here OF the United States army Cen
eral Pancho Villa to-day made his
plans for moving at once on Mexico
City In an announcement issued to-
Gay 10 his officers Villa said that lie
would take Torreon and Monterey first.
These are til only cities in Northern
Mexico which the Federals hold. but
both are garrisoned by such slender
forces and each is so hemmed in by
rebels that their capture. according to
Villa, will cause no trouble.
Villa says that he will go through TO
Mexico City without interruption. lie
declares that he has such a large and
well equipped force that the Huertista
troops still in the field south of Tor

resistance.

been brought across to-day. Although
ample provisions had been made for
taking care of a greatly increased
number. more have been brought over
than expected, and others still are

diers, six Federal generals, 100000
rounds of ammunition, two cannon, four
large field pieces and 100 civilian
refugees were in the custody of the

day as the result Of the evacuation of
Ojinaga by the Federal army, its fight
