A report from Douglas .states that, in consequence of complaints regarding the killing and wounding of American citizens in Thursday's battle at Aguaprieta, President Taft is making representations to the Federal and insurrectionary leaders that they must fight future battles at a greater distance from the frontier. A report has been received by the' State Department to the effect that the British sloop Shearwater landed thirty bluejackets and a Maxim gun at San Quintiri, Mexico, to protect the town against a threatened attack by the rebels. This, however, did not materialise, and the bluejaeketß were withdrawn.
