SCAI TERlNG NEWS IS
UNFAVORABLE TO REBEL s
List OF Rebel Wounded Grows-Ohi-

AA%NNlSCO. /
Chihuahua, March 29.-Such news
as reached here from the front today
was unfavorable to the rebels
Wounded rebel soldiers continued to
arrive by train. bringing the number
now mere to 5SS. Several hundred
other wounded were being provided
iof at Juarez and patches Of wounded
were distributed at Parral and Santa
RoSalia.
Contents Of Dispatches Secret.
This evidence of the sanguinary
conflict at Torreon, with the sugees
ton that the list of dead on the rebel.
SIDE necessarily would be great, tend
ed TO make headquarters reticent
ABOUT the progress of the battle. Off
GERS admitted they have received dis
patches from the front, but declined
to reveal the contents.
Villa Reported Wounded.
n report originated from one of
the hospitals that General Francisco
Villa had been wounded slightly and
compelled to leave the front. The
report was based on the word of a
wounded soldier who, however, in
sisted he had seen Villa wounded. He
declared that for moral effect the
news was withheld from the rank OF
the rebel army.
Federals Lured Villa On.
A German military observer who
arrived today from the front said:
The Federal army lured US right
into Gomez Palacio, a suburb to the
north of Torreon, before they
opened fire. Then they let loose
such a hail of rifle and machine
gun shot as would have completely
demoralized an ordinary Mexican
army. The men fell by the score. A
cotton bale platform by the railroad
tracks was SO covered with e. rebels
that n could not walk across it with
out stepping on a body. General villa
had such a large arny that he felt h
could afford to sacrifice many men t.
get a foothold. Almost the who'll

should be stated in addition to our
news account of the recent hearing in
which he was concerned

outcome of the matter, the many
friends of Dr. Borden filling the court
room and sympathizing with him in
relation to the marriage of his six
teen-year-old daughter without his

of the elements entering into the diff

Much satisfaction is expressed as to
the outcome of the affair as Dr. Bor-
