Washington surprised.

'WaShington, Oct 24.-News OF the
recapture Of Vera. Cruz by Mexican
federal forces and the surrender OF
General Felix Diax and his staff with
received with astonishment In official
circles here. It is generally believed
that this event marks the complete
suppression Of what had been looked
upon as the beginning Of general re.
bellion Involving entirely new ele.
menta.
4 brief cablesram to the state dc;
Canada confirmed officially the report
Of the recapture Of Vera Cruz by Gen
eral Beltran. There was some fighting
os the outskirts Of the town. but only
enough to Justify Captain Hughes OF
the cruiser Des Moines. in offering
medical assistance for the wounded.
which was gratefully accepted.
Tho sudden collapse Of the defense.
after such elaborate preparations had
taken as an evidence that the strength
Of the revolutionary sentiment In the
city Of Vera Cruz has been very much
overrated and it was confined closely
to the comparatively small garrison
which hocked to the Diax standard.
principally for sentimental motives.
Already officials and army officers
Dis. and the other officers Of the
Mexican regular army who were led
into this uprising. From the ex-
tremely courteous language itl which
General Beltran. the government COM
mander. couched his demand for the
surrender Of Vera Cruz, 1T is surmised
that the captives will be treated with
great leniency. and although under
strict military Law. they probably
atty. It is rather expected that they
will be Imprisoned In the City Of
Mexico as was General Reyes.
The downfall Of the Diaz move

presumed that the government forces
employed against Diaz will be concen-
trated upon Aguilar. who 10 likely to
be driven back into the mountains:
that the pursuit Of the small bands
into which Orozco's force has broken
up will be resumed and that the only

London. Oct. 24.-The occupation Of

Greek troops is complete according to

News from the seat Of war. tells Of
The Servians have captured Hovipazar
and are virtual masters Of Kumanova.
The victories. however. have been
purchased at heavy sacrifices.
The situation in Trace Is becoming

fought over a wide semi-circular front
before Adrianople. upon which town

Vasilika and Tiroovo and are continu-
ing their advance southwark.
On the west the Bulgarians. ac-

stantinople dispatches. which say
decisive result iss expected tomorrow.
have less confident tone than previ-
Gus dispatches from that capital. They
admit that a heavy struggle 10 in
progress in which both sides are show
ing the utmost bravery.
Information concerning the Monte
negrin progress lis meagre. but the
Turkish authorities claim that Scutari
has been reinforced and is safe. A
Saloniki dispatch asserts that the
Malissori tribes are offended because
the Montenegrin commanders are pro-
claiming the sovereignty Of King
Nicholas in the captured Alhian towns.
They demand that King Nicholas give
q guarantee that he will evacuate AL
banian territory and secure autonomy
for Albania. So far they have receiv.
cd no satisfactory reply and 1t Is re-
ported that they are refusing to hgnt
further for the Montenegrins. whose
advance has been thereby checked.
The next news Of the Greek cam
paign should be an important battle
around the town Of Servia. to which
place the Turks have retreated from
Zlassona and have been reinforced
from the north.
