Cananea Mines Surrounded by Mexican Insurrectos — Attack Near.

    NOGALES, Ariz., Sept. 1.— According to advices received here to-day, rebels have surrounded Cananea, where many Americans are located at the copper camps, and an attack is imminent. Bridges leading to the east have been burned by the invaders.
    An appeal for aid was received by Federal officials to-day from Mrs. Sarah Wood, Southern Pacific agent at Santa Crux, for herself and daughter. She said that rebels occupied the town yesterday. Shortly after her message was received the wires were cut.
