There are also a number of foreigmerjj 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-day ordered newspapers to publish no details as to military movements unless such Information as they used came from an official source. As the only "official” news given out consists 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 150,000 men as complete approval of his course In defying the United States, and officials of the government were notified that lie would continue to exercise for one year his extraordinary power as re lating to measures for war. These were the powers which he seized when he dissolved the session of Congress controlled by the Maderlsts 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 sible for ths 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 eataoiished 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 try.” 1 Huerta Calls Defeats A Part of His Plan. Special Cable to The Atlanta Georgian. PARIS. Deo. 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 Federals 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 Mefrcado. military governor of the state of Chi huahua, to polioe the city until the Constitutionalists take possession of It, deserted to-day and are in full 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 airthorl- tles 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 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 were 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 Vlds, commandant of the Juarez garrison, that the troop trains which left Juarez yesterday morning had reached Ahumada, 76 miles south, without encountering any Federals.
