 Concentrating All Forces.

Fl Paso, Texas, April 19.-Generaf Francisco Villa, commander-in-chie of the conventionalst army of 20,000, was crushingly defeated in the battle of Celaya and the remnants of his shattered force reached A2uas Cali entes today.
 In close pursuit of the northern leader is General Alvarado Obregon, the Carranzista commander. In Gen. eral Obregon's army are more than 10000 trained troops. General Villas forces have halted at Aguas Caientes to prepare defences for last stand against the northern march of the Carranzista forces.
 Abundant confirmation of General Villas signal defeat has been receiv- ed in this city, not only by the Car ranzista agency but by the Villa representatives on the border as well.
 From details of the battle wnlcn reached here, indications are that the star of the northern leader has set, and that for all he can do to pre- vent it. the Carranzista faction will predcm.nate in Mexico for the time being at least.
 General Villa himself reached Aguas Calientes. 200 miles north O. Celaya, this morning. It appears from, claims made by Villa that ne would again attack Obreg6S St soon as endorsements arrive: that he was either disappointed in not receiving this fresh support, or that the victory of Obregon was so overwhelmirg. y:1I 01 h Hnf leadership could not again rally his stricken army 10 the attack.
 Five thousand fresh troops, more- over, arrived at Celaya last Sunday from Vera Cruz, to reinforce Obre- gon.
 Villa Loses 5000.
 Reports received here state that Villa, unaware that his opponent had been strengthened. ordered a general attack on tho fortified city and threw practically his whole force into the onslaught. The struggle that ensned. according to these reports, resembled a massacre more than battle, and Villas men were hurled back with heavy losses, estimated at no less than 5000 men,. They were forced to retire to a point IA miles north of Celaya, where Villa reorganized his brigades, received fresh supplies of ammunition and began another of- fensiye movement.
 The second attack was launched last Monday morning It was even more unfortunate than the first. Flushed with victory. Obregon's troops met the attackers outside their protected position and dealt them a more crushing blow than the one administered on Saturday.
 Villa himself, according to unof- ficia lreports, barely escaped with his life. What portion of his army he saved is not known. but the indi- cations tonight are that he lost fully 10000 men in the last week of fight, ing. or 50 per cent of his effective fighting force.
 Shoots His Own Officers.
 With his own hand. General Villa shot down several of his officers who were fleeing with; their fear-stricken comrades. No act he could do could stop his panic-stricken men. and for the first time in his career as mili- tary leader he tasted ignominous de- feat.
 Telegrams from Villa at Aguas Calientes to Juarez military officials said Villa had placed his military commander, Gen. Felipe Angeles, under arrest for insubordination. Angeles drew up plan of attack against Celaya which I refused to follow" the mtssage reads. And when Obregon. with his strong posi- ton and superior number, struck ter ! TOT into my soldiers.
