HUERTA LOSES ALL
OF NORTH MEXICO
SEVEN GENERALS OF REGULAR
ARMY OFFER TO SURRENDER
ALL TO REBELS.
FEDERALS ARE now BANKRUPT
So States Proclamation Signed by
General Mercado, Commander
of Northern Regulars-DetaiIs
of Chihuahua Evacuation.

Juarez, Mexico, Dec. 4.-Seven gen.
erals of the Mexican regular army
are ready to surrender and the back
bone of the Huerta dictatorship in
the north has been broken. A peace
commission arrived in Juarez bearing
terms of the surrender.
Huerta Government Bankrupt.
The peace commission was headed
by Odilon Sernandez and came from
Chihuahua bearing proclamation
signed by General Salvador Mercado,
Huerta's military governor and COM
mander of the federal forces in the
north. The proclamation stated that
the Huerta government was bank
rupt and was unable to pay it's sol
aiers.
Fleeing over the desert and pursued
by rebels, several thousand persons,
including some of the richest families

Among the refugees is Luis Terra
Eas, head of the wealthy Terrazas es-
tate, who is said to have with him
100000 pesos which he withdrew
from the Chihuahua banks.
Other wealthy families, including
some of the Creels, are known to

was described as being more than q
mile long. At the head, with an es-
cort of federal troops, is General Sal
vador Mercado, Huerta's deposed gov
ernor of Chihuahua state.
Details of the evacuation of the city
and the remarkable exodus of the peo-
pie were brought to Juarez in official
dispatches from FREDERICK Move, who
was appointed civil governor ad in
terim
Dispatch to Villa.
Moye's dispatch was addressed to
General Francisco Villa and it called
upon the rebel leader to take possess
sion of the city. The facts about the
downfall OF the Huerta power in the
city as transmitted by General Moye
are:
For almost three weeks, Chihuahua,
with its $4,000 citizens, have been cut
off from communication; the food sup
plies were steadily decreasing and
many deaths resulted from illness
caused by semi-starvation. Rumors Of
the proposed attack on the city, ex-
aggerated by reports that the rebels
had been supplied with ammunition
from the United States and the city
was to be bombarded, increased the
anxiety.
Record of Villa.
General Villa, who now assumes mil
itary command of all the north and
whose authority is second only to that
of General Carranza, recognized as the
revolutionary provisional president, en-
tered the revolution five months ago
with only borrowed revolver. He is
a former bandit and for twenty years,
under Diaz, was sought as an outlaw.
Railway Contracts Cancelled.
Mexico City.-Preferring to incur
the displeasure of the Huerta govern
ment to very practical manifestation
of the rebels wrath, the producing oil
companies of the republic cancelled
their contracts for supplying the Ma
tional Railways with oil.
