MEXICAN CAPITAL
AGAIN MENACED
GENERAL VILLAS SOLDIERS ARE
THREATENING MEXICO CITY
AND BATTLE rs EXPECTED.
Genera, Gonzales Heads Troops Which

lowers OF Villa Out.

Washington. Mexico City is again
threatened with attack and the Car.
rama forces under General Gonzales,
who drove the Zapata army from the
capital ten days ago, have marched
hurriedly northward to engage an ad.
vancing Villa column believed to be
planning a junction with the Zapata
troops. now menacing communication
with Vera Cruz.
State department dispatches on
Monday announced that General Con
zales with most OF his army had eva.
cuated Mexico City Sunday. turning
the government over to civil authori-
ties.
This was preceded by advices that
General Villas forces after the battle
OF Aguas Calientes and captured
Queretaro, had taken possession OF
Pachuca, within forty miles of Mexico
City and was marching on the capital
simultaneously with the later re-
port came the news that General Car
rama had taken possession of the re-
constructed railroad east of Apizaca,
a junction point south OF Pachuca and
had ordered that 1t be held exclusive
ly for transportation of troops and
ammunition, thus preventing further
shipment of provisions from Vera Cruz
to the needy thousands at Mexico
City.
Officials here made no effort to con-
ceal their belief that the situation
surrounding the Mexican capital was
a grave one. With another battle for
possession of the city imminent and
with much needed food shipments
from the east coast cut off. 1t was
feared that further suffering among
the civil population would follow.
General Gonzales sudden evacuation
OF the city in an effort to head off
the villa forces, together with Car
ranza's action in closing the railroad
to freight and passenger traffic, II is
feared here, will make further relief
work at the capital practically impos-
sible.
