 Captain zuniga, his aide-de- camp, who rode a pace behind him in tl-c charge, also was wounded in the thigh and sent to join his chief in an Ei Paso hospital.
 It was declared at military head quarters here tonight that the attack was in fact raid in force and prelim- mary to a general engagement to D. gin at sundown. Villa was reported to have obtained two field pieces from the American side early today, having been smuggled over at the Zaragossa ford, and was preparing to lombard the fort on Hidalgo hill, which has been firing solid shot into the rebel ranks at an average rate of one each four minutes for more than two hours. Villa was also believed to have on- talned additional ammunition supplies from across the border, as his agents were known to have been busy all night.
 After the federals had completed the pivotal movement to the south and east, they returned to their original positions with their left resting on the south abutment of the Mexican Central steel railroad bridge.
 hlfle firing continued heavy after ' o'clock, the hardest fighting appar- ently occurring to the south and a few points west of south in the trenches to the left of Fort Hidalgo. Soon after ' o'clock this developed into an attack Of force, and at points along the line approached hand-to-h hand fighting.
 Street Fighting Vicious
 Street fighting was the rule during the battle tonight and the resulting casualties were heavy. No estimate could be arrived at for the losses on either side, as neither federal nor rebel troops have yet had chance 10 bury their dead or aid the wounded

U. S. lakes Prisoners

FL PASO, Tex, June 15.-Francisco Villas rebel band was stationed in the Juarez race track, 30 minutes before
 American artillery opened fire on the grand stand tonight at 12:90, it was announced at military headquarters. It
 was not known whether or not Villa
 was there personally.
 Shrapnel shells were bursting over and around the race track grandstand lat the rate of three a minute from 12:30 until 1 o'clock. After Colonel
 MerrilIs S2nd artillery battalion ob- tained the range with the first shot fired every shot was hit. and the race track, infield and paddock, where the Villa troops were known to be, were
 showered with shrapnel.
 The cavalry brigade advanced as closely to the race track as Colonel Tompkins, the brigade commander
 dared, and still keep out of range of
 the shrapnel fire. The purpose of the lenveleSing movement was stated at headquarters to prevent the Villa forces from escaping southeast to the
 mountains or in crossing into the
 American side of the border, where they might harm individual Ameri cans. No reports had been received at military headquarters at 1 o'clock, as to the number of Villa prisoners cap tured by the American cavalry, but
 many are expected to be brought back across the river before morning and in termed at Fort Bliss.
 One wing of the American cavalry
 is commanded by Colonel James J.
 Hornbrook, commander of the fifth
 cavalry. He is in command of the extreme left wing, which is completing the enveloping movement and his cav alrymen are executing a clever piece of stratgy in conjunction with the other cavalry troops, by completely envelop- ing the Villa positions. The expedi- tionary force is being supported by the 18th infantry battalion, the ninth en- gineers and other detachments from Fort Bliss and the border camps.

 General Erwin's official statement, issued exclusively to the Associated Press, stating the cause for the cross ing Of the American troops, read:
 ERWiN'S PROVOCATIoN
 "Upon the affidavits of three reput- able citizens of Fl Paso, that the vl- Iistas fired into Fl Paso and, upon the Mexican girl in Fl Paso, showing she was wounded by a shot fired by Vllistas and, when upon investigation by the district inspector at headqusr- ters and two officers of the police force of Fl Paso, it was shown that shots undoubtedly coming from the direction of the Villista forces had been fired into Fl Paso.
 Further, because of the wounding of several innocent and law abiding per sons residing in Fl Paso, and the wounding of two United States soldiers who, in the discharge of their duty, this all on June IA and June 15, there fore, under the authority given me in teIegrams from the headquarters of the southern department, June 12, 1919, ordered troops of my command to cross the border and disperse the ViI listas. But, upon no account were they to undertake an invasion into Mexico.
 "As soon as have accomplished and have assured the safety of the citizens of FL Paso, then the troops of my command will be withdrawn to the American side of the border" 1 ALL IS UNDERSTOOD 1 Immediately preceding the crossing l by American troops, conference be- tween American Consul E. A. Dow and Mexican federal and American army officers was held at the inter national bridge, at which conference the purpose of the crossing was ex- pained to the American consul in Juarez, and to the military officer of the Carranza garrison, in order that they might make it clear to General Francisco Gonzales, supreme comman- der of the forces in the Juarez district.
 "l anticipate no kind of misunder- standing with General Gonzales and the otner CarrdhZa oITictaiSy 1enerds Erwin stated at midnight.
 "The fact that our troops are now | in Mexico and the Twenty fourth in fantry battalion is on the main street of the town, without shot having been fired at them, is indication of the attitude they have toward our troops" the commander added.
 It became known tonight that the troops were all ready to proceed to Juarez last night, and only what was described as change of circumstances prevented the order having been issued at that time.
