mark the turning point in the Mexican
revolution a great and decisive bat
lie on Thursday brought victory TO
the federal forces after "a hours OF
constant battle in and around the vii
lage of Rellano, Mexico.
The losses have been heavy on both
sides.
The government had 1000 men In
the engagement, under General Huer-
ia, but they were outnumbered by the
rebel army under General Orozco, who
kept 5000 men i naction. Both gen
erals directed the opposing forces IN
person and Orozco was frequently
under fire from the long range artll-
iery Of the federal forces. His lieu
tenants pleaded with him time and
again to retire to safer ground.
Thursday night the federal cavalry
pursued the fleeing rebels north OF
Rellano. The rebels made a stand at
Coralitos, Ia miles away, but a
flank movement executed by the
federals caused them to retire a few
miles.

in the trenches under fearful artillery
fire until the federal infantry came
within rifle range. but were forced to
leave their redoubts under the CALLING

The rebels have been forced back
ia miles from Torreon, the great
railway gateway to northern Mexico
which was made the objective point

During the battle on Thursday Gen.

to the left. He reported the capture
Of two cannon and one machine gun,
This news was cheered by the rebels
in the trenches, but they were in sore
need of big( guns. This advantage
gained during the morning, was lost
before nightfall, however.
The rebels will give no figures on
the losses sustained. but claim that al
least $50 federal cavalrymen were
slain.
