P.)—Newspaper correspondents ac- companying the rebel armies in their advance on México City telegraphed early this morning that the situa- tion in the state of Puebla was un- Shanged but that a battle apparently was iniminent. The main body of the insurgent troops has joined the advance guard and the rebels are now entrenched in & line that runs from Esperanza northwest to Oriento, a distance of 35 miles and thence wett to Apizaco, a stretch of 30 miles. The Obregon: forces are centered at San Andres, 30 miles south of Oriental, where Generals Topete and Almanazan have about 1,000 men. At Tuhuacan, 35 miles south of Esper- anza, two generals have a similar nunmber of troops, and at San Mar- cos\the loyalists have another body of troops. It is evidently the aim of the Obregon forces to prevent the Esperanza and Oriental rebel col- umns from meeting at San Marcos, where the Mexican and inter-oceanic railways cross each other. “It is between these points, sure- ly,” writes one correspondent, “that the deciding battle for the posses- sion of Mexico City will be fought.” DECISIVE BATTLE NEAR. Mexfco City, Dec. 13.—It is gen- erally felt here that a decisive bat- tle here and the Sanchez forces and the troops of President Obregon will be fought on the Vera Cruz front near where Carranza was defeated by Sanchez in 1919. The government continues to concentrate soldiers in that district to oppose the advance of the rebels: President Obregon has rejected the { mediation offer of General A.
