FALL OF CHIHUAHUA.
Rebels Closing i'm OH Mexico City
From North and SOutl:--End of
Iluerta Regime Believed to BE
Near ut Hand.

Mexico City, Dec. 2.-Battered by
the heavy reverses Of the past forty
eight hours the Mexican government
has reached q condition indicating
that it can live but a short time. Fol
lowing close upon the news that the
Federal defenders Of Chihuahua City
had fled before the approach of
Villas army, word was received to-
day that TuXpam, one of the most inn
portant ports OF Mexico and the key
to the oil fields had been captured
by the Rebels after sharp fighting.
This cuts off the oil supply of Mexico.
With practically all of Northern
Mexico controlled by the Rebels, the
Constitutionalists holding two sea-
ports, and sweeping Rebel victories in
the south, Mexico City will soon be
menaced by Rebel armies approach
ing from every direction. The for
eign warships at any moment may
establish a blockade. Dictator Huer-
ta's treasury is now practically empty.
lSl Paso, Texas, Dec. 2.-United

ians fear complications with Mexican
Constitutionaliss as the result of the
arrest late last night of Colonel Juan
Medina, Gen. Villas chief of staff
who was left as commander OF the
Juarez garris, Col. Medina is
charged with violation of the neutral
ity laws and was taken to Fort Bliss,
where today he is held prisoner.

Among the refugees is Luis TeraZas,
mead Of the Terazas estate, who is said
to have with him 100000 pesos,
which he withdrew from the Chihua-
hua banks. Other wealthy families, in
Guiding some of the Creels are known
to have left the city. The caravan, in
which are women and children, was
described as being more than a mile
long. At the head, with an escort Of
federal troops, is Gen. Salvador Mer-
cado, Huerta's deposed governor of
Chihuahua State.
Details of the evacuation Of Chi
huahua City and the exodus of the
residents were brought to Juarez in
official dispatches from FREDERICK
Moye, who was appointed civil gov
ernor ad interim. Moyes message was
addressed to Gen. Villa, and it called
upon the rebel leader to take pos
| session of the city.
The story of the downfall Of the
Huerta power in the city is thus told
by Gen. Moye:
For almost three weeks Chihuahua
with its $4,000 citizens had been cut
off from communication; the food
| supplies were steady decreasing and
many deaths resulted from illness
caused by semi-starvation. Rumors Of
the proposed attack on the city, exag-
gerated by reports that the rebels had
been supplied with ammunition from
the United States and that the city
was to be bombarded, increased the
anxiety.
"A citizens committee finally was
appointed to call upon Gen. Mercado
and ask him to surrender to the
rebels, as resistance would be hope
less. After delay, and in the absence
of any communication with Mexico
City, Gen. Mercado decided to fee.
Those who wished to go were given
notice to gather their possessions.
EARLY on Sunday, after the sur
rounding country had been reconnoit-
cred, the exodus began"

FEDEEALS LEAVE CHIHUAHUA,
EVACUATE TOWN RATHER THAN
STARVE.
Flight of Hucrtas Troops Gives
COnstitutionalists Clear Path to
Town.

Juarez, Mex, Dec. 1.-Ra~her than
endure starvation the federal troops
have evacuated Chihuahua City, ac-
cording to advices received tonight by
Gen. Francisco Villa, rebel leader
The evacuation leaves the city open to
possession by the rebels. The town
was invested by rebels weeks ago.
The report received by Villa states
that Salvatore Mcrcado, military gov
ernor of the State, with 1000 federal
troops, had left on foot for Ojinaga
on the United States border near
Maria, Texas, that Gems. lose IneZ
Salazar and Pascual Orozco with more
than 1000 federals had retreated to
the mountains west of the city and
that hundreds Of civilians, including
women and children who We're on the
verge Of strvation, had started out
to walk TO the Omitted States border.
Besides being the capital of the
state, Chihuahua with population
| normally of $4,000 is the second city
Of northern Mexico. Neither in the
Madero revolution nor in the present
uprising has Chihuahua been taken
from the federals. Its garrison and
the commanding positions for sharp
shooters and machine guns, afforded
by the cathedral aud public buildings,
heretofore had presented q formidable
| barrier to invaders.
! Conditions in the city were said to
be such that life there was no longer
endurable.
| The Spanish viaduct which con-
veyed water from the mounta.ins was
reported to have been destroyed and
the food supply exhausted.
The report of the capitulation of
Chihuahua is authentic" said Villa.
1T came to me in an official dispatch
which said the city was evacuated on
Sunday.
1t is my purpose now to send a
force to intercept Mercado, who is
| fleeing TO Ojinaga, and also to capture
Orozco and Salazar. Our main body
probably will concentrate at Chihua-
hua preparatory to the advance
southwark. We will be nearling Mex
leo City within u month"
Five hundred thousand dollars
worth of provisions and clothing and
100000 We're conliscated in Jaurez
| by Villa to support the rebels. The
property was taken through the re-
fusal of merchants to accept paper
money issued by the rebels. The
Storekeepers, most of them Spanish,
appealed to United States Consul Ed
wards and later closed their shops
and handed over the keys to the con-
sui.
Consul Edwards later returned the
keys to the owners. saying he could
not guarantee the safety of the prop
erty. Meantime the places were
forced open and the goods and money
taken. 1t was said the property was
insured in an English company
against looting.
