which has been invested by Mex-
. ican rebels. The Wheeling will
also leave at once.

PHOENIX, A RIZ , Dec. 9—The ex
ecutions by soldiers under General
Villa of Mexican Federal officeholders
in Juarez when the city was captured
by Constitutionalists is defended in a
letter written by General Venustiano
Carranza to Governor George W. P.
Hunt, of Arizona, and made public to
day by the Executive. Carranza says
that through a lack of a full under
standing of Mexican problems an out
sider might place a wrong construc
tion on the acts of the Constitutional
ists.
“That is due,” the letter soys, "to
the fact that criminal acts with which
this struggle was begun and the cruel
measures to maintain it are forgm-
ten.” 1
General Carranza relates that a
‘ corrupt minority of the defeated
factions” has attempted to control
the Government by violence, murder
ing. destroying property and forcing
peaceful men and boys to enter the
army to oppose the Constitutionalists
who are “fighting for the liberties of
the people.”
Men Given Clemency Before.
“With strict deference,” says Car
ranza's letter, “the Huerta officers
were tried and executed at Juarez.
Among them were some who had been
captured at Torreon by this same
General Villa, who. after pardoning
them, agreed that they should be en
listed by our forces. Thereafter they
had endeavored, though unsuccessful
ly, to create a defection of the men l
had intrusted to their command,
finally deserting to re-engage in
crime.
“It is true that the established
principles observed in international
wars extend to prisoners the privilege
of pardon or immunity from bodily
harm, but in civil struggles the most
civilized nations in all ages have enp
ployed more rigorous and bloody
means even than we have been com
pelled to adopt.”
Carranza says that the power of
clemency possessed by the Mexican
people has been exhausted, but that
he by means of definite reparation of
the national organizations wishes to
insure permanent tranquillity in Mex
ico.
Villa Prepares to
March on Capital.
Jl’AREZ, Dec. 9.—Cavalry patrols
were on duty in the streets here to-
and other t roops w#ia sont to
reinforce the outposts east and south
of the city.
This section was taken *by General
Benevides. the Constitutionalist com
mander here, in response to orders
transmitted from the city of Chi
huahua bj General Villa, who fears
that the Federal troops marching
north may be planning a sudden at
tack on Juarez.
Many civilians crossed over to El
Paso during the night. They fear
that another battle is going to take
place here.*
A message was received from Gen
eral Villa saying he will begin his
march on Mexico City as soon as he
rereives reinforcements from Sonora.

Huerta Holds Train
Ready for Flight.
Special Cable to The Atlanta Georgian.
MEXICO CITY. Dec. 9.—General
Huerta’s family have arrived safely
at Manzanillo, whence they are ex
pected to sail for Japan. The special
train reached Manzanillo early to
day. carrying five women and two
men in the party.
There is a United States battle
ship at Manzanillo, and it is under
stood that 'the commander of this
vessel was advised in advance that
the partv had left Mexico City and j
was asked to assure safety to the
parly after reaching the Pacific-
Coast port.
Following the flight of General
Huerta’s family, it was reported here
to-day that a train was being held in
readiness to carry the dictator him
self when his position becomes un
tenable.
Under orders from Huerta the ac
cumulated mail of the 83 deputies who
have been held in Belem prison for a
number of weeks was opened to-day.

ing proven a complete success—clear
