Outgeneraled and defeated with a less of more than one hundred soldiers killed , the fed eral forces of General Laque are di vided and cooped up in the towns ol Ojinaga and Cuchillio Parrado. General Luque , with less than one hundred men , occupies Ojinaga and Colonel Dorante , with about two hun dred cavalry , is at Cuchillio Parrado.

Follow Ing the rebel ambuscade , into which he was driven at Coyame last week , where he lost more than one hundret killed , Colonel Borante on Sunday led his men from their place of refuge with the evident intention of avoid ing the mountain trails where chances of another ambush by the insurrectoa were plentiful. The rebels , undo Jose de la Cruz Sanchez and T Orega , quickly divined Dorante's pu. pcse. The result was that the leadei of the federal soldiers was flanked , and when his file atempted to pass J through a canyon at Boquillita , a mur derous fire met them. The command rushed from the canyon and a detach ment of insurrectos charged them. fierce fight ensued. Slowly the fe .erals were forced back in the dire. , Uon of Cuchillio Parrado.
