JUAREZ, Mexico, Nov. 28.—A per-
1 sistent report is current here that Tre-
vino has evacuated Chihuahua City
and is retiring eastward, leaving Villa
and his bandits in control of the city.
The report is said to have been brougit
by courier to Terrazas Station and tele-
graphed here.
Carranza officials here say they have
nothing definite regarding the reported
retirement of General Trevino, but ad-
mit the possibility that Villa holds Chi-
huahua City.
One report current, though not cc-
firmed, is that General Trevino was
able to take only his cavalry out of
Chihuahua City, being forced to aban-
don his artillery to Villa and his infan-
try deserting to the bandit leaders.
The message on which the report is
baaed is said to have, been received by
General Gonzales.
Early today, Gonzales with a com-
mand from the Juarez garrison, lft for
Sauz station to make a personal in-
vestigation. and if possible, learn the
fate of the de facto troops in Chihuahua
City.
<>n the train carrying General Gon-
sales and his command, which Approxi-
mated 400 men, was taken a quantity
of ammunition. It is known that am,
munition sent to Trevino st the out-
break of the battle was stolen from the
train near Callego station north of Chi-
huahua City. The escort accompany-
ing today's shipment is expected to pre-
vent a recurrence of the theft. Trevino
is admitted by the Carranza officials
here to be short of ammunition.
Reinforcements for General Trevino
are being assembled in Sauz station and
will be led toward the city by General
Gonsales.
