GENERALS

TAKE TEHUACAN
l.r ro.r.ns .ousr.. sr.el.. ...ssa wl.sl

Washington, Nov. THE capture
of Tehuacan, Mexico, from the Car
rama garrison by forces under Gen
erals Higinio Aguillar. Argpmedo and
Ruiz formerly federal commanders
was reported to the state department
today by Consul Canada at Vera
Cruz The message says several hun
dred were killed and wounded, but
gives no details of the lighting.
Tehuacan is in the state of Puebla,
seventy miles from the city of
that name. where Carranza has re-
moved with the members of his cab
met from Mexico City. 1t Is on the
line of the Mexican Southern rail-
way.
Other advices to the department
said General Villa was still at Aguas
Calientes and told of the proclama-
ton of Gen. Gutierrez as provisional
president OF the southern republic,
under the decision of the recent
Aguas Calientes convention. which
selected him for the post. He will
take office next Tuesday.
During the day Rafael Zubaran
Capmany, Carranza's confidential
agent here, denied that the Carranza
forces had been ordered to attack the
American troops at Vera Cruz to-
morrow. Secretary Garrison of the
war department, sought direct infor-
nation from General Funston as TO
the situation in Vera Cruz, however,
no reply having been received late
tonight.
To previous inquiries, General
Funston has stated that all was quiet
in the city and beyond the American
outposts his dispatches indicated no
apprehension of an impending at
tack on his lines. Disquieting press re-
ports of the intention of the Car
rama general, commanding outside OF
Funston's lines, to seek to capture the
city, have persisted however, and the
war department ls keeping in close
touch with the expeditionary force
there.

BRITISH PR|zE
RULING AWAITED
WITH INTEREST
Claim Made That Copper Ship
mentS Are Intended for
German Gun and Ammuni-
ton Factories.


Washington Nov. 7.---United States
officials await with more than ordi-
nary interest the ruling of the British
prize court AT ibraltar on the copper
and rubber shipments consigned TO
Italian firms aboard the American
steamer Kroonland. but unloaded at
Gibraltar by direction of British au-
thorities before the vessel was al
lowed today TO continue her voyage.
Compelled to Stop Contraband.
A statement given out IN London
yesterday and again here today by the
British embassy declares that Great
Britain felt compelled Ito stop con-
traband trade in copper with Ger
many through Italy, because II had
been learned such shipments actually
We're intended for German gun and
ammunition factories. II added,
however. that shipments made prior
to October 30, when copper WAS made
absolute contraband of war on the
British list and held by British au-
thorities. would be certain of mar
ket. as the government was prepared
TO arrange for the purchase OF cop
per detained by them"
Subject to Confiscatlon.
Presumably the Kroonland's copper
cargo would fall within this provision.
although Il is possible the British au-
thoritlcs have Information which
would render the Shipment subject to
conflscation. The statement declared
II had been learned that representa-
tiyes OF copper producers Ia this
country were en- route to Europe 20
arrange for forwarding shipments to
ermany and that Italian firms had
been approached by German agents
with view to the use of their names
to conceal the actual destination Of
the copper. The Italian Banca Com
merciale. largely controlled by Ger
man capital, was said to be handling
these orders on German accounts.
Other houses engaged in similar busl-
ness at Amsterdam and Rotterdam, 1t
was added, actually were connected
with the firm of Krupp, the great
German gun works.
Waits Action of Prize Court.
What the action of the prize court
might be on shipments alleged to be
Of this character lis not intimated in
the statement.
II is assumed here that the Ameri-
can owners Of the Kroonland's cop
per would be represented at the prize
court. but IL they are not the Amerl-
can consul VIII go before the court
as an observer If the decision Is ad-
verse to American interests protest
may be lodged with the state depart
ment to be forwarded To rhe British
foreign office.
In any event the ruling is expected
to form precedent which win have
an important bearing on all contra
band cases arising during the Euro
pean war
While no word has been received
tonight to that effect, state depart
ment officials believed the Kroonland
had continued on her voyage TO ital-
ian ports as soon as she was released.
She carried l,200 passengers.
