INSURGENTS ARE IN
| CONTROL OF MEXICO
TRIUMPH. OF REVOLUTIoNlSTS
FORECAST BY EVENTS OF
PAST FEW DAYS.
Greater Portion Of the Country in the
Hands Of Rebels and Carranza
Seeking Escape from Enemies, II
Not Already Prisoner.

Ell Paso.-All of Mexico except the
states of Yucatan, Campeche and CHA
pas and the northern part of the ter
ritory of Lower California, is In the
hands of the revolutionists, according
to bulletin given out by the local
consulate of the Liberal Constitution
alist party.
The claim is also made that Presi-
dent Carranza is now prisoner, in
the hands of the revOlutiOnists. On
the other hand it is asserted that
President Carranza, whose train was
stopped at Apizaco by revolutionary
forces on Saturday. has succeeded in
breaking through the rebel lines and
has come twenty miles nearer Vera
Cruz.
General Alvaro ObregOn has ordered
Carranza returned to the City Of Mex
leo, with all consideration, ordering all
commanders not to kill nor mistreat
any one of his company.
The City Of Mexico is quiet, accord
ing to a statement by revolutionary
leader. Orders have been issued by
Governor Adolfo de la Huerta, exec
utive of the Liberal Constitutionalist
government, in compliance with his
statements that all gambling be
stopped in all territory controlled by
his government, which practically is
the whole republic, for only three
states had failed to recognize the
movement headed by the state of Son
ora.
Meanwhile the American govern
ment, while continuing a policy OF
watchful waiting, is taking measures
to afford refuge to Americans. There
are estimated to be 5000 or 1000 in
Mexico, some draft dodgers and rad
icals who fled to escape the law. For
the most part, however. that class
probably is far in the> interior, and
Americans who might avail themselves
of aid are principally oil men and
planters along the gulf.
