capped capture, at least temporarily,

according to a captain who arrived
here yesterday. Before taking refuge
in flight Carranza Is said to have de-
stroyed trains still held by his troops,
together with war material too heavy
to be carried away
Prisoners Taken
Serious fighting probably has oc-
Cured since Carranza left the battle
zone, as dispatches say prisoners have
been captured by the attacking forces.
Reports from chalchi Comuln yes
terday showed that Carranza's men
were working their way southeastward
1t would seem this movement may
have been part Of the presidents

II was on this side Of the battle zone
that Carranza escaped. Fighting was
reported about six miles from Chalchi
Comula, which meant an advance
down the railroad toward this city
OF about nineteen miles In the last
few days.
