MEXICAN SITUATION.

Mexico City. Dec. 2.-Mexico City
oficialdom showed distinct signs OF
panic today at reports that the fed
eral garrison OF chihuahua City had
evacuated the town without awaiting
the rebels arrival and was scattering
toward the border and to the west.
ward into the Mountains, leaving
his followers almost into the out
skirts of the capital.
That villa would lose no time In
pushing southwark was accepted as
foregone conclusion, and with Pre-
sldent Huerta's troops here unpaid
and in a state Of semi-revolt, II was
considered by no means certain that
any more effective resistance would
be made in Mexico City than in Chi
huahua. News OF the summary exc
cution to which many of Villas fed.
eral prisoners have been doomed did
nothing to cheer the perturbed Of
ficials here.
The story OF the collapse of resist.
ance at chihuahua City was, oil
course not published in Mexico City
and the masses of the native popula-
tion and the rank and file OF the
troops had not heard It, but the Of
fetal class, the well-to-do and the
foreign residents were fully In.
formed.

FL Paso, Dec. General villa
seemed to be taking his time today
about occupying chihuahua City,
now deserted, according to all ac-
counts, by It's federal garrison, and
it was the general impression that
he was in communication with Cen
eral Carranza with a view to effect
ing a concentration of all available
rebel forces there preparatory to an
advance on Mexico City
Besides the federals at Chihuahua
City, It was said, a large part of the
civilian population had also started
overland for the American border,
in preference to remaining to starve
In their own homes
Reports we're current that the fed
eral garrlsons Of Mazatlan and Quay
mas were also about to evacuate
those towns, but they lacked confirm
alton.
II was said that a military court
would try Antonio Caballero Of Cu-
llacan, under arrest by General Car
ranzas order at Hermosilo, charged
with plotting federal uprising
against the rebels IN northern Mex
leo.
The controversy between General
villa and German Consul Weber, at
Juarez, concerning General Castro,
who had command Of the federal gar
rison there when villa captured the
town, did not prove to be a test after
all.
villa believed that Castro had taxi
en- refuge with Weber asked General
Carranza for orders, and was In
structed to ask Weber to surrender
him. villa looked either for re-
fusal or compliance, but to his sur
prise the Germans answer simply
was that he was mistaken-that
Castro was not and had not been at
the consulate. a
Nor do know where he is hid
ing" he added.
