Bachimba rebel 'front.'. July Com
munica ton between the rebel army and the
city of chihuahua was restored to-day.
General Huerta, the federal commander,
marched his infantry to within battle range
Of Bachimbs three times, but withheld his
ere and withdrew. leaving the rebels puz-
,l.d as to the meaning Of the maneuvres.
II is assumed, however, that the federal
general wishes to keep the rebels active at
Bsehimba while his flank and rear attack
IN getting under way. The rebel hghdng
line Is now stretched over a distance of
seven miles It seems certain that the reb-
els will not open the fight, awaiting the
federal attack, so that upon General Huerta
depends the beginning Of hostlities.
