Heavy Fighting Among Mexican Forces Again.
Chihuahua City, Mexico, Sept. 28. —More than a hundred Villa followers were killed, the bandit leader, Baudelio Uribe, was taken prisoner and heavy casualties suffered by-Car-ranza forces in a terrific fight at Cusihuinachic, an important mining center,' about fifty miles southwest of Chihuahua City, according to a message received this afternoon hy General Trevino from General Matcis Kamos, who was himself slightly wounded. Details of the fight were few and were appended to the request of General Ramos for surgeons and rrfedical supplies. A hospital corps detachment was accordingly rushed to the scene by train. It is stated that the garrison at Cusihuiriachic co-oper-ated with the troops of Ramos, but whether they were attacked or had been the aggressors does not appear. Baudelio Uribe, Villa’s chief lieutenant, was the originator of the idea of cutting off the ears of captured government soldiers. Many others of his command are reported to have been made prisoner.
