Chiluahua, March 27—The
! el forces are 3gain advanc
ing on Torreon, with both ar
. aery and infantry. Both sides
have met with success and ai
?o reverses this past couple of
ays, the rebels having lost
heavily in one engagement
when the Federal? caught them
i:i a cross fire and killed them
by the hundred before they
could get out of range. Gen.
Villa ha? taken the field in per
son and has ordered a general
advance on both sides of the
city. Numerically his forces
are stronger than the Federal?,
but the latter know the ground
better and have several good
line? of defense laid out. The
Constitutionalists are rushing
additional men and longer
range guns to the attack and
are evidently preparing for a
regular seige. Students of the
war game among the war cor
respondents doubt Villa’s abil
ity to handle as big a proposition
as the seige promises to be. He
is certainly a wonder in the
field in a dashing attack, but
whether he can sit down and
'by dogged determination wear
the other fellow out is an en
tirely different matter. It is re
ported that he was forced to
evacuate his headquarters at
the Gomez palacio in a hurry
recently to avoid capture, and
many of his plans and papers
fell into the hands of the Fed
erals.
