El Paso, Tex. — Desperate fighting in an attack on Parral, Chihuahua, entailing a heavy loss of life in a 50- hour battle, was rei>orted in belated dispatches reaching here late Wednes­ day. Some 1500 constitutionalistas, rebelling against Huerta’s national government in Chihuahua, were driven back by almost an equal number of federal regulars, and the city, center of American mining and industrialjn- terests, was demolished by bombard­ ment and street fighting, in which even the townspeople engaged. The ex-insurrecto troops, who re­ belled against the Huerta government and left Parral last week after mobil­ izing and recruiting at Santa Barbara, nearby, returned on March 5 to retake the city. One thousand federate from Chihuahua City had reinforced the 200 regulars at Parral. On the afternoon of the Sth insur­ gents attacked and the battle contin­ ued until the evening of the 7th. On the morning of the last day the rebels took the fortified hills surrounding the city, driving the federate to cover in the town. Colonel Mercado, the garrison com­ mander, and Colonel Castro, who had brought him the reinforcements from the state capital, called for volunteers to retake the outlying positions. Five hundred men responded and after charges and almost hand-to-hand fight­ ing drove the insurgents from the hills. Then the constitutionalistas concen­ trated their fire on the south section of the town, driving the city officiate from their houses and causing great loss of life to the residents. At night the insurgents withdrew. During the fighting mobs of townspeople rioted, burning the market place and attack­ ing the banks. Volleys from the sold­ iers soon quieted the internal disturb­ ances. HOLDS CLINIC’ Supervte«* Treatment of Seventeen Cases of Tuberculoaia.
