HEAVY BLOW INFLICTED
UPON VILLA ARMY.
Bombardment of Matamoros Was a
Complete Failure.

Brownsville, Tex, April 13.-In a
Sortie by 1900 of the Carranaz garri-
son at Matamoros today a heavy blow
was inflicted upon the Villa army be-
sieging them. General Saulo Navarro,
second in command of the Villa troops,
was brought to Brownsville tonight,
dangerously wounded. and the Carran-
"a consulate here claimed the Villa
dead numbered 800. The sortie drew
from the Villa forces their long
promised shelling of Matamoros, but
the firing ceased when the Carranza
garrison returned to the trenches with
the positions of the armies virtually
unchanged.
During the bombardment eight shells
passed completely over Matamoros and
four others dropped in the city, where
they did little damage and caused no
known casualties. The shelling DEM
onstrated that SO long as the Villa
cannon retain their present positions
to the extreme west of Matamoros,
Brownsville probably is safe from shell
fire.
The last shots from the Villa arti1-
lery were fired late today when a train
Of freight cars, armed with machine
guns. attempted to leave Matamoros,
IN the direction Of the Villa lines. The
Villa guns dropped two shells close to
the train, whereupon the engineer
backed into Matamoros.
Both factions refused all day and
tonight to permit persons to cross the
river from Brownsville to obtain direct
nesw Of the fighting, and both claimed
to have won the fight. Villa officers
said the sortie first drove in the Villa
outposts, but that the Carranza troops
retreated when the Villa cavalry
brought up its main force.
The Villa troops were known to have
some dead and wounded, but they de-
MED the number was 800.
Colonel A. P. Blocksom in charge of
the United States border patrol here,
arranged to guard the American side
Of the river closely tonight. Extra
