RICHEST MEXICAN
FLEES TO FL PAS0
Don Luis Terrazas, 80 Years
Old, Spends Two Weeks in
Saddle on Desert.

Ell PASO. Tex, Dec. 4.-After q
horseback journey across the Mexican
desert of two weeks duration. lacking
a day, Don Luis Terrazas, richest man
In all Mexico. Is quartered in the most
sumptUous suite of rooms in the best
hotel In El Paso. He arrived here last
night.
Though more than eighty years old,
the gray-bearded, whit-haired old don.
who was old enough to be a general and
fight against Maximilian in the CO.'S to-
day dismissed queries regarding his trip
across the Mexican tornado del Muerto-
tie journey of death-with a shrug Of
the shoulders and a wave of the hand,
as II the mere riding for thirteen days
on nuleback over desert and mountain
were nothing.
General Terrazas declined to discuss
the Imprisonment of his son, Luis Ter
razas, jr., by General Villa at Chihua-
hua. and refused absolutely to discuss
Mexican affairs under any circum-
stances. However. II Is known that
members of his party are comforting
here with representatives of Villa, who
Is demanding $250,000 for the release Of
young Terrazas
The general was said not to be so
much disturbed over paying the ransom
as over the problem Of getting the wom-

Rebels in Force Are
Harrassing Tampico

VERA CRUZ. Dec. H.-Advices from
Tampico say that General Aguilar has
arrived from the south with reinforce
ments. which. 1t is believed here. will
bring the total rebel force under General
viliareal up to about 5000 men. The
federal garrison defending Tampico does
not exceed 2ooO. Of whom many are raw
recruits.
The lighting around Tampico continues
with little intermission. the insurgent
tactics apparently aiming at wearing
out the defenders by long-ranze firing
and inducing them to exhaust their am
munition in Ineffective reply. The rebel
commander, 1t IL thought, will not haz-
assault, and. in part. may be influenced
by desire to avoid the destruction of
property. which would Inevitably result
from street fighting or bombardment.
TIE general belief is that the city can
not hold out much longer.
The fsderals place great reliance upon
the hra Of the gunboats Bravo, Zara-
are now In the river.
II Is reported here that Rear Admiral
Fletcher has forbidden the use of the
gunboats batteries unless 1t is certain
that nc shells will fall in the town.
The steamer MORO Castle sailed from
to Admiral Fletcher. She win probably
take some Of the American refugees
aboard
Negotiations are pending for the dis
DC tch Of the Reina Maria Cristina from
here TO TamDico to take care Of the
Spanish refugees. Several hundred troops
have arrived from the interior. They
are intended for the reinforcement of
the Tampico garrison, but no transport
Is available.

on the freighter Logician and the steam
shin Kronprinzessin Cecilie cheered the
Mexican gunboats as they started on
their mission, and half an hour later
the sound of terrific firing was heard
down the river. The gunboats were
equipped with machine guns and four
inch cannon capable of shooting three
miles, and 1t was said by Rabago that
they did fearful execution among the
constitutionalists.
Cavalry Gives Pursuit.
Meantime, General Rebago said, he
had ordered the federal cavalry to
prepare for action and when It was re-
ported that the gunboat had turned
back the constitutionalsts he started
the cavalry in pursuit. They chased
the fleeing army Until night saved the
fugitives.
General Rabago's dispatches ADDED
that many wounded constitutionalists
were killed by the pursuers as they tried
to crawl to safety.
General Huerta passed most of the
day at the war Office, getting adviceS
from Tampico. General Orozco wired
from Ojinaga, demanding that Huerta
send money for his troops. The war Of
fee was informed that Orozco now
has under him only a remnant Of his
once splendid force. His message, ii is
said, contained covert threat that he
and his men would stop fighting unless
Orozco is allowed 5000 pesos daily for
his men

by that -constitutionalist leader,
Roberto Y. Pesqueirs, confidential agent
of General Carranza in Washington.
this morning made the following state
ment to The Times: .---.
General Villa is charged in the dis
patches of today with expeiling from
Chihuahua City numerous Spanish cit
izens, and with the confiscation of their
property. He is even charged with loot
ing a church of its treasure.
Il desire emphatically to deny these
charges. as they are very misleading
and mischievous. In doing so 1t is nee
essary that ! should first explain that
the average Spaniard Is regarded with
extreme aversion by practically all Mex
leans. The Spaniards have always affil-
lated themselves and their interests
the ultra-clerical party, which has never
failed to exploit the poorer class on
every possible occasion. If these Span
iards have been ordered out of Mexico
by General Villa, it is to save their
lives from the fury of the natives, Civ
frontier. If precedent for this is wanted,
l have only to refer to the acts of Gen
eral Butler in New Orleans In expelling
certain foreigners as enemies and con-
fiscating their property.
General Butler, who was a great law
sSip 90" iOsiihS ohJuSlilldDle III SclL-
ing the enemies funds in the banks
and in the hanls of trustees; indeed.
he even took possession of property
of confederate sympathizers left with
some o fthe foreign consuls. l could
cite numerous later incidents, such as
Philippine insurrecto funds in the
banks and commercial houses in Nd
Mia seized and confiscated by the
American military authorities, and I
could also refer to official reports as
to the looting of churches. But that
is war, which some of our more timid
friends do not seem to understand.
Why should they be shocked because
General Villa approves the execution
of officers who have violated their
parole, or seizes the cattle Of a Ter
razas, when the administration of the
water-cure is still fresh in the public
mind, and the devastating excursion
of General "Hell-roaring" Jake Smith
in Samar has not been forgotten. What
was war in New Orleans in 1862 and
In the Philippines forty years later is
now war in Mexico.
General Villa is proceeding within
his rights; he is committing no wanton
destruction, but is protecting the prop
erty of neutral foreigners, which many
of the -Spaniards are not. Practically
all the Americans in Chihuahua be-
lieve in Villa and have faith in him
and subsequent developments will JUS
tify their attitude"

II Is charged that not only did the
American commander prevent the gun
boats from shelling the constitutionalist
position. but he impeded for several
hours the landing of troops and mu-
nitions of war from the gunboat Vera
Cruz
The federal commander asserts that
the searchlights of the American war
ships were turned On the federal forces,
disclosing the position of the defending
forces to the constitutionalisIs.
While there was no attack in fun force
on Tampico during the day, according
to dispatches received here, there was
scme skirmishing by the constitution
alists. They dynamited the drawbridge
over the Tamesi river. breaking the rail-
way line to San Luis Potosi and cutting
on the last approach to Tampico by rail.
Federal Victory Reported.
The federal government announced to-
night. however. big victory for the
Huerta forces. 1t was declared that
General Rabago had just sent dis
patches reporting that the federal cav
airy had driven the constitutionalists
fifteen miles from Tampico.
Darkness prevents me pursuing the
rebels any further" General Rabago is
said to have te!egraphed.
He added that the Red Cross nurses
OF the federals were collecting the
wounded in the darkness, while the
townspeople wildly celebrated the tenn
porary relief.
The constitutionalists retreated under
a veritable tornado of bullets and four
inch shells from the guns of the Mexi-
can gunboats, according to General Ra-
baeo's DISPATCHES to the war office,
Fully loo men were lost by the con-
stitutionaiists, he said, 100 or more fall
ing In the darkness, in addition to the
700 who fell in a desperate attack at
sundown.
The rout of the constitutionalists was
attended by the most dramatic events,
as General Rabago told the story. The
constttutionalist leaders secretly planned
assuming that the federal defenders,
having got safely through the day,
would by that time be lulled into tenn
porary security.
Late in the afternoon word was
brought in by a "breathless' courier
that the constitutionalists We're crossing
the small stream three miles to the east
OF the town, the drawbridge of which
had been blown up.
General Rabago Immediately gave or
ders for the gunboat Bravo, which had
been in the river throughout the siege
and the gunboet Zaragosa, which had
arrived from Tuxpan with re-enforcs-
ments. to drop down stream and open
IRE on the constitutionalists.
