CURRENT EVENTS
OF THE WEEK
Dungs of tbe World at Large
Told in Brief.
FEDERALS
DEFEATED.
Mexican Rebels In Superior Force In
flict Great Damage.
Casas Grandes, Chihuahua. Mexico
— Federal forces attempting to hem in
tbe rebels here and at Juarez suffered
their first defeat Wednesday. Cour
iers coming overland from Ojitas, 60
miles west o f here, said the rebels
who left here last week met and de
feated the federals under General Jose
de la Luz Blanco.
General Blanco is said to have only
600 men, while the rebels numbered
2000.
The messengers said that
Blanco’s forces were driven back to
ward the Sonora state line to join
General Sanjines, who is advancing
with the main body o f federals.
Particulars o f the battle are lack
ing, the couriers leaving before an or
ganized investigation o f the losses
was
made.
Fighting
continued
through the day, the federals retreat
ing under cover o f night.
It was reported to rebel leaders
here that the main force o f federals
moving from the south had reached
Temosachic, 30 miles south o f Madera.
The fe d e ra l are reported to number
2000 seasoned regulars led by Gener
als Rabago and Telles. As the rebel
garrison at Madera 'numbers no more
than that, and as this town virtually
was evacuated by
the movement
against General Blanco, it is probable
that the federals w ill enter this dis
trict without an engagement.
Eight hundred rebels are operating
along'the national railway between
Juarez and Gallego, opposite this
point. Tbe Juarez garrison has been
strengthened to 800 men.
When the army led by General
Sanjines crosses the Chihuahua line
the federal troops will outnumber
largely the rebels in Chihuahua.
Still another army of federals is
moving along the line o f the national
railway from the city o f Chihuahua.

They made the next ten miles In
ten minutes, having a fair road. Then
rough hills and villages somewhat
lowered their pace. It was a dizzying
rush through a gale of wind, a blrdllk«
cleaving of tbe summer air, accompa
nied by the weird howl of the electric
horn upon which Stanton kept a fin

There was a curious circumstance.
Valerie Carlisle literally cowered In
her seat, pale, shivering, usually with
her eyes shut. Yet sue, the Imperious

some obvious danger of cliff or road.
Stanton saw, from the corner of his
eye, and speculated as he drove.
“ Do you think this Is safe?" Mr. Car

"I think so, if nothing breaks," Stan

around a load of hay.

"How do you like the car?” she

Stanton surveyed her, almost sur-

“ It hasn’t the Mercury’s pull, to
