Indescribable Panic On Ancona Re.
sponsible for Loss of Many Lives
London Dispatch, 11th.
.The Italian steamer Ancona wasnot
sunk without warning according to in
formation obtained from survivors
landed at Malta by the Reuter cor
respondent and cabled here. The Aus
trian submarine which overhauled her
after a long stern chase gave the
commander a brief respite to permit
the removal of passengers but the
indescribable panic which began
among the immigrants on board as
soon as the 'underwater craft was
sighted was responsible for the loss
of many lives. In a mad rush for
safety, men, women and children ov
erwhelmed the boats, several of
which were overturned .before they
could be lowered. Many of the oc
cupants fell into the sea and were
drowned. Passengers agree, the cor
respondent says, that shots fired
around -theBteamer-bythe-submarine
apparently to hasten the loading of
the boats, added to the panic.
Horace Jones, the negro who while
a "trusty" in the Wake county con
vict camp entered the home of As
sociate Justice Hoke of the Supreme
Court while the family were at sup
per and stole a quantity of jewelry
and other valuables, was given 20
years in the Satte prison by Judge
Peebles in Wake Superior Court last
week. Jones Js believed to have com
mitted a number of other burglaries
while enjoying the privileges of a
"trusty". ' .. L

ON THE MEXICAN BORDER
A Robeson County Boy With Uncle
Sam's Troops On the Border In
the Trenches The Battle of Agua
Prieta.
Correspondence of The Robesonian.
U. S. Army Camp, Douglas, Ariz.,
Nov. 2 It seems to be war time
here . The battle of Agua Prieta was
just' across the border from us. Sat
urday afternoon we were called out
3 miles east of camp to dig trenches
and did not get them completed and
menced to finish them up. At 2
p. m. Villa's troops' , commenced
marching in just across the line, and
we didn't hesitate to get busy in our
trenches. We struck rock and had
to blast it. But Monday a. m. 9
o'clock we got them finished, and
at 1 :30 p; m. Carranza's troops at
Agua Prieta opened fire with heavy
artillery. At 4 o clock the rille fire
began between them and last night
it was a rear of cannon and rifle
fire from both sides and has
been going on all day This p.
m, 5:15, they, commenced heavy can
non fire but jt only lasted 40 min
utes. .
I am not situated near enough to
give you much news for I am in
trenches 4 miles from the battle
front. We have 4 1-2 miles of
trenches and spent last night in the
trenches on guard to keep Villa's
soldiers from coming across the bor
der. But we caught 2 yesterday
just after the battle commenced.
They said they hadn't had any food
for 48 hours, no water, either, and
wrrjave thenrsomefouroodand
nourished them up and after night
fall we carried them back to the bor
der line and put them back through
and told them to vamose.
Out at our trenches wd can't hear
much of the rifle fire, but I am in
camp now for an indefinite time and
can hear the rifles and machine guns
barking.
Gen. Villa asked Gen. Funston.
who took us in charge this p. m. to
move the United States soldiers back
from the border line bo he could take
Agua Prieta for ( Carranza soldiers
in Agua Prieta are well entrenched,
and he said that he could take the
town if he would move them, and
he immediately moved U. S. troops
five blocks back and told him to go
to it, and now there is a heavy fire
from both sides.
The 22d holds position on the left
flank and the famous old M company
is on the extreme left flank. I think
Gen. Davis was a wise member for
placing us so far away from the bat
tle. There has been reported 6
American soldiers shot in the legs
by Carranza's troops, said they mis
took them for Villa soldiers; and
several sharpnels have fallen m
Douglass, according to the Douglass
Dispatch of Tuesday morning, Nov.
2d, but not doing any damage.
Gen. Villa says if he don t succeed
in taking Agua Prieta it is his last
chance, for his men are without food
and water, about 13000 of them. He
was lokin for the Yaqui Indians to
come to his support from the west
side of the town. .
Well, guess I had better drop off
the war question- for you Robeson
people are too well pleased with this
year's crops and prices to read about
war. But 1 will write again if you
all want the news of the war, if this
don t find its way to the waste bas
ket. The dear eld paper came to
me in the trenches yesterday.

Wonder how the coast artilleryman
Mr. Helgram of Ft. Wright, New
York, would like to be on the Mex
ican border where he could watch the
battle? Like us, with a trusty 3030
cal. rifle on his shoulder with 5 steel
jackets in the magazine.
Well. "Aunt Becky", come often
er. "Rebel Kid", wnere have you
gone? You had better answer this.
All the correspondents, come often,
for I like the news from dear old
Robeson . ' Attiose,

We are sure our readers will join
us in hoping that Mr. McLean will
write often. It adds interest to iicws
from the Mexican boder to have it
written by a boy from Robeson who
is now with Uncle Sam's boys. Ed
