WITH MEX|CANS
FIGHTING FOLLOWS EFFORT OF
CUSTOM OFFICIAL TO SMUGGLE
cOUNTRYMAN ACROSS BORDER.
Combat Lasts For an Hour, Two Amer
leans Being Killed and Twenty
nine Wounded, the Mexican Loss
Being More Than Hundred.

NOgales, Ariz-Trouble flared up
anew on the border Tuesday. when
Mexicans began fight with American
troops which resulted in a real battle
in which civilians also took part.
Two Americans were killed, twenty
nine wounded and more than 500
American troops were engaged before
the battle was ended. Casualties on
the Mexican side were more than 100
killed and wounded
The fighting followed the alleged eff
forts of a Mexican custom officer to
smuggle a fellow-countryman across
the boundary into the United States.
An American sentry attempted to stop
him. Two Mexicans fired at the sentry
across the street, striking him in the
right arm. The fire was returned by
American patrols and after Mexicans
had rushed from nearby buildings and
started shooting across the line from
behind buildings and walls, the firing
became general.
Reinforcements from an infantry
regiment and a negro cavalry regiment
were rushed to the border and took
up combat positions. 1t was estimated
more shan 300 American soldiers and
at least 30 civilians participated in
the shooting. 1t was reported that
detachment of cavalry crossed the Dor
der In pursuit of the NLexicans, but
this was not confirmed.
White Flag Displayed by Mexicans.
AT 3 80 white flag was displayed
by the Mexicans, a parley followed.
but the sniping continued until after
I o'clock. Bullets fell in Nogales and
civilians were ordered to remain in
doors and without the zone of fire.
Adobe houses, because their walls can
not be pierced by high power bullets
were especially popular and many
families spent the night in these
buildings with friends.
As soon as the firing became gen
eral, calls were sent to Douglas. Ariz..
Fort Huachuca and outpost points.
The mayor of Nogales. Sonora, re-
ported to have been killed, was Felix
Penaloza. His death has not been con-
firmed. although he was known to have
been in the thick of the fighting.

WHEN SUBMARINE TOR
PEDOES STEAMER.
Huns Fire on Boats Being Lowered
from Doomed Vessel and Run
Down Boats That Had Been
Successfully Launched.

London.-Details of the sinking of
the French steamer Lydiana off the
north coast of Spain on July 10 shows
that the crew of the German submarine
deliberately murdered most of the 80
persons lost. There were only eight
survivors out of the 46 of the crew and
passengers on board.
The U-boat torpedoed the vessel
without warning. killing several of the
crew. While boat was being lowered
second torpedo struck and the boat
was torn from its davits, but she kept
her keel. Seeing this, the submarine
rammed her and cut her in two. The
enemy then turned and rammed II sec
ond boat which had been launched sue
cessfully. A young woman of %, one
of the passengers, was thrown high In
the air by the impact and killed. The
captain was also killed in the same
crash.
The Germans then endeavored TO
sink Il raft carrying the remaining sur
vivors. AT first their efforts were with
out success. When one of the ships
officers left the raft to swim back to
the sinking Lydiana the submarine
turned and the officer was killed by its
propellers.
After finally disposing of the Lydi-
ana by shellfire the U-boat made Il
sixth and successful attempt to ram
the raft, amid laughter from the
U-boat's captain and crew.
The eight survivors were picked up
from the sea by patrol boats.
