REBELS WIN A
SEVERE BATTLE
Defeat Federals at Gomez
Palacio-Fight Lasts
Several Hours.

Belated reports Of the battle at Co
mez PalaciO Saturday and Sunday Of
day night, brought by a representative
Of one of the largest American com
panies having investments in Torreon.
It develops that the loss to the federal
volunteers was at least 3S killed,
while the rebels lost only % killed. A
photograph Of the federal dead show
ing 56 bodies is brought by the refugee.

elgn refugees and practically depict
ing the town Of Americans. These ref
ugees are beginning to arrive at san
Antonio. The journey was made with
out incident.
The battle at Gomez Palacio was
caused by clever ruse which the reb-
els were employing to secure ammuni-
ton from TOrreOn, the only federal
stronghold in the whole district An
automobile bearing a red cross flag
had made a trip into TorreOn and one
of the LAWN brothers, three OF whom
are rebel leaders, purchased a large
quantity Of ammunition, and pHing it
into the car, escaped through the fed
eraI lines. Learning Of the trick, the
federal authorities took prompt ac-
ton, arresting all the clerks Of Blu
chenau's store, a German firm, and dis
patching about 250 federal volunteers
to follow the automobile
Learning that the automobile had
proceeded to Gomez Palacio, the fed
erals hurried there and were greeted
on entering the town BY heavy fire.
Caught in a triangular fire, the volun-
teers could not retreat and fought from
shortly after noon Saturday until sun
day night, retreating towards Torreon.
Later the rebels also retreated. bear
ing with them Pablo LAWN, their lead

body.
This incident caused great excite
ment at TorreOn, especially since the
many troops there did not go to the
assistance Of the volunteers. It is said.
Refugees say that ali troops in the
vicinity are bottled up in Torreon, and
that the country Immediately surround
