 chiaPas Reported Coming.
 1t vas learned last night that Don Francisco Chiapas. prefect of the district of Moctezuma, who distin- guished himself in the battle of Sa- huaripa, had left Moctezuma with 300 men to come up the Bayispe river to head of any possible retreat Blaneo might attempt to make down that river. It became known several days ago that Chiapas had sent a letter. to Blanco telling him that he would get him" if he did not leave his district and the state of So nora

 A report was current in Douglas this morning that General Torres, military commander of the state of Sonora. was expected at Agua Prieta today or tomorrow.

 Aloysius Coll left Douglas at 5:3o this morning for Galardo ranch, in lanticipation of seeing and reporting for the Associated Press the expect ed battle.

Coll then returned , to Douglas.
 That the size of Blanco's force has been over-estimated by those who visited his camp appears certain from information received yesteT- day. A young man named Valencia. formerly of Moctezuma. and who was in the battle of Casas Grandes. and came from Chihuahua to Blanco's camp, was in the city yesterday. He stated that the insurrecto force was far below the numbers that had been given out, and was not much in ex cess of 400, instead of being twice that size There would appear to have been assertions also. One de serter was in Douglas last night and reported that he was one of sev- eral that had tired of the policy of inaction and decided to cult
 Valencia Diseusted.

He speaks excellent En gIish and talked freely with those whom he knew here. Valencia stat ed that he was thoroughly disgnsted with Blanco. who had made 8 perfect fiasco in his Sonora operations. He stated that he was going to seek g junction with Madero an3 he left foI Fl Paso this morning for that pur l pose. Valencia said that Lopez and Blanco had seperated and that Elan GO vas retiring.
