Antonio Villareal, who entered Mexico | on horseback from the United States | | several months ago in deflance of a | government ban. is said in a government statement. to have been named chief of | the garrison at Torreon by Gen. Escobar, rebel leader. | Raoul Madero, a relative of the late President Madero: Manuel Amaya, chief |of the protocol section of the foreign office under President Carranza. and Gen. Luis Guitierrez, former governor of | the State of Coahuila. also were declared to have affiliated themselves with the rebels during Escobar’s occupancy of | Monterey. Rebels Hold Torreon. Strong rebel forces today held Tor- | reon, an industrial city in Western | Coahuila near the Durango line, while federal troops were missing at Guadala- | jara for a nopthward counter-offensive. | " The federal government admitted that | the insurgents had effected a coalition of troops under Gen. Francisco Urbalejo {and Gen. Escobar, which would re- | | quire a major offensive to dislodge. The | position is: strategic, commanding the important north and south ralway | through the heart of the country and | also several minor east and west lines. | This threat. was temporarily at least, | i blocked. by the troop barrier thrown | up by Gen. Anacleto Lopez in the state of Zacatecas, directly*to the south. | Meanwhile, Gen. Lazaro Gardenas, who was appointed supreme commander of all federal forces in the states of Jaliseo, Guanajuato and Michoacan, was | mobilizing these forces at Guadalajara. Whether this army would be first directed against Torreon. or would move westward to meet the rebel advance in | Sinaloa, was not known. Vera Cruz Almost Normal. The fedgral government wa’s confident that its campaign in the state of Vera Cruz was nearing a glorious end Strong federal forces have entered the | city of Vera Cruz and today had re- | | stored it almost to normal. Their vic- | tory had been won for them by a small | force of deserters from the rebel ranks | under Lieut. Col. Jose Cervanfes. who drove Gen. Jesus M. Aguirre from the ! city after a day of bloody street fighting. Cervantes then found himself with a worn, and battered command holding a city cut off from all communication with federal forces only a few mliles away. He reached them by cabling to the Mexican embassy in Washington, | which relayed his appeal to Mexico | City and fresh federal troops hastened forward to relieve his weary men. Aguirre Enlers Tehuantepec Isthmus. It was definitely learned that Aguirre retreated to the Isthmus of Tehuante- pec. in the southern part of Vera Cruz. where he had hoped to find additional supporters. However, Gen. Alejandro Mange was marching across the isthmus from the state of Oaxaca and, with other troops following up Aguirre. it was hoped to catch him between two fires. The Mexican navy was due at Tampico today to refuel and will then begin a patrol of the Guif Coast to prevent es- cape by sea of Aguirre.

Villa Once Delayed Capture of Juarez Over World Seri By the Associaled Press SAN FRANCISCO, March 8 The spectacle of a rebel army battling federal troops in an effort to capture .Juarez today recalled the story of how Pran- 0 (Pancho) " Villa, Mexican revolutionaty leader apd bandit chieftain, postponed an advance upon th- border town hocause of the 1913 base ball world series. Villa was encamped south of Juarez and desired possession of the border town because of its wealth-producing _sources. An American newspaper man, Norman Wa'ker, knew Villa in- timately. Villa told him he ex- pected to attack Juarez on a day that coincided with the opening of the series. “Pancho.” said Walker, “vou are foolish to do that. Don't you know that the American news- papers will be filled with base ball and nobody will pay any attention to your battie?” Villa sgreed to wait and 10 days or so later advanced upen Juarez and captured it. inhabitants. the rebels sacked Teocelo and towns in the state. | Two rebel generals were said to have fallen in the street fighting which pre- ceded the fall of Vera Cruz. One was named Gama. The other was Luis de la Sierra, who served Aguirre as chief of staff. He was a_member of the Na- tional Chamber of Deputies and left the capital only a few days ago to join the military forees other Aguirre’s: Traln Found. The train in which Gen.

Abelardo Redriguez of Lower California. who said he was advised of the move- ment of the troops in a long-distance ielephone message from the Mexican capital.
