Ell Paso, Tex, Nov. 22.-Real revo-
luton is now in progress in the state OF
Chihauhau.
Bloody Fighting between loyal troops
and insurgents is reported from many
places there. A pitched battle is be-
lieved to be impending at Parral, where
band OF revolutionists seized dyna-
mite boat, took ali OF the explosives
and made for the hills. A trainload OF
infantry reached the scene early today
and at last accounts was about to at
tack the miners, who are said to be en-
trenched.
A party OF the revolutionists attacked
the prison at Acambaro, Guanjato, and
liberated the prisoners. They then
looted the shops and secured arms and
ammunition. The party then marched
to the municipal palace, and after driv-
ing out the officials blew open the safes
snd carried away all OF the funds.
While they were leaving the palace
detachment OF infantry arrived, and
fighting began which soon became fast
and furious, Finally the unorganized
mob fled in every direction leaving
many dead and wounded behind. 1t
is said that Is persons were killed.
Mexico City, Nov. 22.-The result
OF the fighting during the night at
Durango, a city OF SO, 900, north of the
state OF Topic, in Central Mexico, is
withheld today by military officials who
control the last remaining telegraph
wire TO the capital.
Clashes between government troops
and agitators commenced before 6 p.
m. after which telegraph wires were cut.
1t is feared that with the approach OF
darkness the situation grew in inten-
sity and rioting doubtless continued
through the night.
Authorities here believe the isolation
OF Durango, so far as outside communl-
cation is concerned, is chargeable TO
reyolutionaries.
Ell Paso, Tex, Nov. 22.-UnoiIicial
advices received here say that the gov
eminent troops have been successful in
the fighting near Parral, Chihuahua.
The infantry that was sent TO attack
the reyolutionists and miners there
reached the town during the night and
a running fight began which lasted
until today. The revolutionists finally
retired, leaving behind dozen killed
and number wounded. The casual
ties OF the government troops we're re-
ported to be slight.
Secret adyices from the interior,
reaching here early today, declared
that the revolutionists near Cananea
have enlisted the aid of Yaqui Indians,
who have been at war with the govern
ment for years and that between LOCO
and 1000 Indians will soon take the
field under revolutionary leaders.
A renewal of fighting at Puebla and
several other points is reported today.
The rebels are said to have cut the
wires above Monterey, making 1t i'm
possible to get any definite adyices
from that section.
FL Paso, Tex, Nov. o. Porhno
Diaz, president OF Mexico, will be a
fugitive within a month, with a price
upon his head.
Elated by tales Of revolutionary sue
cesses throughout all the northern
states of Mexico, Senior Laura Aguirro,
a prominent anti-Diaz Mexican, whom
the Diaz government has several times
attempted to arrest within the past two
years, made this prediction today. He
said that from private information, the
revolution which today has all the
north OF Mexico aAame, was so well
organized and armed that the downfall
OF Diaz is a certainty.
Monctova, Mex, Nov. 22.-(vla

ing we're received here today from
