FL Paso. Tex. March 3l.-A tale OF
rebel reyerses and rebel luck was
brought here last night from the front
by John s. Reed. correspondent OF the
New York World. and Robert Dormain,
a photographer, who escaped from
Torreon. Their stories are the first
accounts CT eye witnesses since the
attack on Gomez Palacio, Lerdo and
Torreon begun. They left the front
Saturday morning, at which time they
estimated the rebel loss was 1000 in
killed and wounded.
Dorman brought back report that
Colonel Victor Huerta, son of Presi-
dent Huerta, was among the federal
dead. He said also that British Vice
Consul Cummings of Gomez Palacio
was sent to Torreon by General Villa
to suggest to General Velasco that he
surrender.
Cummings left Gomez Palacio Fri
day evening and was expected to re.
turn early Saturday morning, but when
the correspondents left he had not re.
appeared. and there was much specu-
latlon as to his safety.
We We're whipped twice at Gomez
Palacio.' related Dorman, but the
federals didn't have the good sense to
follow up their advantage, and Villa
returned to the attack after reorganiz-
ing and ultimately occupied the city.
We were whipped right there, but ve-
lasco. the federal commander, didn't
know it.
Federal prisoners whom we cap
tured said that Velasco later went in
sane in the trenches. Ne is a cripple
of previous revolutions and has bad
arm and bad leg. The prisoners toll
us he went mad after Gomez Palacio
and went raging up and down the
lines. cursing and issuing the most alb
surd orders. Ultimately his own Off

Our attack on Gomez Paacio was
centered on the hill known as Cerro
de la Pillar 1t Is precipitous and we
made seven assaults before taking it.
The result of each of the six assaults
which were unsuccessful could be dis.
cerned after the battle by the rings of
dead rebels. Their bodies distinctly
marked the line where they were re-
pulsed
THE homemade shrapnel OF the
rebels had much to do with the early
repulses at Gomez Palacio. Only about
one in thirty exploded.
General Villa is a fighting man.
He was everywhere and his greatest
delight was to join the assaults on foot
and throw hand grenades himself
Ultimately he will take Torreon.
when We left, Saturday morning,
the. fight for the possession OF Tor
reon was in progress. 1t was slow,
stubborn work, as the rebels had to
fight from house to house, the enemy
retreating from position to position

mud houses which are built one
against another
Reed and Dorman agreed that the
superiority OF the federals' artillery
should have given them permanent
victory but for Velasco's failure to fol-
low up his advantages.
The rebel and federal forces at Tor
reon still are engaged in battle, 1t was
learned Monday night.
