prominent Federal* feared, that thej
United States would recognize the
< 'onstitutionalisi. or rebel, Govern-,
ment. He is confident of his power
to thwart Villa and hi* men; he was |
not eo certain that he could with- j
stand the rebels if they had been sup
ported by the moral backing of Uncle I
Bam.
Huerta’s men are busy denying that '
TreneraJ Salvador Mercado, command
er of the Fed era la in Northern Mex- j
ico, made overtures for peace to the j
rebels. In spite of the denials, how- I
ever, the report of Mercado’s action I
is generally believed, and is thought j
to constitute tbe most serious blow i
yet struck at Federal prestige.
Local Revolts Feared.
The prospect of local Insurrections, !
fostered by frightened Federals in the
capital or by hitherto silent advocates ,
of the rebels’ cause, is considered not
Impossible. Preparations for defense
In event of strife within Mexico City
are being made by all citizens of
foreign powers except the Americans.
The people of the United States who
have remained In Mexico City to look
after their interests fear that any at
tempt they might make to Insure
protection would he construed bv
the Federal* its hostile. Therefore
they have arranged to seek shelter
with the Europeans in event of trou
ble.
Huerta’s officials are seizing upon
flimsy pretexts for the arrest of
Americans. H. S. Kidder, connected
with an American oil corporation,
was arrested on the charge of sedi
tion, although the grounds of his
detention were practically nothing.
His entire offense, it is understood,
consisted of looking at the land
scape through his field glasses, and
In talking to natives In the course , f
his travel concerning general con
ditions.

they have escaped the horrors of
war that have hitherto marked every
spot where Federals made resistance
to the powerful Constitutionalists.
Villa has a force of nearly 7.000
men. a formidable army, according
to the standards of Mexico. He left
* Juarez with 2,000. and 5.000 more men
joined him on the way.
Recruits flock to the rebels in great
numbers. Villa confidently expects to
have 20,000 men by Christmas, when
he will confront the capital.
Rebels Start in Few Days.
The march of the rebels will be
continued toward Mexico City with
in a day or two. Temporary military
headquarters of the Constitutionalist
party probably will be established,
and then Villa will continue hiH
march, leaving only a few hundred
men to garrison Chihuahua.

command of the Federals who occu

Federals Threaten Mutiny.
The city Is quiet, and the residents,
If anything, welcome the advent of
the rebels. Mercado, practically
bankrupt and without funds to pay
his disgruntled forces, had for days
been thre«ut curing to exact tribute.
His soldiers, on the other hand, were
an even greater menace. They
threatened looting and mutiny.

Dr.Bull’s
NEW YORK, I>ec. 6.—The decree
of divorce granted in July of last
year to Mrs. Henry A. Siebrecht, Jr.,
wife of the wealthy Fifth avenue
florist, by Justice Mills, in White
Plains, was reversed by the Appellate
Division sitting in Brooklyn.
The reversal was made on the
ground of insufficient evidence. The
higher court held that a stovepipe,
through which one of the chief wit
nesses against the husband declares
she saw r many things, was not "in a
possible range of vision.”
The witness who testified she saw
through a stovepipe Siebrecht an 1
Mrs. Miner sitting on a couch, was
Mrs. Thurza Tucker, who keeps a
boarding house at Hawleyville, Conn.
She said she had peeped through the
pipe after she had heard both go to
the room. The alleged offense was
said fo have taken place at the board
ing house at which the Miner and
Siebrecht families were spending
their vacations.

jaunty manner. It appears that when
he married a loving couple the evening

pay him any fee, but walked off with
the magistrate's brand-new hat.
“I just bought that hat,’’ said Sum-

That man I married w’ore a hat that
looks as though he got It at a rummage
sale. He is the meanest man in Los
Angeles County.”
