REBELS PURSUE FEDErALs.
Villas Men Now Occupy TOrreOn
FederalS Lost 1900.

JuareZ, Mexico, April At is es-
imated here that the rebels now have
a force of 4,500 men in pursuit of
the Federal garrison which fled from
Torreon Thursday night.
Fighting between the two forces at
| san Pedro was reported yesterday
and the day before, but nothing new
on the subject was received to-day.
Opinion that Gen. Villa intends to
take every advantage of the defeat
! OF the Federals at Torreon was ex-
pressed here to-day. 1t was based
| on intelligence officially announced
last night that Villa had left sud-
denly for San Pedro to take charge
or rebel troops reported to have par
| tlclpated in an encounter with the
| fleeing federals.
Departure from TOrreon prevented
! the promised telegraphic conference
with Gen. Carranza.
Torreon Occupied bv Villa.
Torreon, Mexico, April 3.-Villa's s
rebels to-day occupied Torreon, from
which Gen. Refugio Velasco and
most Of the uninjured of his COM
mand fled yesterday. Immediately
the work Of burning bodies Of the
dead, clearing away the wreckage of
! shell-shattered adobe walls. street
barricades and barbed wire entangle-
mentS was begun.
Velasco escaped from the Canyon
de Huarache with a considerable pro-
portion OF his force. He was pur-
| sued last night by Gen. Hernandez
who to-day reported that he had
fought small rear guard engage
ment with the retreating force, and
later Gen. Villa with reinforcements
left here to make an attempt to cap
ture or &nnihilate it.
Non-combatants here with whom
| the Associated Press correspondent
talked to-day estimated Velascos
garrison did not number more than
5000 men, of whom 1900 were
killed or wounded.
1t is SAID here that Velasco's re-
treat was brought about by his
losses in the rebels night assaults
and indications that his soldiers,
worn-out by the prolonged fighting
and fearful of the cruelties which.
they were told Villa practiced on the
wounded prisoners, were on The
verge of mutiny.
In house to house fighting rebels
and Federals frequently came within
talking distance of each other, nd
in some instances got on such friend.
ly terms that they ceased firing en-
tirely. In most Of these cases the
Federals were persuaded to remain
when Velasco retreated and then be
enorlled under the rebel banner.
At least fortnight, anI probably
longer period, will be required to
reorganize the army before the ex-
pected campaign against Saltillo and
Monterey can be made.

gather around the camp-fires Of the

During that war just thousands upon
