Any possible trouble with the strikers

interrupted wires from Mexico this
morning has indicated that q second
big battle between the federal forces
and the revolutionists is now In full
sway few miles to the east Of La

the victorious revolutionists of yester-
days conflict and an entirely different
set OF federal troops. which had been
rushing TO the support OF General Ma
varrO al La Junta, but were not there
in time to save him from his complete
defeat
For the last forty-eight hours it is
known beyond any doubt the govern
n-ent has been Trying TO rush troops
from every point TO la Junta- or that
neighborhOod. and today the officials
make no secret that this is still the
objective point Of the main military
movement
The battle Of La JUnta is reported TO
have resulted in the killing or capturing
Of the complete forces Of General Ma
varro, but the details Of It have not
come in from across the border That
II was q revolutionary victory there Is
no doubt. however.
Meanwhile there was marching to the
support OF General Navarro troops from
many points. It IS these reserve troops
with whom the reported battle Of today
IS being fought
The principal force of these supports
was that which left Chihuahua Friday,
and passed through F'alomir yesterday,
so It would be IN the center Of hOStilities
today No report has yet been received
locating the federal forces which yes
terday were hurrying toward La Junta
from Jeminez, where they left the rail-
road.
