MONTEREY CAPTURED
BY MEXICAN REBELS
AFTER BLOODY FIGHT
Combination of Recklessness
Give Important City Over to
'Huerta' Foes Led by Cen
eral Blanco.
Unburied Dead Scattered
About Streets---Incendiary
Fires Add to Horror---Quiet
Reigns Elsewhere on Eve Of
Elections.

BROWNSVILLE, TEXAS. Oct. rs.
With a thousand unburied dead
scattered among it's suburbs and 9TH
ers burning in great funeral pyres,
Monterey, late today. faced situa-
ton more appalling than the nine-day
battle. which resulted in the capture
of the city by constitutionalists, under
General Lucio Blanco.
Several incendiary fires already have
been extinguished and 1t was feared
that nightfall might give the city over
to raplne. Reports, apparently re-
liable, and coming over the broken
telephone wire that runs to within
twenty miles of Monterey, paint vari-
Gus other horrors.
Few Nom Combatants Killed.
The number of nom combatants kill
ed Is considered remarkably small. 1t
Is said the total number probably will
not exceed thirty. Several women
are among these. This figure does
not include the regular camp follow
ers. Of whom at least a score more
persisted. some of them fighting side
by side with the men.
The city is filled with indisciplined
soldiers. and an order not to sell m.
toxicants is being ignored Where
proprietors stand by the order of Gem
eral Blanco the troops invade the
cafes and take whatever they want.
This morning more than q dozen
men were executed as a result Of OUT
RACES committed by them, but the
discipline attempted has proved
farce.
The capture Of Monterey was ef-
fected by a remarkable combination
of strategy and recklessness- The
rebel force numbered approximately
four Thousand, opposing TIVE thousand
federaIs. General Blanco's men had
fewer pieces of artillery, 1t SCENE,
than they were credited with.
Face Terrible Fire.
In the face ~ terrible nre, the
| besiegers charged through a network
of wire fences and used their machine
guns with an utter disregard Of
whether their men. noncombatants or
the federal troops were shot down.
The federal guns. for some reason.
were poorly served and several times
the defenders had to rely entirely
upon their small arms. =.
The first entry into Monterey seems
to have been over the lines of the
International railway. A half-armor-
ed train, loaded with constitutionalistS,
was run almost to the heart Of the
town, remaining on the rails, al
though almost torn 10 pieces with
cannon shot Probably half OF the
two hundred men aboard persisted,
and many of the others were wounds
ed,
Several generals and other promf-s
1 nent officers are among the dead. How
severe was the lighting is shown BY
the fact that less than half the sur
vivors on both sides are uninjured.
The prisoners taken are estimated at
fifteen hundred. Carranza has sent
word that there must be no executions
without a formal trial.
No foreigners are known to have
suffered.
