100. Two hundred federal officers were
shot after the city fell, without trial.
Hundreds of federals have fled to the
interior, and may be shot down by
their pursuers.
The federals here are entrenched
on the round top of Montouso La

The rebels report the capture of
Colima, an important railroad town
