for the reassembling Of The Hague

dead and wounded of six days bat

night on the heels of the fleeing fed

No Foreigners Killed
In all the fighting no foreigner was
killed or injured. The taking Of the
city marks the climax of the first cam
paign Of the revolution to oust Victo-
riano Huerta from the presidents cas-
tie in the City of Mexico. It gives the
constitutionalists virtual control over
the whole northern tier Of Mexican
states.
Fight Began Friday
The fighting began last Friday and
was almost continuous. At first villa
attempted assaults on the strong fed
eral positions in daylight, but these
proved costly, SO the days were spent
in cannonading and the nights in as
Baults.
Accurate Artillery Fire
Positions we're taken and lost time
and again. Several night attacks sent
the federals scurrying from strong po-
sitions, but at daybreak the captors
would be compelled to abandon them
by the strength and accuracy Of the
enemy's artillery fire, much Of which
Is said to have been directed by
French and German gunners.

is close to being total All the subor-
dinate generals have not yet reported,

many were captured cannot be ac-

red in the hills south Of Gomez Pala-
clio and West Torreon. Twice the reb-
els took two Of the hills only to lose
! them, but all the time attack was be-
coming more formidable, as the sol
diers, attacking from all sides except
the west, fighting from house to house,

These with big buns mounted, would
suddenly appear around an elbow of
one of the hills, discharge a broadside
and then retire. Early in the attack
on Gomez Palacio two trains yentured
out at the same time, and a lively ex-
change of shots ensued, like a naval
battle on land.

rocks, which were shot to great
