Forces-UprisiBg as Yet Local.

Fl Paso. Tex. Dec. 2o-The Mexican
governments effort to commander a
railroad and send re-enforcements into
the disturbed region OF Western Chihua-
hua has proved an utter failure. The
first train sent out was attacked. and re-
turned with twenty-one dead and forty
two wounded. including Col. Guzman, the
commander. Although they carried noun
tain guns with them. the troops were I'M
able 10 use them. They were ambushed
and riddled by the fire Of the rebels from
all sides.
The ainbuscade took place in pass at
Malpaso. The Federal troops poured out
of the cars and stood their ground for five
hours. but had 10 retire. This was re-
ported by Mexican officials earlier In the
week as a victory, but when the train re-
turned to Chihuahua to-day with forty
two wounded on it. admission was made
that the train ran into an ambuscade, and
Gen. Hernandez declared that no further
efforts would be made 10 send REINFORCE
ments by train
Tear Up Tracks.
The rebels have torn up several miles
OF railroad tracks near Malpaso, As a
result the transport station is now bloelss
ed into and out of Chihuahua, and the
Americans al Madero and other local.
ties are marooned for Christmas.
The train that was ambushed at Nal
paso had on board go troops and three
field pieces. the latter on coal car. The
official report OF Col. Guzman, who was
wounded, states that Il were killed, A.
wounded. and ] are missing. That the
rebels ranks are gaining daily is a GER
tainty. From 90 10 500 Mexicans are go
ing into Mexico from the United States
through this port every night, and many
of them openly declare that they are
going TO join the revolutionists-
Late this afternoon a telegram was re-
ceived in Mexico City by the family OF
Mai. Robes. saying that the officer was
seriously wounded yesterday in battle
with the rebels at Malpaso. No further
details Of the battle are obtainable. and
the telegram is the first news Of another
battle at that place.
