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. Huerta Prepares to Be Dictator a Year. 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. • “Congress is In full accord 'with President Huerta,” said one of the Cabinet Ministers to-day. “It real izes that he is doing everything pos- DAY OVER BORDER Mexico City newspapers ordered to print no war news not given out by Huerta's officials, who are suo* pressing information of rebel vic tories. * * * Huerta prepares to use his “ex traordinary” military authority, approved by his Congress, for one year, and announces that he will die before he will give in. • * * Two hundred Federal soldiers, left in Chihuahua as police, de sert the city and flee to the United States border, fearing massacre by rebels when they take possession of the city. * * * Thousands of refugees from Chi huahua State are fleeing across the desert to Texas, many perishing from thirst and hunger. sible for the pacification of his coun try. The revolution in the north would have been crushed long ago had war supplies not been sent across the border to the so-called Constitu tionalists. ‘‘The embargo estaunshed by Presi dent Wilson was a Joke. At all times the rebels have been able to get sup plies. “General Huerta is a Mexican pa triot. He will die before he will sur render to the enemies of |his coun j try.” 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. Military Guards Flee From Chihuahua. EL PASO, TEXAS. Dec. 4.—Two hundred Federal soldiers left in Chi huahua City by General Mercado. Col, John H, Whallen,! Youngest 'Vet' of '63, Kentucky 'Boss/ Dies LOUISVILLE, KW. Dec 4.—Colo nel John H. Whallen,. a leading the atrical man and one of the last rep resentatives of the old-time political “boss,” died last night. He was the youngest Confederate veteran in the United States. At the age of 13, \n 1863. Whallen ran away from home. 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 - eessful. Entering politics, lie was for 30 years powerful in Louisville and the State. Whallen was one of the largest stockholders in the Empire circuit of burlesque theaters and was treasurer for years. He owned ih 1 Buckingham Theater here and leaves a fortune of a million or more. 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.
