FEEL MEXICAN WAR
 IS NEAR FINISH
CONSTlTUTlONALlSTS BELIEVE THAT ONE MORE BATTLE
 WILL WIND UP CONFLICT.

Juarez, Mexico, May Clone Hast ditch battle will conclude the pres ent revolutionary movement in Mex leo if the news that Saltillo has been evacuated by the federal garrison IS true, constitutionalsts here say, Of ficial news of the evacuation came 0 the local junta today in a message from General Felipe Angeles, consti- tutioualist minister of war. Quer- taro, aueauy twice iamous as the been concluded ln Mexico, is the ptace local officials declare will mark the end of the Huerta regime. Those who pick Quertaro as the next clash argue that San Luis Potosi is not as well adapted for strenuous defense as Saltillo, and that the federals also may evacuate that point. General Carrera Torres, it is said, already holds position within the outskirts of San Luis Potosi, and it is possible he may occupy the city before fleeing federals from Saltillo can struggle in.
 No word has been received here regarding the entry of constitution ahst troops into Saltillo and it is not believed an immediate movement to bring the main body of Villas army at that point will be made The rail road to Saltillo from Paredon still is in an unrepaired condition and the need of haste is not regarded as pressing.
 The next move of Villas army, it is said, unoduobtedly will be toward San Luis Potosi, but that move will not be a hurried one. Genera Tor les is believed to have the situation well in hand, and constitutionalist
 Mdcps would have to march across 25O miles of desert to reach the town. The eonstitutionalist troops, accord ing to present plans, vii move against San Luis Potosi by a round about railroad route. They will be transported from Saltillo to Monte rey, thence to Tampico, and from the Gulf port to san Luis Potosi over the Mexican National railroad.
 Preparations for the final struggle at Ouerteraro began today when Col. onel Perez Romero was ordered to proceed with a strong force from Tuxpam on the gulf coast to the stale of Queretaro.
 General Candido Aguilar, in com mand at Tuxpam, has been ordered to lead a large portion of his 5000 troops to the vicinity of Vera Cruz to pre- vent the troops of General Garcia Peaa and Rubio Nayarrete from reach ing the battlefield at Queretaro or re- turning to the capital.
 The constitutionalists have to con, cpntrate a tremendous force to hurl against Queretaro. With Saltilo in his hands. General Villa, with fully 25.O0O men, may move soutAward un- obstructed. From Tampico General Pablo Gonzales with 1000 veterans is to move toward San Luis Potosi. General Francisco Murgia, with a force of 1900, is moving south ward to oin jhin his command to that of General Vi la.
 Aeuilar and Colonel Romero are moving in from the eastward with as a base, while the troops under General Obregon have cleared the way for an advance.
 To the south Of Mexico City, Eml- liano Zapata is threatening the capi. tai
