the physical capacity of the storage
facilitiest enabled importers to carry
large sticks without expense and
gave OPPORTUNITY for speculation, to

VILLA FORCES
ARE DEFEATED
At CHIHUAHUA
Renews Attacks in Morning,
But Forced to Retreat
With Heavy Losses.
GENERAL ACOSTA
LOST IN ACTION
Believe Villa Thought Ire
vino Short of Ammunition
and Expected Victory.
BY ASSOCIATED PPEss.

Chihuahua City, Nov. 24.-Another
attack by Villa bandits upon Chihua-
hua City from the east, made early
today, was repulsed with heavy losses
to Villa adherents.
Machine guns and heavy artillery
of the Carranza garrison here
wrought havoc to advancing bandit
lines and sortie by cavalry column
under General Ozuna completed the
trout.
The attacking forces fled towards
the northwest and are believed to be
out of touch with the remaining Villa
commands.
Among the wounded today was
Governor Trevino, brother of General
Trevino, commander of chihuahua.
Two officers of Trevino's staff were
killed and the body of General Acosta,
Villa commander, was found on the
field.
General Trevino, although wounded
slightly yesterday, was in personal
command today.
Villas attack on Chihuahua City
was not unexpected by the Carranza
garrison, Mexican officials here said
today, as Villa had publicly announced
both at Parral and Santa Rosalia that
his next action would be to take Chi
huahua and then to drive the American
expedition out of Mexico. 1t was be-
cause of military movements tending
to give substance to these threats, ac-
cording to officials that General Ire
vino remained on the defensive in
Chihuahua City after announcing a
week ago his departure for the field.
Villas boldness in assaulting an al
most equal force protected by we'll
made entrenchements is sscribed in
Juarez to common belief that Ire
vino was seriously short of small am
munition. 1t is thought here that Ire
vino allowed this impression to spread
so as to insure its reaching Villa,
while in fact he had sufficient for all
emergencies. A large number of
Mexicans residing in Juarez came
across to Ell Paso last night because of
disquieting rumors there. One was
that Villa had captured Chihuahua
and the Juarez garrison in conse-
quence, intended to revolt and Join
