Federals ambushed command wiped out

An Insurrecto Achievement near Hermosillo

A Report That Orozco Has Abandoned Revolution.

Cananea, march 16. A small band of soldiers arrived at Cananea on Wednesday which is supposed to be a remnant of a company of federals almost annihilated by the insurrectos under Juan Cabral, near Campas. Colonel Anguana is reported killed while refusing to surrender.

The company numbered about fifty five men and officials. It has been pursuing a band of insurrectos and doubled back, trapping the federals in the pass and fired upon them from the hilltops.

General Luis E. Torres has returned to Hermosillo where he will recruit additional soldiers for immediate service in the Cananea district.
