Flames by Rebel Fire.
NACo. Sonora, Mexico, April tp).--
A rebel monoplane appeared over Naco
this morning, dropped four bombs and
returned to its base at Del Rio. There
were no troop movements by the rebels
encamped before the Federal entrench-
ments here.
The loyal little garrison at Naco,
Sonora today made ready for the
major assault, which the revolu-
tionary Gen. Fausto Topete has prom
ised to make against it lat the proper
time"
Naco was left without fighting planes
as the result Of the shooting down OF
a federal bomber by Gen. Topete'S
forces yesterday, and the departure OF
the only other loyal plane here to Mex
ican. Lower California, for another sup
DIV of explosives. An aircraft
gun is installed in the Naco inches.
Bullets hit Gasoline Tank.
Capt. Juan Gutierrez. pilot. and
Lieut., Jesus Gaona, observer, met death
while bombing Topete's forces south
of here when they swooped too low
and were struck by tracer bullets from
rebel guns.
The tracer bullets evidently hit the
planes gasoline tank 1t burst into
flames and plunged toward the earth.
In split second there was terrific
explosion. The one bomb remaining
in the plane had exploded. The
bomber and It's occupants, torns to bits,
fell near the rebel lines.
Rebels Make Two Raids.
Rebel planes made two raids on Naco
yesterday, dropping eight bombs in the
morning and seven in the afternoon.
Little damage was done by the explo-
sives. Federal soldiers believe they
partially disabled the afternoon air
raider by ground firing.

were that he would hurl eight impro-
Evised tanks, 1000 irlfantrymen and 500
Ecavalrymen against Naco,s 1900 en-
ltrencfied federals when he considers
the time ripe.

1891 Programs of Three
Departments.

A. plan to make his estimates i'm
pregnable against reduction by the Dis
trict auditor, the Commissioners, the
Budget Bureau and NCongress was
started today by Capt. H. G. White
hurst, co-ordinator and chief engineer
of the Engineer Department.

ordinated the work of the highway,

the cutting of street pavements is min

be based on continuous highway prof.
ects, from grading to surfacing, inclu-
sive Of underground work.
The estimates will be put in such
shape under Capt. Whitehurst's plan
that If those who handle the budget de-
sire to make any cuts. they will be re-
quired to eliminate corresponding items
