of Col. Luis Terrazas, who is held by
Gen Pancko villa for $5oO,000 ransom,
Col. Alberto Terrazas, a brother of the
prisoner, and Col. Alexandra Guilty, a
brother-in-law, resigned their commits

day. Both are in Presiiio, Tex, having
left the federal forces at Ojinaga, and
both will come TO El Paso tomorrow TO
meet a representative sent by Villa to
arrange for the release of Terrazas
when the. ransom is paid.
Villas representative is the former
governor of Chihuahua, Aureliano Con-
zales. He has arrived in Juarez, and
will cross TO FL Paso as soon as the
former federal officers arrive.
That the $4,000 will be paid by Gen.

Will Leave Huerta.

That the Terrazas family will cut loose
from the cause of Huerra, and that the!
may give, substantial assistance TO the
rebel government is declared by rebels
10 be probable. The reaSment Villa has
accorded 10 Colonel Terrazas,. in giving
him quarters in the palace instead OF
sending him to the penitentiary, and in
preventing his execution, which was de-
manded by other rebel officers, has won
the admiration of the Terrazas clan,
and while they resent having TO pay a
heavy penalty to obtain the release of
the prisoner. they are grateful that his
life has been spared.
General Terrazas contributed to the
support of the federal army in Chihua-
hua for months. 1t was his money that
met the monthly payroll when there was
no money forthcoming from Mexico
City. II was his money which made
possible the exodus rom Chihuahua
City when villa menaced 1t, and which
supplied the food and the inspiration for
the trip across the desert to Ojinaga.
