REBELS TRAPPED WITHIN
 CITY JIMENEZ, BRIDGES BURNED, SEEK WAY OUT

UNDATED, April 3-4, R)- Trapped within the city of Jimenez the rebel troops under General Es- cobar, are reported desperately seeking a way to retreat to the North, while the powerful federal forces are steadily closing in on them. Bridges leading out of Jimenez were burned by the Fed erals several days ago, making re- treat by rail almost impossible.
 Federal planes bombed the rebels necessarily in a definite clear cut victory lasting two days in violent fighting for possession of Jimenez, are the claims of the government, which hopes for a federal victory and presages the collapse of the rebel movement in Chihuahua.
 General Gales said that the ex- termination of the rebels was only 2 question of hours. The rebel losses are placed at one hundred and the federal's are unannounced
 The rebel version of the battle is lacking as the telegraph lines are interrupted. The last rebel message received yesterday, report ed the capture of thousand fed erals, the destruction of a plane and further victories on the West coast. It is also reported by the Mexican government at Naco and Sonora that the population is on edge in anticipation of further rebel air raids, but the insurgents have given assurance that no more bombs would fall on the American side of the border
