A t the Federal F ront, Conejos,
Mexico, May 13.—Twelve hours of
brisk fighting on the desert plains 300
m iles south of the American border
between a force of 6000 rebels under
General Orozco and an equally strong
body of federals under General H uerta
resulted today in a decided advantage
to the governm ent.
The fighting was begun a t day
break, and a t nightfall the sandy
mesas betw een here and Yermo, 14
m iles north, w here the insurrectos
w ere gradually foiced back, w ere cov
ered w ith dead and wounded.
N early 600 are believed to have
been killed and wounded on both
sides. A courier brought the inform
ation th a t General Trucy A ubert, the
dashing federal commander, had been
shot in the leg.
The rebels abandoned ten cannon
and much am m unition in th e ir retreat.
General Joaquin Tellez, who had
been stationed in the rear of H u e rta ’s
vanguard, a t noon was sent around to
the eastw ard to flank the rebels and
cut off th eir retrea t.

the second day of fighting will prove
equally decisive.
This town, only yesterday occupied
by the vanguard of the rebels, was
riddled w ith bullets when the federals
galloped into it a t sunset.
Over the
foothills to the north the insurrectos
could be seen retreatin g .
General H u erta has been receiving
many telegram s of congratulation on
the outcome o f the day ’s fighting.
Should the advantage gained today be
followed by equal success tomorrow,
the federal leaders are confident it
will mean the annihilation of the in-
surrecto arm y.

I t was the steady artillery fire of
the governm ent troops th a t dislodged
the enemy. The aim of the federal
gunners was true.
They began to
shell the rebel positions a t daybreak.
For a tim e the insurrectos fired in vol
leys, and seven federal officers were
wounded. Only a few hours, how
ever, they withstood the fierce can
nonading, and soon began to evacuate
th e ir positions.
G eneral Tellez arrived a t nightfall
w ith a detachm ent of 1600 men in the
valley behind Conejos, w here the van
guard of the rebels was gathered. It
seems likely tonight th a t unless the
rebels continue to fight desperately, a
large num ber of prisoners will be ta k
