AT MAZATLAN

Into Sonora And End
Revolution There
(Rv the Associated Pressl

(By the Associated PreSS)
Defeat of the rebel besiegers OF
Mazatlan left General Gales free
today to continue concentration Of
government forces in north central
Mexico and along the west coast.
General Carrillo, defending COM
mander at Mazatlan, reported that
the rebels after a sanguinary de-
feat were in flight to the north. but
insurgent headquarters at Juarez
denied that the siege had been
lifted.
The federal authorities placed the
losses at Mazatlan at So rebel dead
and three federal dead, seven
wounded.
General Gales strategy is now to
force the insurgents into Sonora
and hold the revolution there until
it can be stamped out.
The insurgents, however, claimed
further outbreaks in central Mex
leo, stating 100 men are concen-
trating in Guanajuato for march
on Mexico City itself.
A battle at Etzatlan, northwest
ern Jalisco, was reported by the
government which gave the casual
ties as 81 rebels and federals
killed.
"A "lost battalion" Of 300 federals
was wandering around near the
Sonora Chihuahua boundtry seek
ing to join loyal forces, but in dan
ger of capture by the rebels.
General AlmaZan, leading one OF
Gales main columns was moving
northward to meet the insurgents
and was concentrating at Bernie
jillo. The insurgents reported fur
ther southerly movements to check
the government forces.
Federal air raids at the rebel
stronghold of Jimenez were re-
ported.
Several truckloads of federals
passed through Yuma. Arizona, and
strengthened the loyal garrison at
Naco, drawing a protest from Gov
ernor Phillips of Arizona who an
nounced further movements Of that
sort would be prevented.
The insurgents meanwhile con-
tinued marching on Naco and were
reported 18 miles from the town.
Mexico City estimates place the
number of federals now in the field
at $4,000 and the insurgents as
about 5000 revolving regulars plus
an unknown number Of ir&gulars-
