Americans in MexieoCity Fear to Take Measures
for Own Protection Lest They Be (Vmsidered
Hostile by Huerta. Peace Overtures Denied.
Special Cable to The American.
MEXICO CITY, Dec. 6.—Driven to
desperate straits by the repeated vic
tories of the apparently invincible
rebels, Federal forces in the capital
are working frantically against the
time when "Pancho” Villa, ruthless
rebel lender, will carry out his threat
of conquest and pillage of the ancient
city.
Villa's word has preceded him In
his march southward from Juarez:
"I will have 20,000 men surrounding
Mexico City by Christmas Day,” he
promised “Our forces will grow as
we march southward, and by tile time
we reach the capital the people in
the city will be ready to join us.”
Federal Soldiers Desert.
And the Federals are almost ready
to accept bis threat as an accurate
prophesy. Villa seems unconquerable.
The Federal forces are depleted,
mostly through desertions, and the
authorities have been forced to the
most unusual methods of reqrulting
For one thing, they have conscript
ed servant girls by the score for a
detachment of women soldiers In
the rapital servant girls are fearful of
walking on the streets, knowing that
many of their friends have been
forced to service under the Federal
banner.
Men have ceased to enlist volun- I
tarlly in the Federal army. There- I
fore, the officers are compelled to ob- I
tain involuntary recruits. The favor
ite method is to have parties of able- I
bodied men arrested by the police, on I
flimsy charges, and then to intimi
date them into enlistment. An ex- 1
traordinary trick was worked a few
days ago. A moving picture theater
was posted with placards bearing the
alluring promise that the show with
in was for men only. Glowing pic
tures of the entertainment were
drawn by suggestion. Naturally, men
thronged the house, laughing with an
ticipation.
Unwilling Recruits Trapped.
Once they were within, the doors
behind were closed, and a number
of religious pictures were thrown up
on the screen. The first was the fa
miliar “The Virgin of Guadalupe.” the
patron saint of Mexico. The crowd
whs good-natured at first, thinking
this initial picture a mere spectacle
from which a. contract was to be
drawn. But then came another reli
gious picture, and another, all of them
reproductions of well-known paint
ings. The men. who had come ex
pecting a different sort of entertain
ment, began to grow restless, and
then later to start an angry uproar
The police were upon them almost
with the first shout, and off they
marched 6T» men to the prison. Once
there and locked behind the bars, the
men were forced to enlist.
To such expedients the Federals
are being driven, and in the ranks
there are many who have lost heart
and w'ho are ready to desert at the
first opportunity. And not only to
men in the ranks, hut to high offi
cials and authorities, the feeling of
Impending disaster seems fastened.
Huerta Alone Is Defiant.
To all except Victoriano Huerta,
Provisional President, and the bane
of the United States. Huerta is as
resolutely defiant a£ ever, and is ap
parently hopeful of ultimate success
for «the Federals.
“1 have no intention of yielding,”
he stated yesterday. "Should the
fighting in Mexico continue for years,
I will continue to do my part if 1
urn alive.”
Huerta was encouraged a little by
the proclamation of the United States
authorities announcing their policy of
continued neutrality concerning Mex
ican affairs. It is known that in his
heart lie feared, Just as the other
prominent Federals feared, that thej
United States would recognize the
Constitutionalist, or rebel, Govern
ment. He is confident of his power
to thwart Villa and his men; he was
not so certain that he could with
stand the rebels if they had been sup
ported by the moral hacking of Uncle
Sam.
Huerta's men are busy denying that
General Salvador Mercado, command
er of the Federals in Northern Mex
ico, made overtures for peace to the
rebels. In spite of the denials, how
ever. the report of Mercado’s action
is generally believed, and is thought
to constitute the most serious blow r
yet struck at Federal prestige.
Local Revolts Feared.
The prospect of local Insurrections,
fostered by frightened Federals in the
capital or bv 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 Statos who
have remained in Mexico City to look
after their interests fear that any at
tempt they might make to insure
protection would be construed by
trie- Federals as 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. R. 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 of
his travel concerning general con
ditions.

Villa Is at Chihuahua
Ready to March South
CHIHUAHUA. MEXICO. Dec. 6 —
General Villa and his rebel>army oc
cupy Chihuahua. They gained tlie
city without a struggle and there
fore the residents are rejoicing that
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 he

headquarters of the Constitutionalist
party probably will be established,
and then Villa will continue his
march, leaving only a few hundred
men to garrison Chihuahua.

San Francisco attorney, told his asso

“We are as merchandise, bought and

pied Chihuahua. Upon the approach
of the rebels he sent a peace com
mission to treat with Villa. The rebel
loader rejected his overtures scorn
fully. bu' Mercado did not w^it even
for the reply. He fled, with all his
officers and troops, and with a num
ber of civilian refugees, who prob
ably feared the vengeance of Villa.
It is believed that the peace com
mission was sent to Villa as mask
to enable the Federals to flee.
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 threatening to exact tribute.
His soldiers, on the other hand, were
an even greater menace. They
threatened looting and mutiny.
But Villa has come, and is already

\
NEW YORK, Dec. The encour
aging word of science that “heredity
is overwhelmingly a force for the
improvement of the race;” that “the
child at birth has not a f r w months,
but 10.000,000 years of unbroken life
to back him in his fight with envi

four-fifths of all the children are born
normal and healthy,” was proclaimed
by Dr. Woods Hutchinson. «
“One excitable gentleman,” he said,
“figured out that at the rate at which
insanity was increasing we would all
be mad in a century and a quarter.
"He forgot that the increase was
due largely to the fact that more
cases of Insanity are cared for to-day
than formerly. And. at the worst,
only from 1 to 2 1-2 per cent of hu

General Shake-up Is
Expected in L. & N.
BIRMINGHAM, Deo. fi — Rumors
will not down in Birmingham to «ie
effect that a wholesale change in of
ficials is about to take place on the
Louisville and Nashville Railroad. It
is said that B. M. Starks, now gen

or given an assistant, and that T. B-
Brooks, superintendent of the South

Birmingham Mineral divisions of the
L. & N„ will be called to the genefal
offices in Louisville. -
Either John R. Wheeler, of Nash

however, says there is nothing to the
rumors.
Aged Convert Pens
Verse Deriding Devil
HUNTINGTON, W. VA„ Dec. 6.—
E. W. Gorman, who is *3, has joined
a church here.
At the end of a prayer meeting at
Cottage Grove Baptist Church, con
ducted by Rev. J. J. Cook, the aged
man stepped forward and was bap
tized. After the baptism Mr. Gor
man recited this verse to the pastor:
The Devil's mad;
1 am glad.
For he's lost a sinner
He thought he had.
Mr Gorman said he never had been
a member of a church before, but de
sired to become a churchman before
he died.
Witness Could Not See Through
It, Judge Believes, and Di
vorce Is Annulled.
NEW YORK, Dec. 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 tnade 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
ahe saw many things, was not “in a
possible range of vision.”
The witness who testified she saw
through a stovepipe Siebrecht and
Mrs. Miner sitting on a couch, was
Mrs. Thurza Tucker, w'ho 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 to have taken place at the board
ing house at which the Miner and
Siebrecht families were spending
their vacations.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 6.—No longer

of exterminating the evil, pest, plague,

“Cl” has been operating since the
days of Romans, and in modern days

commonly known as “bedbug.”
It is asserted by the scientists that
“benzine or kerosene, or any petro

to eradicate “ci” and his brethren.
They also assert that “corrosive sub
limate is of value,” and that the
“liberal use of boiling hot water,
wherever it may be employed without
danger to the furniture,” is also an
effectual method oi “oesiroying both
eggs and active adults.”

Roulette wheels are said not to
