Villistas penetrated several blocks in
to the city in their first charge yester-
day driving the defenders before
them. They were forced to withdraw
however, when artillery mounted on
Santa Rosa and Coronal hills was

The Carsanza defenders are said to
outnumber the attackers two to one.
Murguia's forces are said to number
