CHIHUAHUA. Mexico. March %
such news as reached here from the
front today was unfavorable to the
rebels. Wounded rebel soldiers con
tinued TO arrive by train bringing the
hundred other wounded were being
provided at Jiminez. and patches OF
wounded were distributed at Parral
and Santa Rosalia.
This evidence OF the sanguinary
conflict at Torreon with the sugges.
ton that the list OF dead on the rebel
side necessarily would be great. tend.
ed TO make headquarters reticent
about the progress OF the battle. The
ofncers admitted they have received
dispatches from the front but they
declined TO reveal the contents.
The report originated from one OF
the hospitals after more wounded

had been wounded slightly and com
PEELED TO retire from the front The
report was based merely on the word
OF wounded soldier, who however.
insisted he had seen Villa wounded
He declared that for moral effect the
news was withheld from the rank and

arrived tocay from the front said .
The Federal army lured us right into
Gomez Palaclo. a suburb to the north
OF Torreon. before they opened IRE.
Then they let loose such hail of
