workers.
Wounded Federals cannot be brought
across as rapidly as they should oe,
for men cannot be spared from the
fighting line to carry them over the
river. Along the river bank on the
Mexican side wounded men lie in
groups. begging to be carried to the
American side.
Arrangements were being made in RI
Paso to-day TO bring many OF the
wounded TO this city. where they can
be placed in hospitals. This will be
done. but as Preside is many miles
from tne rdllIOdu IL VIII tame several
days to get them here, and the more
seriously injured could not stand the
rough trip.
Federal leaders in Ojinaga expected
to-day to be one Of victory FOR them
following the apparent repulse Of tho
rebels yesterday. Instead. IL has been
day of unceaslng terror and Of de-
feat following defeat for the Federals.
until late to-day the whole Federal
army was i'm a panic. too iemoralized
to fight and too frightened TO rally.
only the most heroic efforts of the
leaders prevented stampede 10 the
American border.

oNLY HIMsELF TO BLAME.

Huerta is losing no opportunity to present protest to the mediators and this country that the United States has violated the armistice which was agreed to at the time the good offices of the South American diplomats were accepted This has been manifested by the efforts which he has made to interpret the precautionary moves and the safeguarding of shipping which have been done as acts of hostilities It must be evident to him that no az gressive moves have been made upon the part of this country, but he can hardly expect that it is going to sit calmly by only to find itself entrap- ped by some plot over which he may or may not have control.
 The maintenance of the light at Lobos Island by the navy is the last incident to which he makes objection but rather should he first consider the purpose Of his own act of ordering the discontinuance of the lighthouses. There was no reason for such an order except to endanger the vessels of the United States navy and all other ship ping in those waters. It was war measure during an armistice and tfie landing of forces to keep the light burning was only a measure of safety on the part of this country as a pro- lection to its own vessels and those of other countries. It is simply an other precautionary move. There is no aggressive act involved, the move in fact being made necessary by Huerta's own order to extinguish and thereby provide an indirect menace to naviga- tion It is tome he began to realize that doing as he pleases and making others do likewise is past.
