Advices TO the Dallas TEX News
from Ell Paso say that chihuahua City,
Mexico, was evacuated by federals on
Thursday, leaving the city open to cap
ture without resistance by Pancho vii
las rebels. The federals were said to
have retreated toward Juarez. The de-
spatch adds;
Thousands of American and Mexican
citizens who were unable to board the
10 troop trains are panic-stricken. They
have no means of getting away from
the stricken city and fear for their lives.
Many believe that followers of 0rozco
will be given no quarter by Villas dur
ing the occupation of the state capt.
tai. What few residents of the city
have horses and wagons are follow
ing in the wake of the military trains,
carrying all their possessions with them"
The fear for Orozco's sympathizers is
based on resentment expressed by rebels
against him for fighting in the federal
army.

ported at Hermosillo, Sonora, on a mis-
