Laredo, Texas, Nov. 1>.?Warfare without quarter, with the opposing armies burning and dynamiting all that seemed to stand In the way to victory, has been waged at Monterey, Mexico, between the defending fed? erals and besieging constitutionalists. Some of the fierceness of the struggle, particularly in the engagements of October U3 and L'4, when the consti? tutionalists occupied a large portion of the city, is pictured in Sciz-Zag, an illustrated weekly p v.. dished at Mon? terey, copies of which reached Laredo today. Many bodies were left waiting in the streets until a lull in the lighting. A view of Cuahautemo street, near the National railway station, where the conflict centered, showed an en? tire block destroyed by lire and can onading, with numerous dead in the ruins. Qen. Miguel, whose residence was one of the finest in northern Mexico, was burned to death when constitu? tionalists burned the house. Consti? tutionalists captured the barracks of the first federal battalion and used it for an arsenal, but lost their ad? vantage when federal torpedo wrecked the building. The north fa>< cade of the government palace wtut Shot away. The property loss was said to bo Incalculable, but the railway lines claim their damage will amount to $700,000. In the railroad yards 0S8 cars were burned. Mary of them wore loaded with merchandise. The round house and more than 20 en? gines was destroyed. No estimate was given of the loss of life, but it is known to be heavy. 'COTTON GINNED TO NOV. 1. REPORT snows NUMBER BALES AT ?,835,913.
