Band Concerts and Ringing Of
Bells in Chihuahua,
Mexico.
CAPTURE WAS IMPORTANT
Taking of the City Completes Con-
stitutionalist Control of
North

Chihuahua, April 25, via Ell Paso,
Tex, April 27.-The taking of Mon
terey was celebrated here yesterday
with band concerts and the ringing
of bells. Gen. Antonio Villareal
was appointed governor of the state
of Nuevo Leon, of which Monterey
is the capital, and Nicefaro Amer
ano was made mayor of the city.
The federal garrison, which evac-
uated after six days of heavy fight
ing, retreated in the direction of
Saltillo, where they will serve to
reinforce the remainder of the fed
eral forces which were driven from
Torreon and San Pedro and which
constitute the main body of federals
now in the north. General Villa is
now Quitting his army for cam
paign against this stronghold, but is
being hampered by the embargo
which the United States has placed
on arms and ammunition.
Before leaving Monterey the de-
tenders destroyed much ammunition
and such artillery as they could not
take with them. Five armored au-
tomobiles were left behind and with
some rifles and cartridges, fell into
rebel hands.
Monterey is the most important
city of northern Mexico and before
revolutions drove them out had a
comparatively large American popu-
lation. 1t is only 1877 miles from
Laredo, Tex, has a population of
$4,000 and has often been called the
bilingual city, because so much Eng
lish as well as Spanish is spoken. It's
capture goes far to complete rebel
control of the northern states. No
statement Of losses incurred in the
lighting is available.

THE SPANISH AMBASSADOR
GETS NEWS Which AR0USES
new HOPE IN WASHINGTON

prepared to place General Huerta's
formal acceptance before the repre-
sentatives of the three South Ameri-
can countries today.
The interests of the Huerta gov
eminent in the United States were
taken over by the Spanish embassy
when Charge Algara asked for his
passports and left Washington for
Canada. Ambassador Riano receiv-
ed the offer of good offices from the
three peace ENJOYS last night after
the offer had been accepted on the
part of the United States by Presi-
dent Wilson. 1t was cabled to the
Spanish minister at Mexico City,
and by him presented to President
Huerta.
When the formal acceptance from
Mexico City is in hand the South
American diplomats will be ready to
proceed with their plan. 1t has
been generally understood here that
the peace ENJOYS expect to deal di-
rectly with the situation created by
the resentment by the United States
government against the Tampico in
cident and other offenses against it's
honor and dignity, hoping to bring
about a peaceful settlement.

American Admiral Declares Martial
Law in Vera Cruz-Comman-
der Fletcher Tired of Argu-
ing With Mexicans.
OFFICIALS ARE RETURNING
Evince Willingness to Resume Du-
ties Under American
Supervision.

Vera Cruz. April 27.-Vera Cru.
today is under martial law. Real
Admiral Frank E. Fletcher, com
handing the American naval forces
on shore yesterday, issued procla'
nation to this effect, and the last
opportunity Mexicans had for hand.
ling their own affairs in Vera Cruz
under their own laws disappeared.
Admiral Fletcher determined
there should be no more clubbing
with the Mexican officials regarding
forms of government. Until further
notice the residents of this port
will be judged by military law. This
proclamation makes Rear Admiral
Fletcher absolute ruler ashore.
1t is expected that the martial
law proclamation will have another
effect, that of opening the way for
more of the city and federal employ
es to return to their posts and COOP
crate in restoring the local govern
ment functions. Mexicans point out
that these men will now be in po-
sition to explain to their friends OF
the existing government at the cap
ital that under martial law they
felt obliged to return to work.
An order that all arms be turned
in by the residents by noon yester-
day brought to the headquarters of
the provost marshal bushels of small
arms and dozens of rifles. The city
was quiet last night and if there
was even a single sniper in action
the fact was not reported to division
headquarters.
A large number of Mexican offic-
ials have reported their willingness
to resume the duties of Office under
the supervision Of the American Of
ficers. The American officers nam
ed to the duties of supervision of the
government are Commander H. o.
Stickney of the Prairie, captain Of
the port; Fleet Surgeon L. w.
Spratling, sanitary inspector; Com
mander D. F. Sellers of the Arkan-
sas, provost marshal; Commander
John Luby of the South Carolina,
director of the postoffice.
Roberto Diaz, mayor of Vera
Cruz, is among those who have
agreed to reopen their Offices and it
has been arranged that the public
schools shall be reopened.
The efforts Of Rear Ad-
miral Fletcher, supplemented by
those of the British commander,
Rear Admiral Christopher Cradock,
and the French and German consuls
and private citizens to bring about
the departure from the interior of
al foreigners who wish to leave, are
being continued energetically, but
hope of getting out more than a
small part of those left is diminish
ng hourly.
