Atrocities.

Naco, AriZ., Oct. 20.-Two hundred
and fifty Mexicans, wounded during
the attack on Naco, Sonora, were
brought TO this city through special
permission from the Washington gov
eminent. The Carranza government
has promised they will be attended
without expense to the American state
or national government.
This action came as a result of an
appeal made through Governor Hunt,
in which it was asserted that if the
Mexican town was taken by Governor
M%aytorena's Indians the wounded
would be killed.
Only AZ patients were allowed to
remain, the permission for their re-
ception conveying only those seriously
wounded. The examination by the
American army surgeons caused the
rejection of most of the cases. One
of those received died later. His body
was returned to Naco, Sonora, for
burial.
Three Of the patients are Yaqui
Indians, whose execution was prevent
ed by a Mexican nurse.
1t was planned to send the wound
ed to Douglas. where there are bet
ter hospital facilities, but so far au-
thority to do this has not been given.
Provost Marshal Captain Cowan
has taken charge of the hospital in
the Naco opera house.
Both sides during the prolonged bat.
tie have been threatening to execute
the wounded.
