MAJtFA. TEXA*. Dec. 4 —A tr.t i
of d^ath marks the path of thousands !
of Mexican fugitives, Federal soldiers i
and civilians alike w ho are fleeing i
fr »m the vicinity of Chihuahua Cii> !
to the l.’nitfcd Htates border. It is!
feared there are Americans among j
the refugees.
The bodies of dead and dying, w ho I
dropped from hunger and fatigue
upon the desert, are monuments to
the suffering of the fleeing, panic-
stricken fugitives.
- Forty miles of-thef way lies across
a barren desert across which no wa-
t«r flows, and the only vegetation is
an occasional cluster of thorny cac
tus.
Most of the fugitives are on foot,
and were unable to supply themselves
with food an»i water when they
reached the edge of the desert. Only
t few are fortunte enough to have
pack .mules or burros to carry tneir
few belongings.
Among, th*; -fugitives is said to b #i
General Luis Terrazas, ^ millionaire,
win* owns vast ranches and. go’.d
Oiines in north elm .Mexico. But his
wealth failed to avail him in the des
ert, although it provided him with a
horse to ride.
There are at least 3.000 Federal
>’roops among th*' stragglers, all A
whom may cross the Rio Grande and
surrender t<*the United States au
thorities rather than face annihila
tion at the hands of the Constitution-'
ali^ts.. There are also a number of
foreigners among the fleeing band.

Special Cable to The Atlanta Georgian.
MEXICO CITY, Dec. 4.—The gov
ernment to-dav ordered newspapers
to publish no ..details as to military
rfiovertiertts unless such Information as
they used came from an official
source. As the only “official” news
given out consjsts of reports of Fed
eral victories, this order means that
the public Is not to be informed of any
government defeats.
Huerta, to-day accepted the 'Con
gressional indorsement of his action
in calling for an army of 100,000 men
as complete approval of his course Jn
defying the United States, and officials
of the government were notified that
he would continue to exercise for one
v^ar hjs . extraordinary power as re
lating to measi/fes for war. These
were the pow ers which he seized when
he dissolved the session of C<jjixgrps$
controlled by the Madetists and as
sumed the position of dictator.

President Huerta,” said one of the
Cabinet Ministers to-day. “It real

Huerta Calls Defeats
A Part of His Plan.
Special Cable to The Atlanta Georgian.
PARRS, Dec. 4.—The Matin to-day
printed a Mexico City cablegram signed
by General Huerta, declaring that the
evacuation of Chihuahua City. Juarez
and Ciudad Victoria by the Federate was
deliberate and part of the Government’s
campaign of action. He denied that they
should be accepted as Federal defeats,
saying that they were strategic move
ments.

LOUISVILLE, KW. Dec 4.—Colo
nel John H. Whallen,. a leading the
atrical man and one of the last rep

youngest Confederate veteran in the

joFied Morgan's men and became one
of the most efficient scouts in tho
Confederate service.
Starting in the theatrical business
here soon after the war, he was su -

30 years powerful in Louisville and
the State. Whallen was one of the
largest stockholders in the Empire

military governor of the state of Chi
huahua, to police the city until the j
Constitutionalists take possession of I
it, deserted to-day and are in ful; ]
flight toward the United States bor
der.
The flight of the military police
leaves Chihuahua City, a community
of 35,000, without protection from
bandits or other marauders.
This information was received at
Juarez in a dispatch from the south
and may hasten the complete occu
pation of Chihuahua City by General
Villa’s army;
The United States military authori
ties have decided to give protection
to any Federal generals who wish to
surrender to save their lives.
The Federal Government feared that
General Villa would imprison and j
execute them upon his arrival, despite
Villa's assurances that the military
police would have protection.
Reports that Generals Mercado,
Orozco, Salazar and other Federal
leaders, who w ere defeated by General
Villa, are fleeing toward the Rio
Grande led Brigadier General Tasker
H. Bliss, U. S. A., to order a detach
ment of the Fifteenth Cavalry to be
in readiness to dash to any point the
Federals may reach.
General Villa, who left Juarez late
yesterday with the rear guard of his
rebel army, snent the night at Sama-
lyuca, 32 miles south. He sent word
to General Vids, commandant of the
Juarez garrison, that the troop trains
which left Juarez yesterdaj morning
had reached Ahumada, 75 miles south,
without encountering any Federals.
