Chihuahua, Mexico, July General
Victoriano Huerta. COMMUNICATIVE chief
Of the government forces in Northern
Mexico, rode triumphantly into the city
of Chihuahua at 10 a. m. to-day.
General Teller and General Rabago, in
command of two brigades of cavalry, en-
tered the city a short time before, but
were Immediately dispatched northwest
toward Casas Grandes to head off the
fleeing rebel army.
To the number OF foreign flags raised
many days ago by foreign residents, who
feared that a season Of loot would follow
the rebel retreat and evacuation, were
added hundreds of Mexican banners, Civ
ing the city a holiday aspect.
The entry Of Huertas army reduced
the high nervous tension under which
foreign residents had lived ever since
rebel reverses in this section began. The
reaction found expression in a general
welcome which was little less than an
ovation. The same people who until 4
week ago were loud in their protestations
of friendship for General Orozco and his
ragged and undisciplned army stood in
the streets applauding the victorious
General Huerta and his columns of reg
ulars with shouts of viva MADEIRA"
The coming Of Huerta means the res
toration of railroad communication with
Torreon. though 1t simultaneously cuts
off the city on the north from Juarez
and the American border. This city had
been mulct of supplies and business had
long been at a standstil.
Many mines now will be reopenei
General Huerta has been engaged just
two months In rebuilding 1875 miles %
railway destroyed by the rebels as they
retreated from Torreon.
sauz (Orozco's Headquarters), July T.
Determined to continue In defiance Of the
constituted government General Orozco
!olled in his bed to-day, giving final orders
for beginning the guerilla warfare which
he purposes waging until Malero Is
forced TO resign"
The defeated rebel commander late to-
day had made no definite announcement
regarding his itinerary. Those members Of
hts staff closest to him profess to believe
that he will send to Juarez the comman-
deered private car in which he has ridden
away from three battlefelds and travel
with his men on horseback over the gov
eminent road to Casas Grandes, rs miles
due northwest
One reason for this belief is the sensi-
tiveness OF the general, who made no et-
fort to-day to conceal his chagrin at the
rebel defeat at Bachimba three DAYS ago.
Contrary TO the advice OF his most compe-
tent officers. he ordered the fight, belev-
ing there was a chance TO win. Failure
was expected by nine-tenths OF his officers
because ammunition was short.
Orozco admitted to-day that he had fin
ished with organized warfare. He said:
II was useless for us to attempt to
stand against Huerta's cannon. From now
on we will fight but after the manner OF
guerillas. When We get chance We Will
strike the federals and then retreat. We
will engage In no more pitched battles.
We will leave behind us q region devas-
tated and desolate We will obtain fresh
RECRUITS in the country through which we
ride. But foreign interests will be pro-
teCted. We not making war Amer
leans or American investments. MaderO
and his government are the objects of our
attack.
Sonora will be the first state to fee!
the effect of the new campaign. but it -
the ambition OF Orozco 10 extend the field
OF operations soon to states near Mexico
City.
General Creche Campos was one Of the
officers al the conference Of chiefs here
to-day. and 10 him was intrusted the mis-
sion OF operating in the territory south
OF ten city OF Chihuahua. now held by
General Huerta. In all eight columns will
be sent out. each one acting Independently.
