REBEL MOVEMENTS.
Carranza to Attack Guadalaiara, Villa
 to Move Against Torreon.

San Bias, Sinaloa, Mexico, Jan. 1S.- While forces arriving here today with General Carranza apparently will move against Guadalajara, reports re- ceived by constitutionalist commanders indicate that General Villas insurgents will move against Torreon.
 Guadalajara- capital of Jalisco, is the strategic key to the center of the re- public. Torreon metropolis of Goa huila, is the central railroad point of northern Mexico.
 General Villa reported from Chihua- hua City that he was prepared to move in any direction with an ample force, as the result of his victory at Ojinaga He said he had 3S cannon in service able condition and plenty of anmuni- ton.
 General Carranza said that since the beginning of the revolution, the insur- gents had captured S5 pieces of heavy artillery, nearly one-half the entire equipment of the Mexican federal army,
 General Villa, it is believed. will move directly into Coahuila. A report from Colonel Chao. in command of the constitutiona1ist forces which recently drove the federals into Saltillo, in formed General Carranza that he had destroyed the railroad in such man ner as to make endorsements of Tor reon impossible General Carranza's train arrived today. The seaport of Topolobampo probably will be visited before the constitutionalist chief de- parts for the south.

Maria, Texas, Jan. 1S.-Footstore, ragged almost famished from their three days march on foot over 67 miles of 8 wind-sWept mountain road, the $500 Mexican federal soldiers and g~a- erals routed by the rebels from Ojin- aga, Mexico, with 1,067 women and about 300 children, arrived today with in few miles of Maria, whence they are to be transported by train to Fort Bliss at Ell PasO.
 which sought asylum in this country rather than face possible extermina- tion by the rebels, will be formally n termed at Fort Bliss on Tuesday as wards of the government. They are to be held there indefinitely. It will be the first time the American army has been called upon to shelter, feed and clothe an entire division of foreign army, which includes six disarmed gen. erals.
 Mereado May Be Courtmartiaied.
 None of those in the unique caravan of Mexican soldiers, women, children, horses, burros and dogs was more vis- ibly affected on coming within sight of Maria than General Salvador MercadO, Huerta's former military chief, who or Cered the evacuation of Oiinaga-
 Mercado was confessedly huniliat- ed not only at the defeat of his army and the necessity for his flight to for eign soil, but also because of a report from Mexico City that he would be Courtmartialled should he return to his native country.
 Beside General Mercado and ming ling with the United States cavalrymen who acted as guards, marched ne fed eral generals-Castro, Aduna, Landa, Orpinal and Romero-all shorn of their swords.
 Child Born on Journey.
 The DirtureSdUe march abOJ1ndad with incidents. The birth of child the death of several wounded soldiers, the search for water in the desert the constant struggling away from the line of march and the rounding up again Of scores of the refugees, were some Of the difficulties with which the Unit ed States cavalry, commanded by Ma Mexicans, guarded virtually as prison CTS, outnumbered the escorting Amer ican soldiers ten to one
 Viewed from a hilltop, the onconing army as it zigzagged through the mountain passes and reached backward into the dusty distance ten miles away, was a picture of exhaustion, although the prospect of soon reaching the rall- way and ample supplies of rations seemed to revive fresh courage.
 Limited Supply of Rations.
 Since they were routed from Ojin- aga by General Villas rebel forces and compelled to cross the border irto the United States at Presidio, Texas, eight days ago the Mexican soldiers have had only scant food supplies. Three ramps had been esta blished along the road to Maria: but these camps were supplied with limited rations, because foodstuffs and water had to be carried by wagon from Ma,.fa Many of the e0reigners were poorly clad and with

With sails whipped into shreds by the wind. and rigging broken and so coated with ice that it could not be handled. the Fuller Pal mer had practically drifted at the mer- cy of the raging seas.
 Day and night the men labored al the pump a sthe pounding of the waves opened the seams and the leaks grew larger. Tons of water flooded her decks, and turning to ice added to the unwieldiness of the vessel.
 On Wednesday night. with all hope of making any port gone, and fearful that their vessel would sink at any HlnuLes ulSlT6S5 IOEh6L6 were sent only to be swept away by the gale.
 All the small boats and life raftS had been crushed by the waves, while most Of the woodwork on the upper deck the masts red lights were placed.
 With all chance apparently gone, the men huddled together Tn the forecastle, while up on the bridge Captain Clarke still maintained a watch for some yes sel.
 Shortly before o'clock Thursday morning rocket shot up some miles away. showing that at last their sig nals had been noticed
 Until daylight the Marina. stood by. and then as the seas had moderator somewhae. several boats were lowered and the crew taken aboard By that time the Fuller Palmer lay so low in the water that the men had no time to collect any of their belongings With only the clothes they had on them. they were taken from the vessel The trans fer was made without accident.
