Sleeping on their arms under a
downpour of rain, after their night
of victorious fighting against the
Federal army 1000 rebel troops
under Francisco Villa rested this
morning. The rebels themselves had
expected to renew the battle today
and hoped to capture the Federal
general, Jose Ynez Salazar, who with
his soldiers is surrounded near Ran
cho Flores. The rebels say they are
anxious to capture General Salazar
so that he may be hanged to q tel
Though the Federals were repealed
from their attack to gain possession
of Juarez after eight hours fighting,
General Villa believes that he must
further harass the enemy If he would
gain fo- his cause the territory north
of Chihuahua city and deliver upon
them such a crushing defeat that the
Federal army of Chihuahua will be
demoralized.
General Villa said the Federal forces
are a few miles south of Gamalayuca,
but with one of their troop trains,
loaded with soldiers, surrounded by
rebels. The general expects the gov
eminent troops to make a sortie to-
day to rescue the train and Is MAX
Ing preparation to defeat them.
Stretched in a semi-circle, for If
teen miles, the rebel troops present
formidable battle line. and so far the
Constitutionalist leader has been able
to make all detached attacks become
general engagements in which the
whole of his army is employed.
1t was in this manner that he re-
PEELED the first onslaught of the Fed
erals yesterday afternoon and forced
them to await darkness for resump-
ton of their main attack which Villa,
through a strategic move, turned into
rout With campflres burning and all
signs of camp life evident at the main
wing at TERRA Blanca, Villa marched
his men forth to attack the Federals
Reinforcements were to meet him at
a specified point from both left and
right wings.
At the Same moment the Federals
and met the combined at
tack of the rebel left, right and front
as unexpectedly as they themselves
had planned to attack the Constitu-
tionalists.
Last nights fight was sharp, hand
o-hand, in many instances, and the
losses on the Federal side are said to
have been heavy. CONSERVATION
struck the Federals, who began a dis
orderly retreat.
Villas Cavalry Pursues.
Villa gave the order for his cavalry
to charge and the Federals were pur-
sued to their trains. which imme-
diately retreated to the southwark.
Then came word into Juarez that
Salazar the general who aad Won so
many victories under Madero, was
pressing Juarez upon the left and
that his attack seemed successful.
Colonel Juan II. Medina, in COM
mand of the Juarez garrison, de-
spatched every available trooper to
assist the rebels on the east OF
Juarez. There a battle waged fierce
ly for three hours, and as the main
portion of the army dropped back
from its victory, additional reinforce
ments were sent to Rancho Flores
and the entire Salazar command sur
rounded by rebels At midnight the
fighting ceased, with Salazar and his
ho ntof n f.
tempt will be made to take Salazar
into Juarez today.
Americans Ordered Ont of Juarez.
At q moment last night when the
result looked grave for the rebels
and Salazar's assault upon Juarez be-
came threatening, all Americans and
foreigners were ordered out OF
Juarez, and under military escort
were conducted to the international
bridge in IN Paso. Those Americans
who were diiatory about leaving
Juarez were placed under arrest ana
forcibly elected. No reports were
made here to indicate that Ameri-
cans or foreigners had been subjected
to any indignity other than the forci-
Bile deportation, which to Colonei
Medina seemed necessary for their
protection.
Newspaper correspondents were not
permitted in Juarez until midnlght,
and those who accompanied villa S
troops to the south did not return un-
til this morning.
Shortly after the heat of battle had
passed there came a report that
Chihuahua City had fallen to the
rebels, it having been almost deserted
by Federals sent to reinforce the gov
ot
This report is yet unverified, but IL
is known that a strong band OF Con-
under General Chao
were in the vicinity of Chihuahua
City yesterday. General villa is tax
ing every precaution against a pos
sibie rally by the F'ederals and said
he intended to strike today while they
yet are in a demoralized condition.
