El Paso, Tex., Feb. (i.—Just before
dawn Sunday morning signal fires
blazcjjl on the hills south of Juarefc
for ten minutes jqul were then ex-
tinguished..
It was the signal of the insurrectos
tliajt a battle was about to begin, and
soon after sunrise heavy firing
marked where Orozco engaged the
forces of Gen. ltabago, which were
coming to the relief of Juarez.
Gen. Rabago was coming into
Juarez from Cascas Grandes with a
troop train carrying 350 men and
220 horses. Nineteen kilometers
eifst of Juarez the insurrectos duell-
ed the train and opened fire on the
Federal troops as they detrawied.
The fighting began near Bauche, a
station of the Mexico Northwestern
Railway, seventeen miles south of
El Paso, and near where that road
dosses tlie line of the Mexican
Central.
Rabago rallied his men and re-
pulsed the Insurrectos, who with-
drew only to renew the fighting
within a short time. The fighting |
continued at intervals dll day. Ra-j
bago found defenses for his men in
the town of^Bauche from which tlie
insurrectos failed to dislodge them.
Last night Rabago, began tlie
march to Juarez, fighting as In-
comes, but the insurrectos dogged
his footsteps and kept up an inter-
mittent fire.
The battle was viewed by corres-
pondents from the mountain tops
and report that the inrurrectds were
riding about circles about tlie
federals at abWt the distance of one
mile, firing volleys every few min-
utes.
Rabago arrived with his troops in
Juarez shortly after 9 o'clock last
night.
The .Mexican federal authorities
report that Gen. Navarro is advanc-
ing In Orozco's rear with a force of
GOO men.
It is stated here that Rabago
commandeered the train of the
Mexican Northwestern Railway,
hound to El Paso front Cascas
Grandes, unloaded the passengers
and put his troops aboard. Conduc-
tor Webster, an American citizen,
who was in charge of the train, and
protested that he was an American
and did not want to run "a troop
train. Rabago is quoted as saying
that he Had orders to use the train
and that the two governments would J
settle any question ot citizenship.
A Red Cross train left 1-31 Paso
Sunday morning to go to the assis-
tance of the wounded in tlie battle.
It returned last night and the Red
Cross people said that both tlie fed-

fired upon the train. An American!,'
who went into Juarez to volunteer
j as a Red Cross nurse has just been
arrested for reasons not yet known.
From men in the train occupied
by Rabago it is learneu that when
the train was stopped the soldiers
immediately prepared for batue and
began putting out a heavy skirmish
line on either side of the train, while
others took a machine gun off the
train and began mounting it behind
the embankment.

Revolution Gains.
Washington, 1>. C., Feb. G. - -The
.Mexican revolutionists have captured
the town of San Ignacio, opposite
Fcrt Hancock, Texas, according to a
telegram at the state department to-
day, received from C. P. Diaz. The
American consul at Monterey also
telegraphed that the revolution Is
growing mory furious in Chihuahua
Federal [Irons Height.
El Paso, Feb. G.—-Lusk lias played
with the Diaz troops and it is believ-
ed here today that the insurrectos
cannot capture Juarez unless rein-
forcements under .Manias, the rebel
leader of Chihuahua, come quickly.
Yesterday's reverse when Orozco at-
tempted to cut off Rabago aud
three hundred federals was a sad
blow to lie rebel leader as the gar-
rison'- strength was double 1 :>y the
arrival of Rabago with two maciii"e
guns, rifles and ammunition. Navarro
with seven hundred federals is re-
ported marching northward to aid
Rabago. It is believed .Manias is de-
ferring a juncture with Orczco and
trying to cut off Navarro. A skirmish
took place yi South Juarez early to-
day. A garrison detachment engag-
ed Orozco's scouts. The federals fin-
ally withdrew. Navarro is expected at
Juarez today, lie left Sallego vester-

Texarkana, Tex., held a meeting Sat-
urday night and rescinded the call,
Orevlouslv issued, fora primary elec-
tion on Feb. 21 to nominate two can-
didates for commissioner under the
new charter. This action was due
to the uncertain fate of the propos-
ed charter, which recently passed
both houses of tin legislature, but
which Gov. .Colquitt refuses to sign
because of the recall feature.
Two candidates had announced for
the two commiseiouerships.

PRIZES OFFERED BY
INDUSTRIAL CONGRESS
Dallas, Feb. G. The offer by the
Texas Industrial Congress of
in gold prizes for the best yields of
com and cotton produced by the
farmers of Texas during IP 11. has
met with a hearty response and al-
though it has been less than thirty
days since this proposition was made
Public contestants have already en-
tered from thirty-one counties as
follows: Baylor, Bell, Collin, Cole-
man, Cooke, Cass, Clay, Dallas.
Ernth, Eastland, Fannin, Foard,
Falls, Fayette, Grayson, Gonzales,
Harrison, Hamilton, Hopkins, Hill,
Hunt, Lavaca, Limestone, McLennon,
Palp Pinto, Parker, Smith. Tarrant,
Van Zandt,'Williamson and Wise,
One of the contestants is a Woman,
seventy years of age, - who lives in
l-vaea county; another is a Miirteen
ty. As contestants are required only
to superintend the cultivation of
their crops, and do not have to do all
of the work themselves, each of
these eneries has a good chance of
being a prize winner. Another con-
testant, from Coryell county, gives
his age as seventy-eight.
V number of the commercial clubs
of the state have organized tb secur'd"
entries for this contest in (heir re-
spective communities, the McKinney
and Sulphur Springs commercial
clubs being especially active in this
respect.
