MEXICO CITY. Nov. 2s.--President
Huerta gave orders tpday that the
deputies OF the previous Congress who
were arrested when that body was
dissolved and Huerta assumed tha
role of dictator are to be placed IN
separate cells afiSf NOT allowed to con-
! municate even with their families
1t is thought probable that the
/ execution of several of the imprisoned
! deputies as traitors TO the Federal
4 government will be ordered without
| delay.
Hundred Ex-Deputies In Prison.
There are now in prison about 100
ex-deputies. 1t Is believed that ti1ee
reason of Huerta's order of this morn
ing was the receipt of information by
the provisional president that plot
was on foot to seize the capital when.
the main body of Federal troops had
left the city to proceed against tho
northern rebels.
1 1t was admitted that General Ra-
bago, military governor OF Tamat-
lipas. has evacuated Victoria, capital
of that State and retreated toward
Tula, to the southeast.
The rebel forces under Pablo Goli-
| zales and Jesus Carranza, anticipate
| ing an attack on Victoria by the conn
bined column of General Rubio, Nav
arrete and Ocarranza. destroyed the
| city and cut the railroad communica>

city was taken after a terrible siege,
which lasted eight days.
With the destruction of this city
! the rebels absolutely control one OF
the only two possible routes for a
Federal advance to the reinforce
ment of the Tampico garrison. 1t
Is admitted that the situation at
Tampico is getting daily more critt-
cal. The direction taken by the re-
treating federals now makes 1t TINS
possible foh them to join in the de.
fense Of Tampico.
Vengeance Ignores Family Ties.
Blood and family ties did not avaii
| to halt the vengeance of the Constitu-
tionalists when the Federal Office
/ holders fell into their hands at the
capture of the city of Victoria, capital
of the State of Tamapaulas.
| State as well as Federal officials
were executed without quarter
Among those killed was young civii>
ian cousin of Enrique Caballero, who
was the leader of the rebels at Vic-
toria and one of the chief lieutenarts
of Venustiano Carranza.
| The young civilian was condemned
to die because he had helped the
Federal troops to defend the city,
| The young mans mother, who is an
aunt of the rebel officer, went on her
knees and begged the life of her som
Caballero's reply was to have his
cousin brought from the prison and
stood in front of a firing squad OF
revolutionists, who shot him down
before his mothers eyes
