The battle between the Carranba garrison at Chihuahua City and 4,000 Villlstas, under personal command of Villa, was Ptlll iu progress early today Un'ted States department agents here declared. They based their statements upon the artlon of the Mexican de facto government authorities in sending every Carranziata soldier available in northern Mexico to the besieged city.

General Gonzales is hurrying every available soldier in the entire State of Chihuahua northward by rail to send to the relief of the State capital. From Santa Buena Ventura, tb garrison of 150 Carranz'stas is be'ng withdrawn together with the garr-rons at Namiqu'pa, Caas Grandes and Guzman, numbering about 100 men each. These reinforcements are being rushed north on the Mex'cm Northwestern Railway to Juarez where they will be transferred to the Mex'can Central and started south. Gonrtiles announced today that Gen. Maycotte, w'th 3,500 de facto troops, is making a forced march north from Santa Rosa'ia to aid the beleaguered parri'on.

Because every bridge south of Chihuahua City has been burned Gonzales it will take several days for Maycotte's force to reach" that c'ty. A band of Vlllfstas under the Mnr-gua brothers were at Bachlwas two days ago and are now headed for the border, according to a report made to Gonzales. EXCEPTION TAKEN TO atr IF J. H.

Of prime basis for thin hope was the utter lack, in all the (Jernian otllcial reportB. of any claims of large captures of prisoners or war munitions. If the Rumanian army had actually been trapped by the encircling movement around Orsova and Turnu-Beverln, reaching over to Craiova, it was regarded as certain the Berlin official reports would have chronicled big captures cf men und supplies.
