Naco, expressed belief the Oft
threatened attack from rebels UNI
der Fuasto Topete would not de-
velop.
To the south there were signs
that federal forces had pushed
farther northward into rebel terri
tory. The associated Press repre-
sentative at Culiacan, Sinaloa, re-
ported a federal column was ap-
preaching that city from Durango
and a rebel force had been sent out
to meet it.
Rebel headquarters asserted a
small detachment of revolutionaries
still were besieging MazatIan and
the principal western ~insurrectory
army under General Francisco r.
Manzo was heading south for Topic
after abandoning its attack upon
Mazatlan.
The federal army near Culiacan
was looked upon as the chief men,
ace to the revolutionary cause IN
the north, as it is a potential in

General Almazan-S column battled
through wastes Of sand today striv-
ing to come up with the rebels who
are still retreating toward Chihu-
hua.
The general abandoned his at
tempt to repair the damaged rail-
ways as he advanced and took to
automobiles on Monday, personally
leading a long column Of trucks to a
desert camp a few miles north of
Bermejillo.
The artillery and cavalry moved
under their own power while the
infantry was carried on trucks.
Binding clouds Of dust hid the col
umn as it picked its way through
cactus and mesquite.
Only two small wells were found
for Monday nights camp and these
were entirely inadequate for Gen
eral Almazan'S 10000 men and thou
sands of animals.
The general hoped to reach the
vicinity Of EScalon shortly where
he will r~e-establish telegraph COM
munication with his base at Tore
on.
Federal planes flew over the
camp on Tuesday dropping messages
to keep General Almazan in touch
with his advance guard and the
movements Of the rebel forces.
