TRUJILLO NOW COMMANDS

CardenaS EvaCuateS Naco Leav- ing Only Civil Officials Behind; Location of UrbaIejo Is MySte- ry Along the Border.

With Gales far away from his base of supplies and with Maytorena rein forcing his troops every moment, it would appear that the Carranza com. mander would have to retreat or suf- fer inconvenience at the hands Of the Yilistas.
 Last evening information was re- ceived in Naco from Nogales which maintained that the Maytorena forces under command Of General Trujuo, had forced Gales to retreat from San ta Cruz to Cananea. Maytorena au- thorities also claim to have inflicted losses upon the Carranza forces to the extent of two hundred killed and wounded
 No verihcation can be had Of the alleged fact that the Gales troops are back in Cauanea The cuucensus of opinion, however is that the Carranza commander got too far away from his base of supplies when he sought to take Nogales. Many Americans on the border declared yesterday that Maytorena, with his endorsements and with Trujillo, Ramos. de la Vega and possibly Urbalejo leading the troops, would force Gales back into his own stronghold and possible whip him decisiyely before this was accom- plished
 Colonel Cardenas, with two hundred and fifty soldiers he used in taking Naco on Monday, evacuated the bOr- der port yesterday afternoon at four o'clock. They went south. and are rel ported to be on their way to reinforce Gales at Cananea
 The total number of men in Gales command, according to information received from Cananea. number about wenty-three hundred With the rein forcements which have been arriving in Nogales for the Maytorena forces for several days, it is estimated that Trujillo's army will number upwards of three thousand.
 An interesting sidelight on the sit uation is the fact that General Acosta is reported in Nogales. Urbalejo, the Yaquis chief, is the mystery The Maytorena officials claim to know where he is but will not divulge the location. 1t is said that Urbalejo is awaiting concessions on the part of Governor Maytorena, before he joins the fighting forces again.
 It is also said that urbalejo has ney- CT agreed with Acosta and will not work under him. Information would also indicate that Governor Maytore- na has practically taken Acosta's com mand away from him on account of the poor showing the latter made against the Gales forces at Anavaca- chi Pass and at Villa Verde Whether this will mean that Urbalejo will join l the troops is another question. The action taken at Naco yesterday by the Gales troops in evacuating the town, does not change the status of the situation, declares Maytorena con- sular adyices It is pointed out that | since July 19 the Gales people have maintained a garrison of two hundred and fifty men in Naco, which is clear | ly against the Scott agreement.
 On the other hand the Maytorena authorities point to the fact that dur l ing their hold upon Naco there never was a garrison in the town The or der and peace of Naco was admins tered by civil officials, solely.
 In Naco the situation has quieted down, materially The building occu- 1 pied by Oscar Johnson has been turn ed into the customs office The Ant lers is now used as an immigration office Juan Mora's office is being utilized by the military authorities. It is understood that the Brown build ing has been rented to F. A. Folsom, who will handle a considerable part of his extensive brokerage commission business through Naco.
