that lie was needed in the campaign
on Saltillo, and the Carranza brigade
was sent back to Monterey.
All Americans have been taken
aboard the United States warships,
but other foreigners are scattered
throughout the oil well district. 1t
was this section of the battlefield that
the United States government sug'
gested should be made a neutral zone
The Constitutionalist generals refused
to adopt this suggestion.

fired by stray shots, the rebel artil
lerymen hurled shot after shot from
twenty heavy field-guns into the
strongly-entrenched position held by
General Ignacio Morelos Zaragonza

of the town. sweeping the breastworks
with hail of shrapnel in an effort
to open the way for dash by Gen
eral Pablo Gonzales infantry.

rama, the Constitutionalists were on
equal terms with the Federals In the
matter Of artillery.
The twenty French field guns cap
tured by General Gonzales at Monte
rey and placed in position before Tam
pico have done tremendous execution
