The attack was the first serious effort that the rebels have made to inter- fere with traffic between the capital and Vera Cruz, but their work was confined to looting and to burning oil cars. The train was stopped by a pile of rock just within the tunnel south of Espedanza on a shelf built around the mountain overlooking the Maltrara portion of the road. which is known to all tourists for ils scemic_beauty. The crew of the engine which was pushing the train escaped with the lo- gomotive and reported the attack from Maltrata. The men on the locomotive in front jumped and ran from the tun- wel, hiding among the rocks. Charge O'Shaughnessy Held Up. Charge O'Shaughnessy and his wife were on a train which left Vera Cruz t¢his morning. This train was stopped 8t Orizaba, where it remained all day, while the work of glearing the tracks of the burned cars was in progress. The charge had expected to arrive here before this morning.

Charges of Cowardice, Charges of cowardice were made against Orozeo, Salazar and Rojas. General Mercado said these generals abandoned their troops at the begin- ning of the battle and thus weakened the federal defense. The only generals who quit the bat- tlefield with honor, General Mercado sald, were those who accompanied the federal army across the Rio Grande. General Mercado reiterated that the federals were compelled to evacuate becalse of lack of ammunition. He said that when the retreat was ordered his soldiers had an average of only 78 cartridges. Villa in Full Possession. | Camped in Ojinaga. for the posses- sfon of which he had been fghting less than 24 hours previously, General Villa started the work of establishing rebel government. He telegraphed to General Carranza “I have proved my ability to capture Ojinaga.” ‘After the confusion incident to the evacuation of Ojinaga by one army and its occupation Dy another, the battle- field opposite Presidio at daylight re- vealed a scene of decolation. Wounded Left Neglected. The whole sweep of land leading to the heights of Ofinaga appeared to have been ploughed up by the frantic rout of the federal army and the eager Villa's rebels. the in a bloodstained sabre sticking in muddy riverbank, rifles thrown | heaps, the crumpled forms among the cactus and mosques, were among ine mute suggestions of what had gone before. Y6t thers were many living remind- ers of battle. Those who went across in behalf of thé Red Cross found many wounded Who had lain neglected for hours. Women Lose Their Children. The American army physicians be- lieved that many soldiers died because neither federals nor rebels had a hos- pital corps. The civilian refugees who rtushed across the river when General Mer cado went through the streets of Ojinaga, telling the people to flee, suf- fered as much distress as the soldiers. Scores of women camp followers had lost their children in the scramble and Were crying piteously in the corral provided for them on the American side. | Others were without clothing sufi- {cient to protect them from the cold and all were drenched from wadine through the river. The scene of dis- | order was almost as bad on the Amer- {ican side as on the Mexican. McNamee Seeks Instructions. Scores of federal guns had been | thrown into the river and were pro- | truding from the' mud.
