~ outposts has been in progress for
three days and the Huerta soldiers
have been forced back from appoint Is
miles west Of Torreon to LerdO. about
.ehree miles from the city proper. This
information was brought to Juarez Sun

who comes from EscalOn, where the
re5el front on the National railway
is established
"ConstitutiOnalist" troops under the
Arrieta brothers have advanced on
TOrreOn from the west and have pushed
their OutpOsts as far as Las Cuevas,
within ten miles of the city. Their
base Of operations is at LamO a village
held by the federals until a week or
two ago.
No details of the fighting have
reached Escalon, according to Capt.
Najeira He believes that many lives
have been lost, but has no idea of the
number. Tt is reported in Escalon that
effectualy destroyed the railway lines
between Saltillo and TOrreOn and Mon
terey and TOrreon. If this is true, it
is expected to seriously cripple the fed

BEFORE TORREON

Mexico City, Mex, Feb. 9.-Small
bands of rebels, operating in the vi
cinitY of Torreon, and which have
been cutting the federal railway
communications, have been ordered
to mobilize at concentration camps
around the city in preparation for al
general attack, according to adyices
received here.
President huerta has at Torreon
6 700 men and 1000 at Monterey. At
Tampico the federal garrison is ap-
proximately 1000 and always there
remains the waterway from Vera
Cruz to reinforce TampicO. Huerta
has declared that he will continue to
send troops to TOrreon. until the
garrison there numbers 10000.
The opinion is held here that the
rebels from the north from now on

lines of campaign, one looking to the
capture of TOrreOn, Zacatects, Aguas
Calientes and other towns in their
path to the capital and the other to
