The foregoing dispatch was sent
from the governments wireless sta

receipt at TOrreon, Minister of War
i3ldnQuet instructed tne wireless Oper-
ator at Saltillo to take it also and re-
lay it to Torreon.
General Banquet said he believed
that General Nelasco would receive
the dispatch because of the fact that
the Federals had whipped the rebels

Torreon where the wireless station is
located.

absolutely crushed" said General Blan-
