AS was the case before, South
Wales is the storm center of the new

NEARLY 10000 men IN
BATTLE TODAY
Greatest Battle Of Mexican Rebellion Is Under Way-Hundreds
Killed ed-Federaists Driving Rebels Back, But General
Orozco Puts Up Stubborn Defense.
Associated Press.

Associated Press.
Ell Paso, Tex, May 11.-General
Orozco's advance guard of the rebel
army has been driven back toward
Escalon, which is the central base of
the insurrectos in northern Mexico.
Instead of being on the defensive,
the government troops for "a hours
pushed the attack vigorously, and
succeeded in forcing the rebels back
nearly 20 miles to Conejos, which is
about 200 miles south OF Chihuahua.
Peronal and other towns which had
been occupied by the rebels within
the past week have been evacuated.
These developments became known
at o'clock this morning. when an
interview by telegraph was arranged
between General Joaquin Teller, who
is at the staff headquarters of the
federal troops north of Bermijillo,
and the representative of the Asso-
ciated Press in this city.
II is learned that, since early yes
terday, when communication was es-
tablished with the headquarters of
General Huerta, the federal COM
mander in chief, the latter has ad
vanced nearly 80 miles. At daybreak
this morning General Huerta was
near Peronat.
Bringing up the rear are the fed
eral forces of General Rabago, while
toward the northwest General Trucy
Aubert, with 1000 men, threatens to
come due east to Esealon for the. pur-
pose OF fianking the main body of
the insurrectos under OrozcO.
The federal forces number nearly
10000 men, and the latest estimates
give Orozco several thousand fighting
men, with reserves estimated at 49,
900 men spread over the desert with
in a radius of rs miles.
The shortage of water and food is
having its effect on both armies, and
fever is prevalent among the soldiers.
The maneuvers of the last "a hours
indicate that General Salazar has
been driven back and closely pushed
by General Aubert from Cuatro Cien-
egas to Sierra Mojada. Salazar fed
back to Orozco's base at Escalon and
it is reported that he is wounded.
THE enemy are exhausted and
hungry" said General Teller over the
wire today. "They intended first to
get behind us going east to Cuatro
Cienegas, but the opportune arrival
of General Aubert intercepted them,
causing the loss of a hundred dead.
They were routed shamefully, and are
still being pursued.
"The enemy likewise was beaten
at Searagoza and Lahuillo on the
same day.
