GEN. VILLAS
BIG VICTORY
Gen. Mercado Surrenders to
.. S. Army Officers.
SEVERE BLOW DEALT HUERTA
The Federals Forced To Yield Because
OF Lack Of Ammunition-Most
OF Federals On the
American Side.

Presidio, Texas.-The Mexican fed
eral army, with its nine generals,
evacuated Ojinaga, Mexico, after six
hours of fighting. The triumphant
rebel forces under General Francisco
Villa Immediately occupied the town.
General Salvador Mercado, who was
Huerta's chief military commander,
crossed the river and surrendered to
Major McNamee, of the United States
Army.
1t was impossible for Major Nc
Nance to learn what had become of
the federals, whether the bulk of them
had taken refuge on this side or
whether they scattered to points in
Mexico. The country about Ojinaga is
mostly desert with little to sustain.
Later General Mercado sent over
seven wagon loads of government
documents under the escort of
wounded lieutenant, who also brought
his personal effects.
The wagons were pulled out of the
river and taken into the United States
Army camp.
Feared Massacre.
The defeat of the federal army fol-
lowed only few hours fighting in
which the rebels, beginning at sun
down, started to close in on the be-
sieged garrison with cannon and rifle
fire.
General Castro and General Mer-
cado of the federal regulars saw that
the assault was to be nothing less than
a massacre The federals had left only
so rounds of ammunition for each man.
Generals Castro and Mercado there
fore gave the order to evacuate.
Ali the federal soldiers and their Off
GERS who could scramble to the Ameri-
can side did so. The others ran in all
rections. Gen. Pascual Orozco, COM
mander of federal volunteers, threat
ened with summary execution by Villa,
was the first to cross. 1t was believed
he had escaped into the mountains Of
Texas.
Major McNamee, commanding the
United States patrol, Immediately
called out all the cavalrymen to meet
an emergency. Women, children and
wounded soldiers had been crossing in
numbers, but the apparent advance OF
the rebels turned to the very heart of
the federal garrison, gave reason to
believe greater rush across the Dor
der was imminent

JAPANESE ARE
NOW ON GUARD
Landed From Cruiser TO Protect
the Legation.
SEVERAL SIGNIFICANT MOVES
Reported That the Mexican Rebels
Attack Upon Tampico 10 About To
BE Renewed-A Great Battle
Also Expected At Mazatlan.

Washington.-The Japanese have
landed an armed guard from their bat
tie cruiser Idzuma for the protection
of the Mikado's legation at Mexico
City. Confirmation of this informa-
ton sent out as report" was OBJ
tanned at the Navy Department This
government has been advised of the
step by Charge d'Affaires O'Shaugh-
messy, but no explanation has been Of
fered by the Japanese government
either directly or through the japanese
ambassador at Washington.
The incident is known to be the
cause of anxiety to the State, War and
Navy departments, the three great
branches of the government which
must bear the brunt of our relations
with Mexico as well as with the foreign
powers, whose interests are involved.
Whether or not the developments OF
the day are predicted upon this secret
move they are both interesting and
significant.
Plans are under way to withdraw all
the marines from the Philippines and
the Hawaiian Islands. The marines
are to be stationed at San Diego, Cal,
and Pensacola, Fla. Both points are
within striking distance of Mexico.
Twelve eattieships.
Another battleship, the Georgia has
started under secret orders for era
Cruz. This places IL battleshi OF
the first class and two cruisers her
already in East Mexican waters or I'm
der orders for that service. The land
ing force from such feet would be
approximately $500 marines and blue
Jackets, and leave ample crews on the
ships should they be called into action.
Naval officers do not see any way to
increase the already large force in
Mexican waters except by the utiliza-
tion of the reserve battleships lying at
League Island.
There are IL of these flrst-class bat
tleships, which for the sake OF
economy are kept in reserve.
Secretary Daniels says this reserve
feet could be made ready to sail with
48 hours notice.
At the recruiting headquarters, it Is
said, the Navy has succeeded in enlist
ing men nearly up to the limit of ST.
500 men allowed by law.

New York.--If there were ever any
