Calhoun and Chiffon were opposed in two races in this campaign, the other race being between State Senator T. F. Kilby of this city, for lieutenant governor against T. A. Curry and Scott Chesnntt, both of Clanton. Indications are that Senator Kilby will get a big ma jority over both of his opponents despite the fact that his name ap- peared last on the ticket and that the race for lieutenant governor was over shadowed by the races for governor and senator,

Rebels Reported Defeated

Fl Paso, Tex, April 9.-News of an important rebel defeat at San Pedro, about 40 miles northwest of Torreon. was brought today by newspaper men who were not allowed to send the news from the rebel camp. Before the cor respondents left Torreon the defeated rebel column returned to Torreon.
 It also was said a Torreon that Gen : eral Velasco, who evacuated that city five days ago, had joined the federal General Garcia Hidalgo at Saltillo. Hi- dalgo, with 1000 men, had started to reinforce Xelasco at Torreon, but was delayed. The combined forces at Sal tillo, therefore, number about 12.0oo, if the Hidalgo report proves correct
 Villa sent only brigade under Gen eral Ortesa against San Pedro The defeated column returned Tuesday. it is said. The federal rapid firers. sweep ing the level plain, worked havoc among them. Night attacks failed to dislodge the enemy and Ortega returned with the explanation that he found the federals in unexpected force.

Hidalgo they said. was trying to reach Torreon with endorsements when Velasco evacuated that city.
 The correspondents said that while the sending of news from the front was not entirely prohibited, it was censored so severely as to be all but worthless. Villa. they said, compelled Mir. Cunard- Cummins to run the risk of carrying demand for the surrender of Torreon to General Nelasco, the trip being made under protest and during which MT. Cummins was fired upon.
