| Washington, Nov. 21.-The evacua-
ton of Mexico City by Carranza troops
will be completed tomorrow at noon,
| according to official dispatches to the
state department today. Generals
| Obregon and Blanco, in command
there, have assured the Brazilian
minister and American Consul Sill
man that a small force will be left
to preserve order.
The Carranza forces are moving
eastward to Orizaba, Carranza's tenn
porary capital. Villa is at Queretaro.
1t is believed his entrance to Mexico
City will not be resisted.
Some believe the withdrawal of the
Carranza forces is a strategic ma
neuver and that Obregon will begin
an enveloping movement, aiming to
cut off Villas communications with
the northern states, while forces un-
der General Jesus Carranza and other
generals loyal to the first chief, will
attempt to strike the Villa forces with
Orizaba as the base.
GUTIERREZ MOVING UP.
Provisional President Gutierrez with
thirty members OF the Aguas Calien-
tes convention has arrived in San Luis
Potosi and General Villas troops have
taken Queretaro without resistance,
according to official kilograms today
to the state department.
Administration officials reiterated
again today that the state of affairs
in Mexico had not changed plans for
the evacuation of Vera Cruz and that
according to all important plans, Ma
jor General Funston's forces would be
withdrawn on November %. Official
sources were without further advices
today from Mexico and the veil over
the Kaleidoscope events in the South
ern Republic was drawn again.
Earlier reports of q military coup
by General BIanco commanded iore-
most interest among officials who re-
called that Blanco had been waverfng
in his allegiance first toward Carranza
and then toward the forces OF the
Aguas Calientes convention.
Reports that General Obregon was
making movement toward Salina
Cruz to go up the west coast was re-
garded as evidence OF some strategic
move against the advancing forces oh
the North.
The Brazilian minister and Amert.
can Consul Sililman were assured by
Generals Obregon and Blanco that q
sufficient force would be left in the
capital to preserve order Nothing was
said about plans for defense and the
impression prevails in official tele-
grams that the Villa forces viii ae
permitted to approach the capital
without resistance. the chief move

Governor Trammell has assigned
John p. Stokes, state attorney for
q First circuit. to prosecute Albert
f. Hough. who will be tried for his
life the fourth time at Ocala, on De-
cember IA, upon the charge OF hav-
ing murdered his wife In Lake county
In June, 1912.
Mr.. Hough is a prominent wnita
citizen of Lake county and on ace
count OF his prominence and the fact
that he has already been tried three
times without the jury being able to
agree either upon his guilt or tn1o-
cence, the case has attracted a great
deal of notice and Is one OF the causes
celebre in the courts OF South Florida.
Mr.. Hough was indicted by The
grand jury of Lake county upon the
charge of murder in the first degree, it
being alleged in the Indictment that
rs unlawfuIly shot his wife with q pis-
tel with a premeditated design to
axe her life. On motion OF defendant
ne case was transferred to Citrus
UNITY, where it has been tried three
mes, and each time a mistrial was
ccIared, because the jury could not
gree either as TO the guilt or inno-
ance of the defendant. The defendant
loaded Insanity at the time OF tho
omicide as excuse for his alleged
r:me. Many prominent physicians
sstif1ed as witnesses both for tho
late and for the defendant relative to
is mental condition. More than two
'eeks has been consumed In the trial
this case each time It has been
Tied.
The case has been transferred to
)caIa, the county seat Of Marion coun-
Y. where it will be called for trial
for the fourth time on December II.
and it is expected that more than
two weeks will be consumed In tho
trial of the case.
State Attorney John p. Stokes OF tho
First circuit, will conduct the prose-
cution by direction Of Governor Tram
nell and Hon. Raymond u. Bullock, ~
prominent attorney OF Ocala, and Hon.
Carey d. Lands, state attorney FOR
the Sixth circuit or Florida, will rep
resent the defendant. It Is expected
that the case will be a hard fought
one and that each side will make
strenuous efforts to win.

MADE BY TURKS
BY AssOcIATED PREss.


Washington, Nov. 21.-Turkey
has explained voluntarily to the
United States government through
Ambassador Morgenthau, that .he
shots fired toward the cruiser Ten
nessee's launch were intended
merely as the customary warning
that the port of Smyrna was mined
and closed to navigation.
Although the explanation was
informal government officials ad-
mitted that all danger of serious
complications had passed. The ex-
planation sent by Morgenthau was
received today. It had been filed
previous to the instructions sent
from here for him to take the mat
ter up. A formal explanation Is
expected later.
