Juarez, April 1.-the rebel wound
ed during a six days battle at San
Pedras de los ColOnias east OF Tor
reon, is placed at 5000 in an official
report made by Gen. Villa to Gen.
Carranza, in which the combined
forces Of the federals said to have
numbered 10000 to 49,, 900 were de-
feated by 10000 or $4,000 rebels.
Gen. Carranza forwarded the re-
port to Rafael Zubaron, his secretary
OF the interior, who remained here
after the provisional capital was NOV
ed to Chihuahua. ZubarOn believed
the reference to Five thousand
rwounded' was an eXaggeration due
to a telegraphic mistake, and he
wired for confirmation.
Gen. Villas report, dated yesterday

municate to YOU that after six days

A telegram from Gen. Venavides
gives the rebel loss at $50 killed and
wounded. 1t may be impossible to
clear up the discrepancy tonight, but
| it is pointed out as unlikely that the
rebels lost half their force in wounded
alone.
Another telegram, source unidenti-
fed, placed the federal loss at $500
killed, wounded and prisoners. Other
reports have it that property of the
MaderO family and other rebel SYM
tpathizers in San Pedro was destroyed
by the federals.
The combined rebel force came
upon the reunited federals, said in
the last days Of the battle to have
numbered $1,000, at San Pedro de
las ColOnias. State of Coahuila, 40
miles east Of Torreon. Killed and
wounded on both sides. it is said will
number in the neighborhood of 5000.
The rebels claimed to have taken
700 prisoners. The federal army is
said to have included the Torreon
garrison, led out of that city in retreat
by Gen. VelascO, those Of Gen. Mas,
Gen. Hidalgo. Gen. de Moure and two
others.
Mas, HidalgO and de Moure were
on their way back to Torreon with
reinforcement but Velasco retired be-
fore their arrival. Since then, until
the federal. concentration at san
Pedro and environs, the federals
have been manOeuvring in an endeav-

detachments have scurried hithcr and
