The attack of the forces of General Luclo Blanco, the constitutionalist com mander, on the city of Matamoras began at 10:30 o'clock today, the attack being made in skirmish line order. The shoot ing was started by a small line of con stitutionalists visible from tho American hank of the Rio Grande, who were at tempting to gain the Matamoras electric light plant, a mile ottf of the city.

The entire forces of General Blanco, numbering about 1,800, are being brought Into the attack. The lines are approach ing the city from the west with appar ently the heaviest firing to the south of the city.

There was a lull in the firing, tho rebels 1 taking new posts for a hurried attack on ' the fortifications south of the light plant. I By capturing this plant they put out of I commission tho electric wire fence, which I the federals had claimed killed sixty of the enemy. One federal cannon was brought into action at the very start of the fight, but was given up after one shot had been fired from it into several small houses in which it was .thought rebels were Sliding.

One of the federals captured a few days ago by the rebelB was forced by them to give the location of dynamite mines planted near the light plant. One mlno was fired without any injury so far as can be learned. Two Mexicans watching the fighting ' from the American side were hurt by stray bullets. Both wounded men are in a serious condition.
