camp in the republic.
About 10, 900 other troops are in the

been at Ong range, General Villa
having given orders that the grand as
sault be delayed until the entire consti-
tutionalist army Of the north is mass

Pursuing his usual tactics Villa will
probably begin the main attack on

within twenty-four hours after the
general attack begins.
I
This has now become the watchword.
Word from the south that TampicO
has fallen caused tremendous excite
ment among the rebels and greatly en-
couraged them. The ragged constitu-

themselves invincible.

Huerta was on his way TO take per-

come TO SaltillO / would see to it
personally that he be taken prisoner
and then I would have him executed

up of bandits and that his capture OF
tai being pillaged have angered the

Foreign property would be re-
spected and foreigners would be safe, p"
said Villa. "Our war is against Mex
lean traitors and we would not harm
any Of our fellow cOuntrymen who
promised to work for the security Of

Villa has asked General CarranZa,
the provisional president of the consti-
tutionalists to suggest TO President
Wilson that the embargo on the trans
pOrtatiOn of arms across the Rio

I suggest that President Wilson ap-
point a military commission TO judge
