 City Has Never Been Taken.
 Besides being the capital Of the stafe Chihuahua with a population nor mally Of 35,0OO, is the metropolis Of northern Mexico. Neither in the Ma dero revolution nor in the present up- rising has Chihuahua been taken from the federalS. It's garrison and the commanding positions for sharpshoot- CTS and machine guns afforded by the cathedral and the public buildings heretofore had presented a formidable barrier to invaders.
