El Paso. Tex., Nov. 2(. Evidence
that the Mexican rebels defending the
city of Juarez, just across the border
from here, considered all danger of
further attack from the government
forces as past was given today by the
digging up of mines near the Juarez
Jockey club which is to open the rac
ing season tomorrow and the instruc
tion of barbed w-ire defenses erected arranged by
to hohi the Federals in cheek. mittee.3 from
General Villa, the rebel commander. T
still maintained that the Federals Reception
were in full and shameless retreat", i Hotel from :
over the hills, their trains and field U. C.
pieces in his possession. No firing had giving
been heard to the south of Juarez this
morning up to J' o'clock.
Thus it appears that after thirty
hours of fighting the rebel captors of
the city had flung back the Federal
assault and would l?3d the border
city without dispute. General Villa
said he would pursue the Federal at
once but he is known to lack ammu
nition and will be forced to delay re
gardless of his inclinations in the mat
ter. He maintained that a sufficient rebel
force is now besigeing Chihuahua to
prevent the retreating Federal mak
ing their way into the state capital. If
he has captured all their trains the
enemy is left without food or means
of transportation in a desert and 200
miles from its base.
The total dead in the battle are es
timated at about 300: the wounded
many more than this. This was mere
guesswork as no Americans have been
over the field and a fog v.7 as hanging
over everything this morning. The
American Red Cross has failed to re
spond to the appeals for aid made by
the rebels' officials yesterday and an
effort will be made to obtain money
from other sources to enable and the
El Paso doctors and nurses to care
for the wounded.
So far only men wounded on the
head and body have been cared for.:
Broken arms and legs and flesh )
wounds have received no attention.
The wounded bandaged their hurts
as best they could on the field with
clothing, handkerchiefs or anything
that would staunch the flow of blood.
In several instances men were seen
to cut bullets from their own flesh
with pocket knives that had been dull
ed by usage in camp any upon the
march.
