CASUALTIES MUST OCCUR
Strong Measures to Be Used to
Protect Lives and Property of

Agua Prieta, Mexico. —With an at
tack momentarily expected on the' 1,-
000 insurrectos holding Agua Prieta,
rseidents of Douglas, fearful of a re
petition of the occurrences attendant
on the battle Wednesday when Doug
las was bullet swept and two Amer
icans were killed and eleven wounded
In the city, pin their faith to the abil
ity of Captain Julian E. Gaujot and
his hundred troopers of the First Cav
alry to compel the federals to at
tack from a direction that will place
Douglas out of the line of fire.
Commanders Agree.
The rebel commanders last night
agreed to do their share in protect
ing the American city, of which Agua
Prieta is practically a part, but point
ed out that if the federals attack
from the south shots would be cer
tain to enter Douglas. As the attack
ing force carries several machine guns
loss in Douglas in this event would
be heavy.
The federals will be Informed by
Captain Gaujot that they must fire
from such a position that no bullets
fall upon American territory, and that
in case either side fires across the
line, the United States cavalry will
be used to stop the fighting.
Strong Measures.
This is taken here to mean that
Capt. Gaujot has received orders to
use strong measures to protect lives
and property of Americans should
either side fire into Douglas.
Captain Gaujot will take steps to
prevent Americans from standing on
ts-e boundary in case of an attack.
.fjouglas is crowded with Americans,
who have come in from all points of
the southwest.
Land from Warship.
London.—The news cabled here from
Washington that a force of marines
with a maxim gun, from- the warship
Shearwater landed last Tuesday at
San Quentin, lower California, to Pro
tect that town against an attack of
Mexican insurgents, came as a com
plete surprise to the British foreign
office.
Nothing whatever has been heard
regarding the incident, was the state
ment given out this morning by the
secretary In charge of the foreign
office.
i
Race to Juarez.
El Paso, Texas.—With Col. Antonio
Robago at the head of a federal cav
alry force said to number from 300
to 1,500 advancing In Chihuahua, the
insurrectos moving on Juarez and the
garrison in that city making every
preparation for defense, civilian Jua
rez today is awaiting the outcome of
the rac between the marching forces.
If the insurrectos arrive first and
attack, It Is the opinion they will take
Juarez. On the other hand, should
Col. Robago arrive ahead of the reb
els it is predicted the insurrectos will
be successful or abandon the attempt
without any fighting.
If both forces arrive simultaneously
It is expected that one of the hottest
battles of the present revolution will
take place and that El Paso will be
in more danger than Douglas, Ariz.,
when Agua Prieta was attacked.
While the garrison at Juarez is
making preparations, Gen. Navarro,
the federal professes to
have no Information as to whether
the rebels are near Juarez. However,
his men are digging trenches and
scanning the surrounding country
from house to house and other van
tage points and waiting the arrival of
Col. Robagr/s force.
Question of Indemnity.
Washington, D. C, —The questions of
indemnity for the loss of American
life and property at Douglas, result
ing from the battle of Agua Prieta
have not been raised. They are mat
ters for the future, it is pointed out,
the pressing need at this time being
to see that no American settlement is
exposed to danger from either federal

RETIREMENT OF OR. HILL
REGRETTEBJT BERLIN
Ambassador Has Done Much to
Cement Ties of Friendship
Between U. S. and Germany.
EVerlin. —The retirement from the
German capital of Dr. David Jayne
Hill, whose resignation as ambassa
dor of the United States to Germany,
it was announced yesterday will be
come effective July 1, is regretted at
the foreign office, where the relations
between the government officials and
Dr. Hill have been of the very best. It
is felt here that Dr. Hill’s tenure of
the embassy has done much to further
German-American friendship.
The ambassador’s resignation ap
parently did not come wholly as a sur
prise though no official expression of
his intention to abandon the diplomatic
service had been received at the for
eign office at the time Dr. Hill left
Germany for America. Particular at
tention is called in official circles to
the fact that the relations between
Emperor William and the American
ambassador are most cordial.
American rumors to the effect that
Count Heinrich Von Bernstorff, the
German ambassador at Washington,
was simultaneously resigning which
• reports, it was thought might give po
litical significance to Dr. Hill’s re
tirement, were promptly and empha
tically denied at the foreign office.
The date upon which Ambassador
Hill's resignation becomes effective
w ill enable him to participate m the
reception which is being planned for
the visiting American warships during
Kiel week, and which promises to bo
one of the most important demonstra
tions of the German-American good
relations in recent years.

Disposition of Fifty Mexican
Federal Soldiers who Surren
dered. Presents a Problem.
WAR DEPT. AUTHORIZES
RATIONS AND SUPPLIES
No Statute Whereby United
States Can Hold Them is the
Impression.
Washington—The disposition of the
fifty Mexican federal soldiers who
surrendered at the battle of Agua
Prieta and are "in charge" of the Am
erican forces at Douglas, presents sin
intricate problem to the government.
The question of whether these men
should be interned and held as pris
oners is generally discussed by of
ficials here. The Impressions seems
to be that there is no statute under
the United States can hold the sol
diers especially in view of the fact
that this country does not recognize
the existence of a state of war in
Mexico.
The question probably will remain
in its present status until the Mexi
cans ask for their, release. Meanwhile
the American commanding officer at
Douglas has received from the war
department authority to provide
rations and everything necessary for
the comfort of the Mexicans "In his
charge."
Extremely delicate
The situation at Douglas from an
American standpoint is extremely deli
cate, according to reports received
by the war department today which
declare that the people of that town
are strongly pro-insurgent.
A strong patrol of American sol
diers have been thrown along the
border to preserve neautrality but
notwithstanding this itls assured that
some of the people of Douglas have
assisted the revolutionists with guns
and ammunition, where they have
been able to evade the patrol. Dur
ing the fight at Agua Prieta on Thurs
day the American troops and customs
officials confiscated thirteen rifles in
transport across the lino. Men also
were trying to cross the boundary.
