ported that in the struggle, in which
officials estimate 5000 men are en-
gagged, the first fruits of victory are
with the army of General Villa.
Gen. Obreson Surrounded.
General Obregon is declared to have
been surrounded and his retreat cut off

report: AS the firing line is extensive
detailed advices have not reached here
from General Villas headquarters and
the final outcome Of the fighting is
still doubtful.
Important Bearing on Political Situa-
ton.
Victory for Villa would mean the re-
sumption of communication by rail

the American border, while success by
General Obregon would divide the
la-Zapata forces and destroy their
communication between the northern
