lifted
The federal authorities placed the
losses at MaZatlan at So rebel dead
and three federal dead, seven

General Gales strategy is now to

trating in Guanajuato for a 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 6 federals
killed.
A "lost battalion" of 800 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-
