on TO MEXICO" THE CRY.
Constitutionalists Confident of Cap
turing The Capital City.

Washington, May 14.--"On to Mex
leo City" is now the cry Of the Me-
lean constitGstionalists.
Attaches of their confidential agen-
cy in Washington are Jubiiant over
the news which came TO the navy
department from AG!Tlira! Mayo, which
confirmed their own advices to the e1-
feet that the Mexican Federa!s were
evacuating the city over the railroad
leading toward San Louis Potosi.
The constitutionalist confidential
agents here say this blow would be
fatal to Huerta and that they woub:.
be occupying Mexico City in less than
q month The constitutionalist plans,
as explained here, are to hold Tampi-
co, collect customs and enter stores
and war material there, and then push
the attack on Saltillo and San Luis
Potosi.
Saltjlo. the capital Of the state of
Coahuilla. is to be the next point Of
attack by the constitutionalist forces
in northern and eastern Mexico. Gen
eraI Gonzales will leave at Tampico
a garrison Just large enough to hold
the city and iI:aintain order, and with
half this army will return to Monterey
over the rai!roaa. He may leave about
5000 men at Tampico under COM
mand of General Louis Caballero. At
Monterey Gonzales will be Joined by
1000 corstitutionalists garriSon;nG
that place under General Villare2l.
The amalgamation of these forces
will give General Gonzales. the COM
mand of 5000 men who will at once
advance on Saltillo, sixty-nine miles
by railroad.
1t is understood that General Mas
has not more than 1000 men under
his comman3 at Saltillo. At the time
that General :. Gonzales approaches
from the east General Villa will be
attacking from the west CONSTITUTE
onalists here say that villa has $1,000
men, thirty pieces Of field artillery.

ammunition.

try to reach San Louis Potosi, and

have information which leads them to
assert that there are only 1900 fe er-
as Ut San Louis Potosi. They say
they do not believe Huelta will dare
send more men from Mexico City for
the relief of San Louis Potosi. but
will elect to await the result of the

be Il Feature.

Richmond, May 14.-Chairman W.
". Baker, of the Virginia Commits
sion for the Panama-Pacifc Interna-
tional Exposition, much pleased by
the generous action of the executives
tof the Virginia Railways in offer
ing to install an impressive agri-
cultural exhibit in the State build
ing, said yesterday that the commits
sion will 90 ahead under full steam
with the preparations to reproduce
Mount Vernon at the exposition and
give Virginia the most attractive
exhibit at San Francisco.
Mr.. Baker said that the arrange
ments for substantial physical eX-
hibit of the resources Of the Stale
would not call for any changes IN
the plan fer the reproduction Of Mt.
Vernon, as the original scheme in
the minds of the commissioners had
taken such a possibility into consid-
Grafton. The Virginia commission
composed OF Chairman w. w. Baker
of Chesterfield; Delegate John T.
Lewis, of Mecklenburg, and Senator
Saxon ". Holt, Of Newport News
will leave Richmond for San Fran
cisco on June 6.
This trip is being taken in order
for the commission to select a site
in the exposition grounds for the
erection Of The Vil.t;i;:;a Building and
to arrange with San Francisco
contractor for the building Of the
new Mount Vernon. The commission
will be accompanied by Charles X.
BRYANT. of Richmond, the architect
chosen to draw the plans for the
State building.
1t was originally planned to leave
the city on June !, but the commits
sion decided to postpone the journey
TWO days.
Chairman Baker came out yester-
dav with warm defense of the COM
MISSIONS action in reproducing Mt
Vernon, an action which has been
under fire from many critics.
"People who think that the COM
mission is going to install for the
State an exhibit of only that part
of Virginia history which is under
ground are very much mistaken,
said he. "But we are determined to
combine in al effective and striking
way the historical riches Of Vir-
rinia. for which the State is so well
known, ard her vast agricultural
and mineral resources for which she
is not so widely famous. Strangers
coming to the Virginia Building foi
sentimental reasons will linger tt
be impressed by the proof Of her IN
dustrial and agricultural progress.
SsThere are thousands of people II

Virginia stock. These people wal
