WITHOUT FOOD OR WATER Rebel Less Placed at 100, With Many Wounded on Both Sides- Government Soldiers, Trapped, Unable to Open Way to Retreat. Jiminez, Mexico, March in on all sides by from 3,000 to 4,000 rebel troops and without food. water or ammunition enough to last them for any considerable length of time and fighting desperately to open a war of retreat to Torreon, the 2,000 federal troops are reported to have met complete defeat near Corralitos and to have lost at least 400 men besides hundreds of wounded. The rebel loss is placed at a hundred. The federal commander, General Blanquet, was wounded.

The fourth day's consecutive fighting opened early. When it began the rebels practically had the federals surrounded. The federals were weak and tired, as they dared not prepare anything to eat during the night, the rebels firing every time a campfire blazed. Generals Salas and Blanquet were both in command of the federsis. The report that Salas was wounded was unfounded.

Blanquet was wounded during the day. however, leaving Salas alone in command. The only hope of the federals was that General Trucy Aubert would be able to come up with re-enforcements and break through one of the rebel lines so that the federal army might retreat. General Salazar, in command of the rebels, expressed no fear of this, however, as Aubert and his 500 cavalrymen, who are en route from Mapini, Durango, were reported at Gerro Gordo, thirty miles from the scene of the lighting The fighting has been desperate, and much bravery has been shown on both sides. The dead and wounded is extremely heavy.

The rebel wounded have been brought back to at intervals. The federals are compelled to leave their wounded on the field uuder the fire of the rebels. The rebels have held the best positions in command of the bills, east and west. pouring a constant fire from artillery down on the federals. Machine.

guns have also been kept working into the ranks from the north, with the rebels in the rear also keeping up. constant fire. The rebels bare been suffering but little, but food, water and have been running low with the federals. Heavy artillery for the rebels has arrived at Timines, but was not sent south. Five hundred fresh soldiers from here were sent to Corralitos to relieve the men in the front ranks.

City of Mexico, March special to El Imparcial from. Torreon beadquarters of the federals in the north says they were completely routed by the rebels near Corrolitos. Juarez, Mexico, March telegram from General Orozco to the Jua. rez officials, says, "General Campass reports our victory complete over the federals at Corrolitos." Since the American boundary has been sealed up to the shipment of war materials into Mexico by the recent presidential proclamation General Orozco, in command of the rebels in Chibuabua, appears to have become desperate in the matter of raising funds and obtaining material. Reports indicate that the rebels are endeavoring to force the business houses and banks of Chihuahua to advance a loan of $600,000 gold to be guaranteed by the state of Chihuahua.

None appears willing to make this advance with the guarantee AS tendered, and there is much apprehension in business circles. ANOTHER M'CLINTOCK ADMITTED TO THE BAR On motion of Attorney J. B. Woodward, Gilbert S. McClintock, of Wilkesbarre, a of Attorney A.
