Bisbee daily review., 1914-09-29

General Benjamin Gil commander of the Constimtionalist troops at Naco. is ready for the attack of the Naytorena Yaquis At the same time, the absence of definite knowledge of the whereabouts of the Yaquis and their commander. makes the date of the opening of the siege of Naco uncertain. In fact to date there is no positive proof that the forces un- der the Indian chieftan win move against the border city, and the Gil forces are only waiting the appear ance Cf the aggressors, or orders to move to the protection of some other point in the state
 The location of the Yaqui forces by tne Gil troops is in the hands Of 700 Mexican cavalry who were dis patched from Naco early Sunday morning. They are reported to be as far ss twenty miles south of the city. They have failed to state they have seen the Maytorena men, though they have sent ia reports of meeting up with several parties of Ids scouts.
 Last reports from Cananea. prior to the cutting of the wires Sunday evening. stated that the Maytorena forcos were just entering that city. Since then no definite news has been had from them.
 Gil, his officers and his force. how ever. seem confident that the Yaqui is proceeding slowly toward their fortified position They believe, ac- cording to their statements last eve nine that he will come on the city during the night sometime this week, and that the attack will start with daybreak They are also confident that the 4.00O men whom they have in their camp. and the Notifications which they have erected, will be so efficient that Maytorena will be forced to give up his attacks on them and leave for endorsements and more men.
 Former Military Governor of the state of Sonora Gales who is now a general in the Constitutlonalist army and for whom the Naco garrison have been watching for the past several days. is reported to be at Agua Prieta where he arrived yesterday. lt is thought he will come at once today to Naco. where according to uncoufrmed reports he will take complete charge of the Carranza troops and will direct the defense of the city
 General Gil has already made ready for a long siege. He has placed in a complete half circle about the city and at distance of about one mile from the center of the city, a series of rife pits. These pits are six feet long. one foot deep, wide enough for one man. and protected in front by a pile of rocks and dirt They are close to the earth, and are SO placed that they have an advantageous posi- tion ever any approaching forces ir point of effective firing.
 Inside this first line of ditches, the old line which was used by Ojeda ir the defense of the city remains for a secondary defense in case the invaders succeed in driving the Gn men from their outmost positions These ditchei have been remade in places, new pits have been dug in them at sev eral points and they have been mad' completely ready for the defense.
 Agam inside the second line O pits are the Notifications of the cit! the old bull ring, the old adObie about the city, the quartet, and th, many cars and trains along the Sou thern Pacific of Mexico tracks whlcl pass through the city.
 Food for a siege has also been SC cured and the Gil forces will be abl to stand out for several weeks with out need of outside provisions Il case such a stand is necessary Prio 10 leaving Cananea the Gil forces acting under the commands of thei leader. footed and appropriated al property in the city which will b useful in their defense of the borde town. Among those places footed wer the many small Chinese and Mexi can stores which filed the streets Of the bis copper camp, and from which
