Three heavy, and what could be all most termed fierce attacks. were made yesterday afternoon and even ing on the Hill positions in Naco' Sonora The first was made just be- fore sundown. The second came at s o'clock The third. and the shortest started at 1O.1O o'clock last night and continued for twelve minutes. Be tween the heavy firing and the three real contacts, there was an almost continued desultory firing of shots several minutes elapsing between them
 The attacks followed close on the announcement of Maytorena that he was tired of negotiating with Hill for peace or an armistice. and that he would follow later instructions from his chief, and take the city. Tester day afternoon two officers of the Maytorena force appeared in Ameri- can headquarters bearing a message which they wished to present to the American commander
 They stated they would resume the offensive. and that they would as far as possible retain their fire to the Mexican side of the line. However they wished to announce their intent to the Americans SO that they might continue their usual active manner of protecting non-combatants. They stated that they had made several attacks and assaults already with the intent of locating the Hill forces and defenses. That others would follow in the afternoon and evening was al- SO their avowal
 They ended by stating that they would take the city starting at BOO o'clock this morning They said their attacks so far had been for the pur- pose of reoonnoitering, and that they are now in position to come into the city with small loss and speedily. They also inumated that Maytorena has official advise from Villa demand ing that the town of Naco be taken.
 Heavy artillery played a large part in the siege of the city during the af- NhINOOA anu cfNtl Al HAAtAAH " AAANt were fired by the German gunner, Captain Manlow. who is manning the five inch field piece in the Yaqui army. were effective One of them the first fired tore apart an adobe residence in the center of the Mexi- can village. Later, the second shot red entered the Mexican postofice tearing a great piece out of the wall. third shot struck inside the Hill trenches near the mess tent, and the fourth tore up the dirt on the outer all scharpnel and all of them ex ploded
 In their second advance on the city last evening when at 8:45 the Yaquis came near the town, the clash was hercest. At the southwest cor ner of the Hill enrenchments the combat became an almost hand tC hand suugle A machine gun manned by Yaquis was brought tC within eighty yards of the Hil trenches and its fire was directed against the ditches where the defend CTS of the oity replied almost a' 6ercely as the attackers fired Gen eral Hill. in a message 10 his ageni at Agua Prieta after the engagement had concluded stated that the Yaquii had come to within seyenty-ive yardl of his positions. and that following the engagement over 200 bodies eoulC be seen where they had been re pulsed.
 MaytOrena, however. in reply to message sent him from the American side by friends replied that the al tack was but one of his military move made to determine the strength O the Mexicans in the city. 'I will b' in Naco, Arizona, poco pronto." wal the word he sent to the city to hi friend Dave Green "I'll join yol there soon in a good old fashioned drink like we used to have south il Sonora"
 The contents of message whicl came 10 Maytorena by way of th American telegraph office and wa delivered by messenger to the Yaqu chief late last evening has been th source of much conjecture The mes sage was from Washington, D. C.
