General Villas Forces Capture Gomez

Chihuahua, March 31.-Such news
as arrived from the front at Torreon
Sunday was unfavorable to the reb-
els. Local rebel officers admitted they
had received dispatches from the
front, but declined to reveal the con-
tents.
A report originated at one Of the
hospitals after more wounded arrived
in Chihuahua that General Villa had
been wounded slightly and forced to
retire from the field.
Juarez, March 30.-General Villa
said, in a telegram received here, that
virtually all Torreon, including the
entire business section, was in the
hands of his soldiers.
Gen. Monclove Herrera, his own
rebel brigade and part of the Zaragosa
brigade, all veterans, were reported
by Villa to have entered Torreon from
the east, 1000 strong, and to have
fought from house to house and street
to street until the bull ring on the
northern fringe Of the town was taken
with the section of the city through
which the railroad passes. This in
cluded the business section or most
of it.
Gomez Palacio, Mex, March 3d.
Four days of fighting, including three
desperate assaults by the rebels, en-
abled Gen. Francisco Villa to move
into this place and establish headquar-
ters within three miles of Torreon.
The deciding assault was preceded by
a bombardment after which the infan-
try and cavalry dashed into the streets
of Gomez Palacio. Rifles, machettes,
pistols and hand grenades were used
in hundred different encounters in
the narrow thoroughfares. The gren-
AIDES, of home manufacture, were light
ed with cigarettes, which are an unof-
fetal part of the equipment of every
Mexican soldier
