    MEXICO CITY, Aug. 2.— Twenty-five hundred rebels were defeated in a second battle at Ojitos, according to a message from Gen. Sanjines, commander of tne Federals. The dispatch states that during the retreat 500 of the enemy were cut off by Gen. Blanco's cavalry, and many were killed. The routed rebels fled toward Casas Grandes, abandoning three pieces of artillery and much ammunition and provisions.
    In official circles it is contended that this defeat ends the possibility of a rebel invasion of Sonora. While Gen. Sanjines is heading off the insurgents in that direction, the Federals are closing in from the southeast. Gen. Tellez is reported to have reached Madera with 2,500 regulars, and Gen. Rabago is advancing along the Mexican Central Railway at Montezuma with another 2,500 men.
