and around Torreon we're told here
today by passengers from Chihuahua,
who base their descriptions on the
reports made by wounded Mexican
Federal and rebel soldiers brought
from the front to hospitals in Chi
huahua.
More than 500 wounded constitu-
tionallsts are IN Chihuahua hospitals
and more are arriving daily. Besides
these, the hospitals at Parral, Jim
inez and Santa Rosalia are said to
be filled with maimed men, most Of
whom are rebels. Based upon these
stories, estimates today placed the
Constitutionaliet loss IN the battles
Of Lerdo, Gomez Palacio and Torreon
at more than 1900.
There has been no confirmation Of
a report that General villa himself
has been wounded. Constituuonalist
officials at Chihuahua deny II, but a
wounded soldier who arrived there
declared he saw the rebel com
mander-in-chief borne from the bat

LONDON. March 30.-One OF the most
