Brownsville, Tex, Nov. 20.-Most Of
the 300 or more federals killed when
General Gonzales and his rebel forces
captured Victoria were massacred, ac.
cording to messages received here to-

After the fight had ragged for hours,
these accounts said, it was decided that
it would be best for the bulk Of the
federal troops to quit the city and re-
treat to Tula, leaving about $50 to hold
the defenses and thus delay q rebel
pursuit,
This plan was carried out and after
the departing body had been given a
fair start, the commander Of those who
remained, rode out under q flag of
truce to surrender.
Gonzales reply was said to have been
that he "did not wish to take any pris-

Realizing that they were doomed, the
federals barricaded themselves in the
convent where they made their last
stand fight and held out as long as pos
sible. A few escaped but most Of them
were either killed in resisting the rebel
attack or hunted to death in the streets
after the attacking force had carried
the convent.
Gonzales then pursued the retreating
body of the federals, overlook them at
Tula and completely routed them, kill
ing many.
He was reported today marching on
Tampico and it was expected he would
attack tonight.
