Ell Paso, Texas, March Gloon
ficting reports left the situation at
Gomez Palacio and Torreon a matter
of conjecture. General Villa tele-
graphed to Manuel Chao at Juarez
that he had been in possession-of
Gomez Palacio since morning and
predicted that the rebels would have
Torreon not later than Saturday. On
the other hand, Miguel Diebold, of
Huerta's consular service, exhibited
kilograms declaring the rebels had
been repulsed at all points.
Diebold asserted that when atfrst
the rebels thought they had taken
Gomez Palacio they were victims of
a ruse, as a result Of which they lost
many dead and wounded and six
hundred prisoners. The federal re-
treat, he said, was a feint to draw
the rebels over 127 dynamite mines,
which he said were exploded under
the invaders with the result men.
toned.
General Villas telegram as given
out by General Chao, asserted that
the rebels were maintaining base
at Ell Verjel, five miles from Gomez
Pa'acio, while the railroad between
the two places was being repaired.
He added that the federals had at.
tempted to evacuate Torreon through
the hills to the south, but we're driv-
en- back into the city.
Chao declares that Villa asserted
that for the twenty-four hours pre-
ceding his taking Gomez Palacio the
battle was confined mostly to artil-
lery practice. Villa is quoted as say
ing that his men were moving into
positions for the attack on Torreon
and that he believed the federals
would be in no position to withstand
an assault after the bombardment
which the rebels have in store for
them.
Observers Of the situation here
say they have been misled so often
in the last ten days by so-called Off
cial reports of both sides that Meth
er official utterance was impressive.
More Importance, it was said. was
attached to the renewed embargo
which has prevented newspaper cor
respondents at the front from send
ing impartial stories of events under
their observations.
