ZAPATA'S SOLDIERS
RETAKE MEXICO CITY
Carranza and villa Forces Lin
ing Up for a Probably De-
cisive Battle.
s. RECOGNITION IS GOAL

WARRINGTON. July ao.--News was re-
ceived In Washington to-day that the
Zapatistas. who are supporting Gen.
Villa in his fght on Carranza, have
retaken Mexico city. which was evacu-
ated yesterday by Gen. Gonzales. the
Carranza commander. after an occupa-
ton lasting a little more than a week.
II Is now accepted as a certainty by
administration officials hat the Villistas
have assembled or are about to assemble
In force in the neiEhborhood Of Mexico
city and that a battle Is imminent which
Will determine the fate OF Carranza as
q facter In the Mexican situation.
Officials here are not fully advised az
10 the exact strength of the Villists
army near Mexico city. There are said
TO be 1900 villista troops at Pachuca,
which is forty miles from the capital,
10000 Zapatistas In and round Mexico
city and 5000 or 5000 under command
Of Gen. Urbina at S%iltillo. a days march
from Mexico city. That these forces
have been or will be m, bilised near
Mexico city to meet CarIanza's army
Is believed TO be certain.
II Carranza should win this engage
nlent IL might lead to his recognition by
the United states. II. on the other hand,
he should lose. officials here believe II
would be the beginning of the end OF
his position Of influence In Mexico.
Villista agents here assert that II Oar
RAMA Is beaten In the forthcoming en-
gagement. the result will be the First
Chiefs elimination and the organization
Of "a % lition government that will ul-
timately have the support of Washing
on.
However. officials here are not draw
ing nasty conclusions from Gonzaless
retirement from Mexico city and It's re-
occupation by the Zapatistas, for the
reasons hat conditions change rapidly
in Mexico, with no certainty that the
faction that Is in me saddle to-day will
not be thrown before the mex twenty
four hours.
Information received at the state De-
partment to-day seems to indicate that
Gen. Gonzales was driven out OF Mexico
city. 4 Department bulletin issued to-
day said In part
The Department Is in receipt Of ad-
vices dated at about noon on the 18th
stating that the evacuation Is complete.
The Zapatis,as occupied the city on the
afternoon OF the 18TH and on the 18Th
appointed some authorities. They are
therefore again In fun power. II Is
stated. however. that their actions in
dictate a desire to maintain order.

The Department has received advices
laying that as a result OF military OPP
erations " the I've cities railroad
communication TIVE Vera Cruz and
Mexico city has again been suspended.
The Carranza agency here announced
tonight that 100000 in gold and
silver bullion IL about to be shipped TO
New York from Vera Cruz. The bullion,
IL was said, had reached Vera Cruz
under a strong military guard. The

ASQUI1H WON'T MAKE
COTTON %CONTRABAND
Admits Dissatisfaction. but
Tells Commons Change
Wouldn't Be Easy.

CPt''s' W. ''bt'N w ~ 49,
LONDON. July ~?o.-Another attempt
was made In the House OF Commons to-
day to induce the Government to make
cotton c~ontraband OF war. A strong
appeal toward this end was made BY
Sir Henry Dalziel.
Mr.. Asquith in ~response to an In
sistent demand for prompt action In
this respect said that no subject vas
receiving more watchful consideration
at the hands of the Government.
But It is a very difficult matter OF
solution he said. 1T Is easy, to be
sure. to put forward one broad line OF
policy and to say that this has the
advantage over some other line OF poll
icy. but there are questions so minute
and delicate with such difficult rsmifi-
cations that o may be multiplying
rather than minimizing the d%ificulty.
II am not satisfied myself with the
existing state Of things. believe that
a great deal OF cotton reaches Germany
which ought not TO. On the other hand.
We have to be very careful In exercising
our belligerent right not to impinge on
the legitimate trade interests OF neutral
Powers with whom we are on terms Of
perfect amity.
we certainly do not desire to do
anything that will provoke a %gratuitous
quarrel. Everything has to be taken
into account with due perspective and
preparation. The Government hope.
however. without much delay. TO obtain
a more satisfactory and more adequate
solution of the difficulties"
The Board OF Trade has decided that
If the ownership OF cotton shipped under
the agreement with American exporters
passes from the American shipper to
an enemy of Great Britain II will not
be purchased by the British Government
under the terms of the agreement.
