These were Carranza's final words
before his flight from his besieged trains

ing m0mentarily before a crowd of ter
rified civilian refugees a few miles east
Of San Marcos. accompanied by a few
intimates and guarded by what the

The fugitive president crossed the
narrow valley through which the Mexican
railway passes. stopped for few
moments to watch the liberal rcvolu-
tionary forces occupy the stalled trains
and then disappeared among the
mountains.
Seeking Some Small Port
II is believed that Carranza is head
ing northeast toward the coast by way
of Cofre de perote. with the intention
of boarding q steamer at some small
port and escaping from the country.
Judging from the list of captured of
fieials and generals received on Sunday
at headquarters here of the liberal re-
yolutionary government. few are accom-
panying CarrAnZa.

More Than $500 Prisoners.
With more than 900 prisoners al

strong aud heavily armed force which
Carranza took from the capital has been
scattered as hundreds of the soldiers

ident abandoned the trains.

tans on both sides of the railway.
Think Flight Due TO Ignorance.
They expressed bitterness at Carran
za's failure to accept the safe conduct
offered him by both General Gonzales
and General Obregon. 1t is believed
possible, however. that Carranza did not
know that Vera Cruz had been captured,
nor that virtually the entire republic
had turned against his administration.
and persisted in the attempt to reach
Vera Cruz and there set up his ad-
in temporary capital.
Cavalry columns under Generals Cam
aritlo Guajardo and Gonzales are pur-
suing Carranza. The pursuit is diff
cult because of the nature of the ter
rain. and his speedy capture is consid-
cred improbable.
