Preside, Texas, Dec. 31.-After with
standing bullets, shells and shrapnel
poured in on them from the rebels, the
federal army at ojinaga, Mexico, to-
night was still entrenched within the
experts with small hope of beating
back the attacking force.
General Torribio Ortega's 5000 rebels,
scattered over the surrounding hills,
after driving the 1000 Federals from
all their outposts and into the shelter
of the adobe buildings and inner
trenches, were beginning at shutdown
to advance their artillery with a view
to demolishing the horse corral and
other loopholed buildings, where the
bulk of the Federals were housed.
Numbers of the Federal officers, in
Guiding Gen Marcello Caraveo, COM
mander of volunteers, were reported to
have been killed or wounded. Much of
the rebel cavalry fire had no effect,
but when Gen. Ortega put into action
the field pieces brought from Chihua-
hua, the outlying adobe houses crumb-
led into heaps of dried mud. leaving
a clearer range into the heart of the
settlement. How many dead or wound
ed resulted from the preliminary skir-
mishes with the field pieces Ii was i'm
possible to learn, but the losses from
that cause were not believed to be
heavy, as most of the huts had been
abandoned by the Federals for safer
positions The Federals, though infe-
rior in numbers had the advantage in
position, because from the village they
were able to sweep the valley COM
smanding the approach. Despite the be-
lief that they were running short OF
ammunition, the Federals showed a
revived determination to make a
plucky stand.
