GUADALAJARA FALLS
AFTER LONG BATTLE
Rebels Capture Second Largest
City in Mexico.
5000 ARE HELD PRISONERS
Number of Dead and Wounded on
Both Sides is Great-Report That
Villa Was Assassinated
Not Confirmed.

Guadala lara, Jalisco, Mex, July IL
Guadalajara, capital of the state of
Jalisco and the second largest city in
the republic Of Mexico, is occupied by
the constitutionaIist forces under
command of Gen. Alvazo Obregon,
commander-in-chiefo of the department
of the northwest, after a terrible de-
feat Of the federal garrison.
Five thousand prisoners were taken.
The number of dead and wounded on
both sides is great but cannot be
given in detail at this moment owing
to the fact that the battle was fought
over zone more than one hundred
kilometers in width.
From prisoners it is learned that
the garrison numbered 10000 men
and that not more than five thousand
succeeded in cutting their way out
after abandoning their wounded, all
their artillery and stores, including
great quantities Of small arms and
ammunition.
After the occupation General Obre-
gon lost no time in sending a heavy
column in pursuit Of the fugitives and
as they are on foot he believes he
will have no trouble in preventing
their escape to Querataro or San Luis
Fotosi
The battle for the occupation of the
city lasted continuously for 48 hours,
the attack being led by General BIan-
co, the hero of Topic.
No estimate can be made of the
federal loss, but it is said by Generals
Blanco and Obregon to be compare
lively small and will not include a
single officer among either killed or
wounded.
General Obregon says that his army
numbered but 10000 men and that he
had fewer than twenty cannon when
the attack began. Comparatively lit
tie damage was done by the lombard
ment.
The number of guns captured is not
yet definitely known, but prisoners
say there were fully forty cannon.
Washington, July 11.-Constitution-
alist headquarters here received no
confirmation of the report published
in Mexico City that General Villa was
assassinated by woman in Torreon.
Constituencies agents say the re-
port is so obviously false as not to
warrant a denial.
Washington, July 10.-Genera1 Villa
has voted against informal peace con-
ferences between representatives of
the Mexican constitutionalists and the
Huerta government as proposed by the
South American mediators.
Seeing final victory almost within
his grasp, Villa declared there should

the battlefield.
