OROzCO FORCES IN
FLIGHT AFTER THEIR
CRUSHING DEFEAT
Rebels Driven Back From Their
Advance on Torreon After
~ 12-Hour Battle
FEDERALS ARE IN PURSUIT
Gen. Huerta Says Revolutionists
Are Surrounded and Retreat
as Is Cut Off
FEDERALS ARE IN PURSUIT

Ell PASO, Texas, May 13.-Defeated
and driven back from his advance on
Torreon after a 12-hour battle during
which more than 500 were killed and
wounded on both sides, Gen. Orozco
has established rebel headquarters at
Rellano today and will await the ar
rival of reinforcements before making
another move against the federals.
A geenral order summoning all revo'
lutionists to mobilize at Rellano mas
been issued by the rebel leaders. Fol-
lowing the victory yesterday, however.
it Is not believed the federals will rest
with their partial advantage, but press
Orozco and probably force him into
battle again. In such case the over
whelming defeat OF the rebels Is pre-
dicted.
The lighting on the plains between
ConeJos and Yermo yesterday was the
most severe OF the war.
A courier has reported that Gen.
Trucey Aubert, the federal command
er was shot in the leg. The rebeSs
abandoned the field leaving their dead
and wounded behind and also lost ten
cannon and ammunition in their flight.
After the engagement the field was
strewn with the bodies of the dead
and dying.
Two rebel generals were missing
early today. Generals Campo and
Artugumedo were sent to the east to
flank the federals, but were out-gen-
eralled and at a late hour last night
had not yet joined the main COM
mand. The rebels abandoned their
positions at 3 o'clock and II Is believed
Campo and Artugumedo may have
been cautpred.
Gen. Orozco admitted his defeat last
night claiming that the superior artil-
lery OF the federals was responsible.
He claimed, however, that with rein
forcements he would be able to regain
his lost ground.
Reports from the federal camp indi-
cate that the fght may be renewed at
any hour. Gen. Teller is said to have
been sent eastward to flank the rebels
and Gen. Huerta, who Is I'm command
claims that he has succeeded com
pletely In his movement and that the
rebels are surrounded and all retreat
is cut of. The federals have not sue
ceeded, however, in closing the road
to Escalon. the reebl base, and It is
expected Orozco will endeavor to
reach there for final stand. Fortlf-
cations have been thrown up and a
determined resistance could be made
by the reyolutionists.
Gen. Huerta, the federal commander
gives credit for the victory to his artil-
lery.
"The artillery fire was superb" the
geenral declared. I'VE captured from
the enemy ten cannons, wagons, with
many hand bombs of dynamite. The
enemy retreated in precipitate flight
toward the north where part OF my
men executed violently a movement
which nearly annihilated them. Those
who escaped burned bridges and a
train of 20 cars OF provisions were de-
stroyed.
"On our part we had an almost
negligible loss, except that Gen.
Trucye Aubert was slightly wounded
in one foot

SIX DRIVEN FROM BEDS
BY MIDNIGHT FLAMES
Fire Causes $4,000 Damage To

would not have caused serious fright
to anybody. But Mrs. Bahen, who is
62 years OF age and has been under a
physicians care several months for
nervous trouble, was so badly fright
ened that she was carried to a neigh
bor's home in a serious condition. She
rallied quickly, however, and no seri-
GUS consequences are anticipated.
Mr.. and Mrs. George Durfee and
their four sons were driven from their
bed rooms, upstairs, at Nos. 107 and
100 Greenwood, by smoke and took
refuge in Neighbor's home.
The fire started in the meat market
of Chas. Buhler's No. 107 Greenwood.
and spread to the grocery of Geo. Dur
fee at No. 109, the roof OF Mrs. Bahen's
home being also damaged. The Bahens

MARIETTA, Ohio, May 13.-Presi
dent Taft, fresh OF voice and prlIned
full of fighting facts by his confer
advisers during the past two days In
Washington, stepped TO his car plat
form and looked upon a great crowd,
gathered at the railroad station here
early this morning, and the iercest
10 days OF political campaigning Ohio
ever saw had begun.
Taft planned TO dwell chiefly upon
the record of his administration in
his plea for votes at the primaries
a week from tomorrow and to drop
the personal note. which crept into
his talks to southern Ohio audiences
last week. But the colonel will also
be in the state this week, arriving
tomorrow, and in the hot scramble
for votes II Is more than likely that
the one-time friends will drop into
bitter personalities and character
revelations before the week is over.
II is said that Taft will fay Roose-
welt for his attitude in the Tennessee
Coal and Iron assimilation.
Taft reached here from Washington
via Parkersburg, w. Va, at 7:45 a. m.
After a short talk here, he was off
on a schedule that called for ten
speeches before night. BY noon he
had addressed crowds at Caldwell,
Cambridge and NewcomerstOwn. This
afternoon he was TO make speeches
at Dennison, Uhrichsville, st. Clairs'
Vile, Bellaire and Bridgeport The
big meeting of the day is scheduled
