 Brownsville, Texas, Nov. 1S.-With the loss of hundreds of lives and with great destruction of property in what General Pablo Gonzales, rebel com mander, describes as the E'bloodiest battle of the revolution" Victoria. the capital of the Mexican state of Tam auipas, was captured by the constitu- tionalists early today. The fall of the capital city gives the iusurrectfonary movement control of the entire state except the important seaport Tam pIco. where 8 strong force of rebels is already operating.
 The greater portion of ffle garrison of 5000 men, however, evacuated the city at S.30 o'clock this morning af- ter 49 hours of continuous lighting They retreated to Tula, several miles away, where they were oveEtalzen by the constitutionaIists and again de- clslVeIy beaten at one o'clock this af- ternoon. They fled demoralized into the hills. Generals Rabago. Arzamen- di and Eugenio Aguilar commended the federaIs
 The attacking constitutionalists were reported to number about 5C0G men. Their loss was four officers and be- tween thirty and fifty men, probably more, according to General Gonzales The general added that the GederaIs had been literally slaughtered and that the total loss Of life would run into the hundreds.

SIXTY MILE CANAL
 ZONE IS ADVOCATED
Also Restoration to Colombia. of South
 ern End Of Panama.

Worcester. Mass, Nov. 18.-A pro- pOsal that the United States widen the canal zone to sixty miles and re- store to Colombia. the southern end of Panama was advocated tonight be- fore the delegates attending the Clark university conference on Latin Amer ica, by Earl Harding, who said he had devoted two years to study of the sit uation.
 We need a wider canal zone,' he said. Our ten mile strip across the isthmus with the cities Of Panama and Colon excluded from our jurisdiction, was planned when we were negotiating with Colombia and knew that it was futile to ask for more.
 Money will not bridge the gap at present existing in our international relations with Colombia. She has so far rejected such overtures. For over ten years the Panamanian question has taken precedence over every other issue in the Colombia press.
 Panama entire we cannot restore; but what is there to prevent our hand ing backsto Colombia in frank recog- milton of her violated sovereignty that part of Panama south of the gene? There would be 8 practical advantage to both parties in so doing"

 State department advices made pub lie today indicated that the insurrec- tionary movement is spreading rapidly not only in the north of Mexico, but to the south and east. This last de- velopment is regarded here as very important because the success of the constitutionalists in obtaining posses sion of the rich oil fields in the east and some deep water port on the gulf coast would enormously strengthen them from military point of view. the former insuring them a full treas ury and the latter an easy means of supplying themselves with munitions Of war from Europeans in the West Indies.
