Hard battle at Leon as Villa drives toward Silao
Gen. Felipe Angeles wires from Leon that Villa forces have driven Obregon’s troops from the mountains, capturing Silao and forcing the defenders toward Trinidad. The left wing’s movement left Silao in Villa hands, with enemy forces surrounded in their last positions at Trinidad. Meanwhile Lascurain, former foreign minister under Madero, is cited as a potential suitable successor if Mexico’s leaders fail to unite, with U.S. note diplomacy and Carranza’s likely defiance noted.
