    EAGLE PASS, Texas, July 26.— Five hundred Federals, who made a sortie from Monclova yesterday, were driven back by Constitutionalistas, according to reports from Piedras Negras to-day. Heavy losses on both sides were reported.
    Federals were said to have put to death two well-known Mexican business men of Monclova, Francisco Delgado and Francisco Garza, because they sympathized with the Constitutionalistas.
    Preparations to resist a threatened attack on the Constitutionalist provincial capital, Piedras Negras, were made to-day. Federals were reported advancing along the Rio Grande from Nuevo Laredo. A Constitutionalist column was sent out to meet them.
