REBELS REPULSE FEDERAL ATTACK

oo Mexican Bonier.

TRY TO RETAKE A6UA PRIETI

Rain of Bullets Fall* in Douglas, Ariz., and a Number of Americana

Are Wounded.

Agua Prieta, Mex., April 18.—The most important battle of the Mexican revolution was fought here between. 1,600 federals under Command-Of'Lieu­tenant Colonel Diaz and 1,000 rebels under Balasario Garcia and resulted in, the repulse of the former.

The 1)31116, however, was not finally decisive. It lasted from 6:30 a. m. un­til sundown. At nightfall two federal machine guns were in possession of the rebels and the federals had sus­tained a loss estimated by the rebels as at least 200 killed and wounded. The rebels gave their own loss at twenty.

Froin the beginning of the battle, regardless Of the warning given by the UnJtitd Jtotigk government to the lead#|$ wf b<rtn forces, a rain of bul­lets peered into the American town of Douglas, and when the day was over, it was found that seven non-combatant residents of that city had been wounded. It was a day almost of terror in Douglas.

Dawn revealed the federal forces formed in fan shaped battle line, in> the level cpuntry about a mile distant from Agua Prieta, with their machine guns in the center. They gave notice to the enemy of their approach with, a hail of bullets from the machine guns, supported by rifle fire, their evi­dent intention being to gain the in­ternational line with its adobe guard­houses and from thiB vantage ground turn their fire upon the rebels.

Federal Fire Very Severe. The insurrectos directed their Are

at the crews manning the machine guns. But the fire of the federals was so fierce that it forced the rebels back to their Second line of intrenchmentB.

The federals advanced slowly. AM they came nearer the fire of the rebels became more effective. Leaving the protection or their breastworks they moved out into the open, continuing t» concentrate their fire upon the mar chineguaa.

The federals, finding* the rebel de~ fenee after three hours' fighting too strong to enable them to carry the treaches, began to retreat; Pr^i^ly the machine guns were silenced. Sharpshooters had m&de it impossible longer to man them. Sheer exhaus­tion occasionally caused a partial lpli in the fighting.

At 11 o'clock the repulsed federals had reformed and again advanced to gain the boundary line; masking their movement with heavy rifle fire. The machine guns were silent. The rebels, encouraged by their early success, re­turned the fire eagerly. The interval had been, employed by the rebels ia erecting new entrenchments.

The advance guard of the federals in this attack consisted of fifty caval­rymen and 300 infantry. Behind them was a supporting party that kept un­der cover of trees and bushes.

Endless Stream of Bullets. The federals reserved their fire but

an unceasing stream of bullets poured from'the trenches. ; These, striking the dry earth, made it appear as though a'dusrt' fctOrm were* raging: and for a tiifie' Sfefved to obscure 'a view, of the convict. -- Advancing federals again found th& strength and determination of tlte in-«torrect<|j$: |po, grfeat fjpr tjiem. They fell back,' hut. in' good" order, firing as they retired, and left the field and their two; machine guns in the pos­session of the enemy.

More than half of Douglas was un­der fire from the beginning until the end of the battle. The United States custom house was in the direct range of the attack and the United States soldiers near there were forced to seek shelter.

When the battle began. Colonel Will-lam A. Shunk, commanding the United States troops, rushed his four troops of cavalry to the line and took every possible precaution for the safety of the citizens of Douglas, keeping them out of that portion of the city which was considered to be most exposed. This, however, did not avail to save Americans from injury.
