N0GALES, Ariz., Oct. 14.-tFl-A
new outbreak of rebellion in Mexico
prompted officials along the inter-
national border today TO investigate
whether there had been any Ameri-
can casualties in the fighting near
Guadalajara, Jalisco.
Semi-official advices reaching here
last night declared there had been
fierce fighting between rebels under
Generals Leon Sanchez and Antonio
Degolla and federal forces command
ded by General Francisco Flores.
Apparently there were two engage
ments. In the first the rebels, who
were said to have outnumbered the
federal troops, won at a cost OF
fifty dead while the loyal troops
counted only Is killed. The insur-
rectors were reported to have been
routed in the second and more de-
cisive engagement
First dispatches mentioned an un-
known number of civilian casualties.
Whether these included any Ameri-
cans was a matter of doubt, since
the fighting took place outside the
city.

Guadalajara is the headquarters
of the Southern Pacific of Mexico
and more than 100 Americans are
employed in its railroad offices
there.
The rebel victory in yesterdays
fighting occurred at Hopulu, just a
few miles from Guadalajara. From
there the instructions advanced
upon the small farming town Of San
Nicholas and looted IL.
Marching upon the nearby town
Of Soyotland, the rebels not only
pillaged il, but tore down and set
fire to the buildings in retaliation
for the resistance to the attack
made by the townspeople.
The rebel victory was short lived,
however, for a short distance from
Soyotlan the federals, reinforced by
members of the agrarian party re-
engaged them. The rebels fled to
