all OF the Federals' arms and artillery.
The battle lasted four days, with
heavy losses to both sides.
The Constitutionalists captured Tor

cording to an official report. General
Choa, Of the insurgent forces, told OF
it in making his report to General
Caranza at Hermosillo, and also put
a new aspect on the capture Of Santa
Rosalia.
While the Federals were fighting
with what they considered the main
rebel force at Santa Rosalia Chi
huahua, the major group of insurgents
took Torreon and La Paz. The town
of Sierra Mojeda also fell into rebel
hands on Thursday, the message said.
Three hundred refugees, most Of
them Americans, left Torreon before
the capture of that city by the Con
stitutionalists and are making their
way overland to the border, according
to dispatch received here.

of the foreigners was injured either
