SOUTHERN DEPARTMENT HEAD-
QUARTERS WITHOUT DEFINITE
INFORMATION ON BATTLE.
Military experts at Fort Sam Houston
la>t uitfbt were unable to make "head or
tail" of the Chihuahua situation. State
Department spies keeping General Fred-
erick Fuuston informed on the situation
were supplied with information only from
Carrau/.u sources in Juarez and they were
doubtful of the authenticity of these.
So far as was accurately known there
was a lull in the battle of Chihuahua City,
Treviuo and Ozuna btjiuK still in the town
and Villa some fifteen miles to the south.
Military experts at Fort Sam Houston
expressed the belief that both Treviuo
iiud the Vlilistas were short of ammuni-
tion and that they were waiting each for
the other to make a move before striking
another blow. It was known that Obregou,
Mexican Minister of War, had refused to
give Treviuo sufficient ammunition. Fed-
eral agents in Kl l'aso were in possession
of information to contradict the statements
that Villa had captured any considerable
quantity of ammunition in his battles
with Maycotte and Ozuna at Palermo
Palomat.
In so far as any Americans, either army
or State Department knew, the battle be-
tween the bandits and the de facto govern-
ment for the Chihuahua capital was still
indecisive.
Special agents of the Department of Jus-
t i« e reported to General Fuuston last night
that the battle of Chihuahua was still in
doubt.
It was expected that General Murguia
with two columns of cavalry and one of
infantry would reach the rear of the Vil-
llsta army some time last night.
There is nothing to indicate that either
General Jacinto Trevlno or General Ozuna
had left the Trevlno capital. *
Andres Garcia, inspector general of the
Mexican consulates, stated late tonight
that he had accurate information that
Murguia with his forces was in contact
with the Villlstas. but Federal agents
had no other information to corroborate
this statement.

KL PASO, Tex., Nov. 27.-When told of
the report that the Carranza forces had
evacuated Chihuahua and withdrawn to the
south to join Murguia's column, Andreas
Garcia, inspector general of Mexican con-
sulates. replied this was a matter on which
no information had yet been received at
Juarez, lie declined to comment further,
saying that he hoped for definite news
soon.
ApproVnsjon was expressed In the mili-
tary In I' |tin i ters at Juarez that the five
days oi righting had seriously reduced the
stores oi the Chihuahua arsenal, especially
in regard to shells, as Trevlno. In bis re-
ports, believed in heavy artillery in his
I'lan of defense.
A number of military passes were issued
in Juarez todav to timid residents wishing
to stay in El l'aso until the crisis passed.
Carranza officers said tonight thi\t they
expected to take the field under the com-
mand of General Gonzales against the Villa
forces, believed to be moving northward.

KL PASO, Tex., Nov. 27 — On the fifth
•lay of the battle for (be poaaeasloil of1
Chihuahua City, local Carranclstas ad
mitted that up to date Villa apparently
had the best of It. lie still surrounded
the Treviuo capital and the town still was
in a state <»f siege.
Carraudsta agents in Juarez declared
they received within the last twenty-four
hours only one authentic message from
Trevlno, which they said came through
Ojlnaga.
The bulk was that "the situation was
unchanged," but the Currauciata repre-
sentatives refused to explain how they got
it. State Department representatives were
skeptical.
During the day telegraph communica-
tion between Juarez and Chihuahua City
was not repaired. The only alleged in-
formation as to the progress of the bat-
tle came through courier. The govern-
ment agents were unable to verify any
of the ostensible Information glveu out by
the de facto representatives. Geueral Gou-
zales insisted he expected momentarily in-
telligence that Murguia with two columns
of cavalry and one of infantry had at-
tacked the rear right flank of the VII
listas, but he was unable to show any-
thing in writing to back up the state-
ment.

Juarez Judge Receives Report Bandit
Finally Repulsed From
Chihuahua.
Bf Associated I'rnt.
JLAHEZ, Mexico, Nov. 27.—Judge Fran-
cisco Martinez of thu court of letters here
announced today he had received informa-
tion from official sources that Villa had
been completely driven away from Chihua-
hua City and was rotreuting toward the
mountains.
Auothet report in circulation both hern
and in Kl Paso stated General Treviuo had
sent a courier to Terrazas station with a
message announcing a complete route of
tlie Villa forces. This report could not bo
confirmed at military headquarters.
Judge Martinez added that Villa had en-
tered the city at different points during
the day, according to a report he received
Sunday, but had been repulsed, the judge
said. Communication with Chihuahua Clly
is expected to be resumed late today, uc
cording to General Francisco Gonzales.
A message was received from the station
agent at 'JVrrnzns station, twenty-eight
miles north of Chihuahua, saying a repair
trtln was expected to reach there at noon
from the direction of the state capital.
The smoke of the work train locomotive
could be seen near Corral, the Terrnzas
[ gellt said over the wire. General Gonzales
ordered the agent to ascertain the condi-
tions In Chihuahua City from the train
crew as soon as It reached Terra/,as and
to report to him here.
The Carranza staff here now believe Villa
has been driven away from the northern
part of the state capital. They base their
belief upon the fact that the work train,
which had reported Its progress by tele
graph, was able to leave Chihuahua City.
The railroad enters the capital from the
north and had there been any bandits In
the zone to the north or northeast of the
city they would have prevented the repair
train from leaving to repair the line, the
officers say.

State Department Officials Now Await
Report of Carranza's
Attitude.
Orders for the withdrawal of the expedi-
tionary foicea from Mexico must t.onio
from tho Wur Department. Reports to the
effect that Geueral Funstou will order
General 1'* rshliiK's command back Into the
United States at such a time as he deems
best are said to be untrue. The Southeru
Deiartiuent coiumaudtr declared yesterday
that he did not intend to take any hucu
step until lie receives lust ructions from
thu War Department to that effect.
In reference to rumors that Genernl
Pershing was advancing toward Chihua-
hua, where the VilllstaN and Carranza
forces arc fighting for the possession of
the city. Geueral Fuftston declared that the
I'nltcd States troops had made no move
In thai direction. General l'crshing re-
ceives his orders direct from General Fun-
ston and the latter declared that he had
given none to this effect.
There Is little doubt felt In military
circles thnt the outcome of the campaign ,
nbout the City of Chihuahua will have a |
direct influence upon the mutter of the I
disposition of the American expeditionary :
fotces in Mexico. According to the protocol |
rlgned by the American and Mexican com-
missioners ut Atlantic City. "General Persh-
ing's troops ure to be withdrawn within
forty days from the date of the approval
of the protocol, provided that within thnt
time conditions nave not become such us
to endanger the American border."
It was pointed "lit t hat 11' Villa is BUG
cessful in Ills attacks unon Chihuahua and
captures the city lie will lie in control of
practically the entire State of Chihuahua.
he American border in this event, it was
declared, could hardly be said to be free
from danger, it is believed in many quar-
tern tluit 11' Villa Is not eliminated before
the expiration of the forty days mentioned
In the protocol conditions in Mexico will
be far from peaceful. To decrease the force
r.l >ng the border or to withdraw General
Pershing's command under these circum-
stanced, it is thought, would hardly bo
wise.

the polls. No definite Information hud
been received from Chihuahua City either
by Carriiin'istiiN, VIllistaR or United States
iiK'ents tn show thut either side had the
best of it.
So far 11s couId be learned Villa wan
fifteen miles south of Chihuahua City and
(leneral .luclnto Trevlno and General Ozuna
were still In the town. There had been
no ret rent of the de faeto troops and It
was supposed thut Villa wa» south of
the town for the purpose of anticipating
the arrival of (leneral Morula with a con
Hlilerable number of Carranclata cavalry
ami infantry.
It was announced by the El l'aso con-
sulate that Mnritula was due to reach
the Villa rear guard late tonight, but on
account of the admitted break lu tele-
graphic communications tills was assumed
by the 1'nlted States agents to be largely
guesswork.
In the meantime all of the Mexican of-
ficials. both Carranclsta and Vllllsta, pro-
fessed to have messages by way on Ojln-
aga that Murgult will endeavor to raise
the siege and strike the bandits a blow-
that will result In raising the siege of
the stricken city. General Mariano Tames,
who deserted from Juarez two months ago
with about five hundred men, Is said
to be holding Jimenez. It Is supposed
that he Is acting In the Interests of Vllia,
but Federal agents here were unable to
verify tills report.

First Hill in Philippine Congress Would
Annul Restrictions.
Hy Associated Press.
MANILA. 1'. I., Nov. 27.—The first bill
offered In the new Philippine Congress,
presented In the House of Representatives,
provides for the abolition of the so-called
"flag law," which prohibits the display or
possession of flags or emblems bearing tho
Katipunan Insignia. The Katlpunan So-
ciety was a secret organization which
played a similar role in the revolution
ngalnst Spain In 1X1MJ and a similar part
lu the Insurrection against the United
States. In 1007 following a political parade
in which the Katipunan flag was glorified
and the American flag shown disrespect,
the commission, then the iolt legislative
body, passed a law prohibiting the use of
the Katipunan emblem.
Half a dozen other bills of a similar
character were also presented at the ftrst
session of the House. Most of them pro-
vide for pardons for those who are now
serving orison terms for displaying or
owning Katipunan emblems. One bill au-
thorizes the appointment of a committee
to devise meann for a Filipino army to
protect the Islands when their independence
Is recognized. Compulsory military train
lng In the public schools Is to be a part
of this system of military preparedness.
