fered heavy losses and virtually ex-
hauSted their ammunition. 1t was
stated that the rebels lost $50 killed
during fighting at Bullring, where
Gen. Rafael Buelna was mortally
wounded.

OF the 600 men in the federal gar
rison, some stating that two-thirds
fought their way through the rebel
lines and arrived at Acambaro. where
they are being reinforced by columns
under Gen. Escobar, who is seeking
Guanajuato.

The fugitives assert the rebels suf-
fered 400 casualties during the eight
days fighting around Morelia and
that these were exceeded by the cas-
uaIties of the next two days

attack on revolutionary trains on the
road to Guadalajara by federal avia-
tors, who dropped incendiary bombs
from 6e Haviland bombers. The
