De FUGA" STORY FAXED
u. S. Naval Court Of Inquiry Has
Found No Evidence That Charges
Against Marines Is True.

Vera Cruz, Mexico.-A naval court
af inquiry is investigating the charge
contained In an article written by
Fred Boalt, an American newspaper
correspondent in Vera Cruz. that the
law Of flight was applied TO Mexican
prisoners at the time of the occupa-
tion of this city by the American
forces. The testimony of many Of
ticers and newspaper men has already
been taken and the evidence so far
fails to show that any such incident
as that described occurred.
Boalt's explanation of his article
is that he was told of the incident as
a personal experience of Ensign VII
liam A.. Richardson of the battleship
Arkansas, who participated in the
second days fighting. Boalt said he
assumed the story was true and re-
ported it as a fact without seeking
confirmation.

GUADALAIARA Is CAPTURED
ing 5000 Prisoners-Opens the
Way to Mexico City.

Saltillo, Mexico. - Gen. C~arranza
was officially advised of the fall of
Guadalajara before the Constitutions
alist forces. The news was received
with the utmost elation at Constitu-
tionalist headquarters, where 1t was
regarded as preliminary to the occu-
patton Of Mexico City itself.
The rou Of the Federals was said
to be complete that they had been
cut off from Mexico City by the forces
of Gen. Blanco, which had detoured
from Ameca to destroy the Federal
lines of communication. The Federals
were reported scattered in all direc-
lions. Great punishment was innict-
ed on them in retreat, but no figures
of losses on either side were available.
Gen. Obregon led the main attack
ing force. For several days they had
hammered the Guadalajara garrison,
which came Il from their defenses
in the effort to scatter the besiegers.
After a disastrous conflict, in which
the Federals lost 10 troop trains and
more than 600 prisoners, they re-
treated, leaving an unobstructed road
to the second largest city Of Mexico,
which offered little resistance when
the Constitutionalists appeared.
Further details of the conflict at
G~uadalajara said 5000 Federal pris-
oners, with much arms, ammunition
and supplies, were captured. The
line Of combat, it was said. extended
over 30 miles, with Gen. Blanco COM
handing Obregon's advance guard.
The Constitutionalists were reported
in complete control Of the city, in
GLIDING the Federal palace.
Gen. Jesus Carranza, It is said, is
preparing to attack San Luis Potosi
within two days, and as he has a
force Of $1,000 men and the Federal
garrison nearly all has been with
drawn. he is expected to encounter
little difficulty.
The capture OF Guadalajara and
San Luis Potosi will open an easy road
to Queretaro and it Is confidently ex.
pected at Carranza's headquarters
that the victory of Obregon will in
sure the speedy capture of Mexico

CATTLE PRICES TO ADVANCE
$40 to S12 Beef Next Winter
Consumer to Pay Increase.

Chicago, IIl.-Cattle prices are adj
vancing rapidly at Chicago. and at
western primary shipping points, and
Chicago dealers were forecasting so
and even s12 beef for next winter.
At Kansas City Wednesday cattle on
the hoof reached the highest point in
a year. The receipts have fallen of
at Chicago, Kansas City, st. Louis
and Omaha to a degree unprecedented
for this season.
Packers and shippers say that the
scarcity Of cattle and the consequent
increase in prices are the result Of
the drought last fall, which compelled
the raisers to rush their cattle TO
market even on the falling prices.
Packers say that the consumer, as
usual, will pay the increase.

REBELS REFUSE TO MEDIATE
Carranza VIII Not Deal With Repre-
sentatives Of Huerta-Lays the
Blame on His Generals.

Washington-The Constitutionalist
agency received word from Gen. Car
rama that he was drafting his decli-
nation of the mediation invitation to
appoint representatives to meet in
formally with the Huerta ENJOYS. Car
rama said he would Immediately dis
patch the reply to Rafael Zuzaran,
head Of the Constituencies agency
here and have him forward il TO the
m~ediators.
The note will set forth that Gen.
Carranza consulted his generals as
to whether or not they desired to
amend the plan OF Guadalupe so as
to allow him to name delegates to
deal directly with Huerta ENJOYS In
an effort to settle by diplomacy the
internal affairs Of Mexico and that
they voted unanimously against the
suggestion. Carranza viii then de-
clare that in the light Of this action
there is nothing left for him but to
decline the offer Of the mediators
to arrange an informal meeting Of
the Constitutionalists and the Huerta
ENJOYS.
Members of the local junta say that
when Huerta finally makes up his
mind 10 abdicate, they expect him to
open mp negotiations with the Consti-
~tutionalists through his ENJOYS now in
his country. In this case they say it
is likely Gen Carranza would name
delegates to meet with them for the
one purpose OF arrau sing the terms
Of surrender.

Gen. Carranza and his official family
left here for Monterey, at which place
the temporary capital will be estab-
lished. Preparations are going on rap
idly to transport the troops remain
ing in this section TO San Luis Potosf
and Gen. Pablo Gonzales and his staff
are expected to leave for San Luis

Word has reached here from San

denas, who Is alleged to have fired
the shot which ended the life of for
mer President Madero, is in San Luis
potosi with the federal garrison and
efforts will be made by the
constitutionalist forces to capture him.
Many of the constitutionalist gen
erals gathered for a last conference
with General Carranza, and those who
rejoined their commands with instruc-
lions to push forward with the utmost
speed in the advance on Mexico City.
Local constitutionalists said the
precedent OF 1860 might be followed,

stitutionalists." Miramon a~bdicated.
leaving executive authority In the
hands of the "Ayuntamiento,' or city
council. That Huerta or Carbajal
should retire, leaving police power
over the City of Mexico in the hands
OF the council until Gen. Carranza
could reach the capital is the sugges-
ton of Calderon and other constitu-
tionalist representatives.
The constitutionalists claim their
military campaign has progressed too
far TO admit of compromises, and no
transaction should be entered into
which could be construed as legalizing
the government of Huerta. For this
reason the constitutionalists will not
accept executive power direct from the
hands of Huerta or Carbaial, but hope
TO assume il directly after the brief
interregnum of the city council.
General Carranza. it was learned
from official dispatches, will arrive
in Tampico in a day or two. From
there he will be in readiness to go d.
rectly to Mexico City should an agree
ment be reached for a change in ad-
ministration there.
