when the candidate they claim to have
promised their subscriptions calls they
claim to have promised some one else

them no good for they are simply found

MEXICAN REBELS LOSE
BATTLE; BEGIN RETREAT
Whole Army Is Moving Toward
the Border Abandoning
Chihuahua to FederaIs


AT GENERAL OROZCO's HEAD
QUARTERS. Mapula, July 4.-Under COW

withdrew from Bachimba, a distance Of
q miles north Of Mapula, which is but
IS miles below the city of Chihuahua. The
rebels admit their defeat. attributinG it
to a lack of ammunition. The whole
army early today was in retreat and
will continue toward the American bor-
der, abandoning the city of Chihuahua to
the federals.
General oroEeo gave the order to re-
treat after his troops haa been subjected
to the heaviest fire they have yet ex-
perienced. The rebel commander and a
large part OF his force will return to
the city OF Chihuahua today but only
for a temporary halt. General Orozco
will go to Juarez. opposite Ell Paso, Tex.
on the Mexican Central, perhaps turning
back then southwest along the Mexican
Northwestern railroad to Casas Grandes,
which is now the rebel rallying place.
REBEL PLANS.
From Casas Grande, which is in a
mountain country. where the federal ar
tillery cannot be brought into action ad-
vantageously, the rebels viii invade the
rich state of Sonora. The retreat follow
ed a council of war long after midnight.
1t was the unanimous opinion of the rebel
chiefs that a further waste of ammuni-
ton was foohardy If the revolution was
to be continued. 1t was decided to follow
a new plan altogether. Flying col
umns will be sent north, west and south.
The strongest will move to the south to
cooperate with General Argumedo and
Colonel Murillo, last reported at Nazas,
in the southern part of the state OF
Durango, pursued by the federal forces
under General Banquet.
Just where General OroEco's headquar-
ters Will be has not yet been determined
KING OF CHIHUAHUA.
AS for General Huerta, the federal
commander, the rebels now call him the
king of chihuahua for they think he
will rule in the city of Chihuahua ana
nowhere else. II is the rebel intention to
cut the railroad in every direction around
the city as soon as the federals enter.
which. however, will be delayed several
davs. because several bridges for a
distance of 40 miles will have been de-
stroyed between Bachimba and Chihua-
hua by nightfall today. The insurrectos
believe they can make life miserable
for the federal army in Chihuahua oy
cutting communication on all sides OF
the town. When the last train left
