2 FEDERALS ADVANCE TOWARD MONTEREY Heavy Fighting Seen as Reb- els and Government Extend Scale of Operations. (Continued From First Fage.) between Queretaro and Zacatecas. The | only railroad outlet from the capital appeared to be from Mexico City to| San Luis Potosi and thence to Tampico. | By the Assoclated Press. EL PASO, Tex, March 6—The threatened attack on Juarez by revolu- tionary Mexican troops recalls other drives on the neighboring city, across the border. The last time the late Franciseo Villa, bandit leader, attacked the city in 1919, the episode had its amusing as well as serious aspect. Villa skirted the side of the Sierras Madres with his followers, while the antiquated guns of Fort Hidalgo, out- side Juarez, belched lead in his direc- tion. A mile, perhaps, was as far as the old cannons could shoot and their loud, but harmless booms only caused Villa to laugh. There was some rifle REVOLT SENDS MEXICAN Americans Stranded in Capital. Loss of Monterey cost the government | an industrial center and the key to the | railroad system of Northern Mexico. There is a railroad line to Tampico | from Monterey which might aflord‘ rebels access to the Tamaulipas. i Disruption of communications in the porth has left several hundred Ameri- can tourists, most of them anxious to get back home, in Mexico City. These have visited the American embassy here and it was thought possible today that Ambassacdor Morrow would procure & special train and heavy guard escort to take them to Tampico. Unofficial estimates placed the mili- tary strength of the revolting forces at about one-sixth of the total Mexican army of 60,000 officers and men. It is pointed out that this situation 48 not nearly so bad as that which existed in the revolt of Adolfo de la Huerta in 1923, when the rebel forces comprised more than half the army but still lost their campaign There is a feeling that the govern ment will be able to down the revolt. Government announcements cleared up various phases of the campaigns. Of the capture of Monterey, it was said Gen. Escobar, in compliance with a telegraphed expression of loyalty, had been ordered to take his troops and transport them to Monterey. He did this, using government trains and equipment. but once there demanded the surrender of the garrison. which was commanded by Gen. Rodrigo Zuriaga. Monterey Garrison Retreats. Gen. Zuriaga refused the request. After a short battle, in which Zuriaga was killed, the remaining members of the garrison of 250 men retreated to Linares. Another government announcement | said that Col. Adalberto Tekeda, gov- | ernor of the State of Vera Cruz had evaded the rebels and with 500 fol- Jowers was between Jalapa and Teocelo trying to raise more followers. Gen. Francisco Borquez, revolutionary commander in Nogales, Sonora. an- nounced receipt of word from Fausto Topete, governor of the state and one of the leaders of the revolt, that mili- tary leaders in Chihuahua City had Joined the rebels. Bishop Juan Navarette of the Roman Catholic diocese of Sonora was in the interior arranging for the first general observance of mass since 1026, when refused to continue services t they regarded as unrea- sonable religious laws.

By the Associated Press. PARIS, March 6.—News of revolu- tion in Mexico has caused a slump in Mexican stocks and bonds on the Paris Bourse. Six per cent Mexican bonds fell from 840 francs at the opening of the stock exchange to 798 at closing time, while Bank of Mexico values g;cpped to 708 francs after opening at 6. The Mexican revolution has pushed President Hoover's peaceful inaugura- tion in Washington off the front pages of the French newspapers, although some papers see a possible dangerous onnection between the two events. The ntransigeant fears the United States may be drawn into the conflict as me- diator or by recognition of the rebels if they are successful, which, it says “would be a hectic beginning for Mr. Hoover's administration.” CITY NEWS IN BRIEF. ‘TODAY.

S. Troops at Fort Bliss Drove Villa From Juarez in 1919 by Testing Cannons firing, however, and some of the bul- lets went across into El Paso. The United States Army had_ only recently shipped some French 75's to Fort Bliss, near El Paso, and as a mat- ter of protection some of these were tested. The shells whizzed over the vieinity of Juarez, poking a hole through a cupoia on the Juarez race track and tearing gashes in the mountains down which Villa was advancing. As a re- sult the bandit chieftain retreated. On a previous occasion, when Viila did take Juarez, American troops went across the line to protect El Paso. Neither side in the fight in that sector then had uniforms and loyal troops identified themselves by.wearing their left trouser legs rolled up. MANY CITIZENS OF U. S.
