Nogales, Sonora, Mex, Nov. 10
Culiacan, capital Of Sonora, was cap
tured by constitutionalists yesterday.
This was announced at military head
quarters here in a telegram from Gen
eral Alvaro Obregon, who was com
mander Of the insurgent forces.
Felipe Riveros, governor of Sinaloa,
who was deposed by Huerta, was
again installed as governor. Mazat-
Ian is now the only city in Sinaloa
remaining in the hands Of the fed
erals.
In the assault on Culiaean 20 were
slain and so wounded, according to
the figures given by General Obregon,
who himself was slightly wounded in
the fighting.
Obregon confirmed the death Of
Colonel Garmendia, whose loss was
regretted deeply at Carranza's head
quarters here. Garmendia, formerly
a regular army officer, was the man
who shot down the army colonel who
attempted to arrest President Madoro
during the Felix Diaz uprising in
Mexico City.
Another colonel Of the insurgent
troops, a major ard some minor Of
ficers also were slain. The troops
and townspeople here celebrated with
much noise the news that Culiacan
had been captured. American fire
crackers were exploded while bugle
and drum corps marched The streets.
Pistols fired into the air added to
the din.
The news was regarded as having
more than usual political Importance
at this time.
/ Culiacan is the capital Of the state
adjoining Sonora on the Pacific
coast to the south. Already the in
surgents hold Culiacan's seaport
This leaves Mazatlan, principal seq
polt and metropolis Of Sinaloa and
Cuaymas, the California gulf port of
Sonora, the only important points or
the west coast still held by the fed
erals.
General Obregon merely reported
that The federal defenders Of Culia-
can had fled and were being followed
by insurgent columns. He did not
state the federal loss.
News from Chihuahua City, now
invested by Pancho Villas rebels
was awaited with great interest. II
the chihuahua state capital falls, the
constitutionalists would hold the
capitals OF three border and coast
states, forming a wedge in north
western Mexico.

Col. Castro, commanding the defeat
ed garrison of Juarez, was not cap
tured. An FL Paso merchant found
him at 1880 hiding under bed in a
little room in the rear of a grocery
store and delivered him to American
General Scott. It could not be learned
how he escaped from Juarez.
