El Taso, Texas. Conflicting reports have the situation at Gomez Palaclo and Torreon one for conjecture.

On the other hand, Miguel Diebold, of Huerta's consular service, exhibited telegrams declaring that the rebels had been re pulsed at all points. Diebold alleged that when at first the rebels thought they had Gomez Palaclo they were the victims of a trap, as a result of which they lost heavily In dead and wounded, not to mention the loss of 600 prisoners. The Federal retreat, he said, was a feint to draw the rebels over 127 dyna mite mines which, he said, were ex ploded under the Invaders with the re sult mentioned. General Villa's telegram, as given out by General Chao, asserted that tho rebels were still maintaining a base at El Verjal, five miles from Gomez Palacio, while the railroad line be tween the two places was being re paired. He added that the Federals had attempted to evacuate Torreon through the hills to the south, but were driven back Into the city. , Villa is said by Chao to have as serted that for the 24 hours preceding his taking of Gomez Palacio the battle was confined mostly to artillery prac tice.
