El Paso,
September 1, 1916, 11 p.m.
Information from Chihuahua to-night confirmed recent battle at Satevo, but is that Villa defeated the Carrancistas, the Carrancistas losing about two hundred men. Villa drove the Carrancistas north. The unconfirmed rumor is that Villa whipped them again at Santa Ysabel and there seized a military train which he [is] said to have used as far as San Andreas from which point he is said to have gone toward Santa Clara Canyon.
