Between 13,600 and 14,080 federals defended the city, the constituEonalists. numbering about 15,000, could employ little more than half that number in the attacks of four days. which resulted yesterday in vie- tory for the Villa troops. the taking of hundreds of prisoners and munitions and the demoralzed retreat of the remnants of General Barfon's army,
 The street fighting in Zaeateeas was the most severe of the revolution. Many constitutionalists paid with their lives for their bravery. Many federals threw away uniforms and began snip ing the invaders. Those who pleaded guilty to this offehse were shot after being captured.
 The federals, already on the retreat, blew up a mine in the customs house without warning the women and ctil- dren. Many constitutionalists who had entered the building also were buried in the wreck.
 By sundown Tuesday the federa1s had been routed completely. How many of them escaped had not been learned.

NEW HAVEN DIRECTORS TO
 FIGHT MASSACHUSETTS PLAN
Vote Not to Accept Conditions of Pro-
 posed Law.

New York, June s5.-Chairnan How ard Elliott and the directors of the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad company at a special meeting today considered in detail the legisla- tive situation in Massachusetts in it's bearing upon the arrangements arrived at between the department of justice at Washington and the roads representa- lives for the roads relfnquishment of certain of it's subsidiaries.
 4 resolution was unanimously pass ed declaring that the directors could not accept the conditions of the pro- posed Massachusetts law, requiring that each certificate of stock of the Boston and Maine held for the benefit of the New Haven company by the Boston Railroad Holding company sold by the liQuidators in pursuance with the agreement between the government and the New Haven road. shall be stamped with a provision that the shares of stock represented by the certificates shall always be subject to be taken up by the state at price to be fixed by agreement or by court This condition. according to the reso- lution. would make the shares unEal- able and also would place the com pany in a worse position than if it were compelled to sell it's shares by decree of the federal court.
 If the bill should be passed in its present form the resolution indicates that the company will contest 1t in the courts.
 The contention is made in the reso- lution that unless the stock can be sold at a fair price within the limited time allowed by the agreement with the United States the shareholders of the New Haven will sustain a great loss and this provision prevents such a sale and defeats the purpose of the United States unless it is accomplish ed at a serious loss to the company.
