Ing reports concerning the progress
OF the attack OF Guadalajara conduct
ed by $4,000 Villista troops under
Gen. Felipe Angeles. were received In
messages from the interior today.
One stated that the Carranzistas
are evacuating the city and fleeing TO-
wards Manzanillo, while another was
that the battle was still In progress
Interrupted telegraph communication
with the Angeles lines at Guadalajara
made II impossible TO determine
which report was true. The presence
at Guadalajara OF Gen. Francisco VII
la himself Is expected by his sup
porters TO bring successful termina
ton OF the battle.
From the headquarters OF Gen. We
nustiano CarranZa, II was officially
announced In messages that thousands
OF troops from Gen. Alvaro obregon's
division were being rushed TO the re
lief OF Governor-General Dieguez al
Guadalajara. Carranzistas feel that
the fall OF this important city at this
time would mean disaster for their
cause.
Carranza also announces that he
is embarking troops on the gunboa'
Zaragosa and on transports at Puerto
Mexico to be sent TO Tampico to re-
inforce the Carranzista garrison there
threatened by villistas under Gen
Martiniona Zerwin.
Extensive operations against the
Maytorena-Villista forces in Sonors
have been Instituted by the Carranzs
faction. In addition TO the troops o.
Gen. Maclovio Herrera. forces from
Sinaloa under Gen. Ramon Iturbt
have invaded the state.
The vanguard OF Gen. Villas army
is rapidly nearing Mexico City, but
no fighting Is reported to have taken
place.
