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. MARFA TEXAS, Dec. 4.-A trail of death marks the path of thousands of Mexican fugitives, Federal soldiers and civilians alike who are fleeing from the vicinity of Chihuahua City to the United States border. It is feared there are Americans among the refugees The bodies of dead and dying, who dropped from hunger and fatigue upon the desert, are monuments to the suffering of the fleeing, panic- stricken fugitives. Forty miles of the way lies acroee a barren desert across which no wa ter 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 and water when they reached the edge of the desert. Only a few are fortunte enough to have pack mules or burros to carry their few belongings. Among the fugitives is said to be General Luis Terrazas, a millionaire, who owns vast ranches and gold mines in northern Mexico.

Atlanta is the headquarters of the Southern Bell Telephone Company, which controls all the telephone lines In that part of the country. Other large establish ments operating throughout the United States have located in Atlan ta their Southern representatives.” Referring again to the currency bill, Mr. Maddox s:*id that measure had been very much improved, and he believed it would be further im proved In its progress through the Senate Legislators to Qo Slow Now. Mr. Maddox said also: "I was very much gratified to find In Washington, among the leaders of the Senate, the well defined opinion that It would not be wise at present to push further any radical legisla tion.

MEXICO CITY, Dec 4.—The gov ernment to-dav 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 hls 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.

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 execute them upon his arrival, despite Villa’s assurances that the. military police would have protection.
