General Obregon, news that General
Jesus Carranza has attacked San Luis
Potosi was expected here momentar-
lily today. With the fall of the latter
city, the road will be open to Quere-
taro and Mexico City.
The constitutionalist leaders today
regarded the capture OF Mexico City
within few days as an absolute GER
tainty. The fall Of Guadalajara puts
the second largest city in the coun-
try under their control.
General Obregon sustained but
slight losses during the fighting before
the city. which exteded over stretch
of eighty miles. The federal force of
more than 10000 was completely rout-
ed. The line was split, 5000 men
were captured and many killed and
wounded. General Obregon's troops
captured all Of the artillery and am
munition OF the federal army. BY de-
stroying the railway he prevented
the retreating force from carrying any
supplies out of the city. !.

JUAREZ, Mexico, July Io.-That

by ccnstitutionalist cavalry, no furth.
er word has come early today from
Obregon beyond his official rerort sent
last night to General Venustiano Car

Constitutionalists say the import
ance Of this victory can scarcely be
exaggerated, as it puts Obregon in a
much better position than General
Francisco Villa to strike the most de-
cisive blow OF the whole revolution

Obregon should push his way towards

zacatecas advices indicated that the
Guadalajara battle began Monday
morning with the fight at Orendain
Jamianco, when Obregon surrounded
and almost annihilated 5000 federals
who sailed forth. Their rout was
complete. Obregon followed them SC
closely that mis- forces were in the
city itself before the federals could
organize an effective resistance. De

by constitutionalists today.
