route back to San Antonio.
Ell Paao, May 13.-Gen. PasQual
Orozco's advance guard of rebels have
been driven back toward Escalon. the
central base of Instructors in north
ern Mexico.
Instead of being on the defense the
government troops have. within the
last "a hours. pushed the attack Wig
orously. forcing the rebels northward
nearly 20 miles to Conejos, about 200
miles south of Chihuahua.
Peronal and other towns occupied
by the liberal forces within the week
were evacuated to the federals.
These facts became known at 4
o'clock this morning, when a telegraph
interview was arranged between Gen.
Joaquin Teller. at the staff headquar-
tiers of the federal troops north of Ber-
mejillo and an Associated Press repre-
sentative here. STAFF headquarters Of
the federal troops are $50 miles directly
south Of the border, but by the wire
route is 1000 miles by way Of Laredo
and Torreon.
1t was learned that since early yes
terday when cOmmunicat ton was es-
tablished with the headquarters of Gen.
Victoriano Huerta. the federal COM
mander In chief, the latter had adj
vanced nearly 80 miles. Huerta, at day
break today, vas nea Peronal and his
outposts were pitched northward to-
ward Conejo. Bringing UP the rear
are the forces of General Rabajo, while
off toward the northwest near Sierra
Mojada Gen. Trucy ALBERT, with 1000
men threatens to come due east to
Escalon TO flank the main body Of the
insurrectos under Orozco. The federal
forces now number nearly 10000 men
and latest estimates give Orozco sew
eral thousand fighting men.
With reserves, 1t is estimated, that
altogether about 1S. 900 men are spread
over the barren plains within a radius
of rs miles.
Shortage of water and food and gem
eral unsanitary conditions are having
effect on both armies. Fever among
the soldiers is prevalent
The maneuvers of the last "a hours
indicate that General Salazar, the rebel
officer next in command to Orozco,
was driven back and closely pushed by
General Auber ali of the way from
Cuatro Cienegas to Sierra Mojada.
Salazar fled back to Orozco's base at
Escalon and it was reported at the
federal camp hat he "A wounded.
General Huerta, the federal conlman-
der in chief, reached the from last
night near PeronaE. But his camp
could not be reached by wire. General
Teller was last in touch with him at
midnight.
