GEN. cARRANZA AND ARMY EN-
TER MEXICAN CAPITAL AND
TAKE FULL CONTROL.
CEREMONY QUITE ORDERLY
Cheers of Welcome Heard Everywhere
American Flags Fly Beside Col
ors of Rebellion-Torn Republic.
Governors to Resign.

Mexico City.-The national capital
is in the hands of the constitutional
lists now. In accordance with a pre-
arranged plan General Obregon march
ed in with his army and took peaceful
possession of the city Saturday.
The citizens greeted him and his sol.
diers with cheers. The evacuation by
the federals was completed during the
morning and constitutionalist troops
are quartered in the barracks which
the government soldier recently occu-
pied.
Eight special trains carrying a re-
ception committee formally welcomed
General C~arranza, first chief of the
constitutionalists, who assumed the
presidency as soon as he entered the
capital Tuesday.
With the resignation of the military
governors of the states of Chiapas,
Vera Cruz, Tabasco, Campeche and
Yucatan the last vestige of the old re-
gime will disappear.
Two Flags Together.
The city everywhere was decorated
for the occasion. For the first time
in many months American flags flew
beside the Mexican colors. With a
view of preventing any misunderstand-
ing General Obregon caused to be post
ed throughout the city a decree threat
ening immediate execution of an Off
Ger or an enlisted man who disturbed
public order.
AS the cavalry, artillery and infan-
try passed, the crowds cheered the
men, all of whom bore the marks of
hard campaigning. The reception Civ
en- the incoming army was taken by
the leaders as an augury of the sup
port which the people will give the
new government.
General Obregon reviewed the troops
from the balcony of the national pal
ace, after which the soldiers were sent
to the barracks. The whole parade
passed off in an orderly manner, be-
ing disturbed only by cheers for Car
rama and the constitutionalist cause.

FREE AND OPEN TO NATIONS
Wal Department Ship Ancon Makes
First Official Passage In 9 Hours.
Col. GoethaIs Well Pleased
at Work of Locks.

Panama.-The Panama canal is open
to the commerce of the world. Hence
forth ships may pass to and fro
through the great waterway which
establishes a new ocean highway for
trade.
The steamship Ancon, owned by the
United States war department, with
many notable people on board, made
the official passage Saturday, Aug Is,
which ~signalized the opening of the
canal. She left Cristobal at Z o'clock
in the morning and reached Balmoa
on the Pacific end at 4 O'Clock in the
afternoon, having navigated the water
way in nine hours.
The Ancon did not anchor at Balboa,
but proceeded into deep water in the
Pacific beyond the fortified islands,
where she anchored in the channel of
the canal until her return to Balboa,
when she landed her passengers.
The Ancon will remain az the Bal
boa docks for some time, discharging
her cargo, this being the first COM
mercial voyage made through the
canal.
The canal having been officially
opened it will be used Immediately for
the transfer of four cargo ships,
which will thus shorten their routes.
Locking Operations Quicker.
The trip of the Ancon was the fast
est yet made by a large ocean steamer,
the locking operations being quicker
owing to greater experience.
The steamer went through the Gatun
locks in 70 minutes, a speed never be-
fore equaled. The other lockages
were equally rapid.
Colonel George ". Goethals watched
the operations closely and was mani
testify pleased at the improved han
ding of the locks. He declared that
even this would be made much better
with time.
Now Open to All Vessels.
Washington.-With the passage
through the Panama canal of the
Ward liner Ancon the great waterway
becomes free and open to the vessels

feet of water may now make the pas.
sage. 1t would be possible to put the
big American dreadnaughts through at
any time.
Any foreign warship could also make
the trip, but the naval plans of the
European powers, which have vessels
off both coasts of the United States,
are not known here.
Strict rules are laid in the treaty
for the perpetual naturalization of the
canal. Except in cases af absolute
necessity, vessels of belligerents must
make uninterrupted passage through
the canal. They may not coal, revic-
tual or embark or disembark troops
in the canal zone, and these provisions
also apply to the terminal waters at
both ends of the canal, within a limit
of three miles; "a hours is the limit
of time within the canal, except in
cases of distress, and a vessel of war
of n belligerent can not depart with
in "a hours from the departure of a
vessel of war of another ~belligerent.
All Of the plant and establishments
that are part of the canal are immune
from attack or injury by any bellig-
erents.
