GENERAL VILLA
wins. IN BATTLE
At. HEAD OF FOUR THOUSAND
coNTiTuTloNALIsT TROOPS
is VICTOR IN FIGHT.

Estacion Amargos, Mex, (Via Ell
Paso, Tex.)-May 20.-General Fran.
cisco Villa, leading four thousand con.
Istitutionalist troops, won the first i'm
portant engagement of the Saltillo
campaign May II, when he defeated
| 500 federal troops, retreating from
Monclova at Paredon.E
Forty-fve hundred federal troops re-
treating from Monclova to Saltillo
were met by a 1000 army led by
General Villa, and were decislvely
beaten. Not only did General Villa
administer defeat but he prevented
the arrival at Saltillo of the Monclova
federal garrison, which would have
added materially to the defensive force
of the objective point of the campaign.
He also captured supplies which would
have been of value to the garrison of
Saltillo and which would have added
la tremendous increase of strength to
the power of Villas attack.
The constituencies lost sixteen
killed and twenty-nine wounded. The
federal casualties were Twenty-Five
killed and over eighty wounded. The
constitutionalists captured 900 prison
ers, nine pieces of artillery, over l.
100000 rounds of small arms ammuni.
ton, large quantity of artillery am
munition and large supply of pro-
visions, in addition to five troop trains
which carried the Huerta soldiers.
