HEAI] THEM OFF Federal Leaders Horrying to voss Border. UTTLE HOPE OF CAPTURE ‘Muerta Commanders in Northern Mex- ico, Accompanied by Several Thou- sand Soldiers and Citizens, Expect to Reach United States Safely. Juarez, Dec. 4.—Confident that the meven federal generals who evacuated Chihuahua City with their troops in- N tend. to seek refuge in the United i states and thus be beyond danger of Weing taken prisoners by the rebels, @eneral Francisco Villa sent more rebels to attempt to intercept them. “ The generals, led by General Sal- wedore Mercado, whose desertion of Ghihuahua and whose statements that Be had no money to pay his troops are regarded as a virtual breakdown of the Huerta dictatorship so far as the north of Mexico is concerned, are headed for Ojinaga, on the border. It 8 thought they will cross the river at Presidio. At P arrested I dio they are expected to be the United States mili- + tary authc es, taken to Maria and thence to San Antonio. Their arrest on crossing the river would follow as & matter of course, under a ruling of Secretary of War Garrison. With the generals are many sub- ordinate officers. about 2,000 federal regular soldiers, and more than 1,000 people of the wealthier class of Chi- huahua, who took flight rather than face an attack by the rebels. Villa had little hope that his sol- . diers would be able to ¢ ke the federals, who ieft Chihuahua several |Ior themselves and men. days before thc liwt of their mght be- came known. | REBELS CONTROL THE NORTH Huerta’s Supporters Evacuate All That Section of Mexico, Juarez, Dec. 4.—General Villa has etarted on his way to Mexico City.
