Special Cable to The Atlanta Georgian
MEXICO CITY, Dec. 10—Scores of
Federal soldiers upon whom General
Huerta had relied to keep his capital
out of the hat-ds <»f the Zapatistas
are deserting daily and Joining the
rebels It became known to-day that
some of the most trusted men of the
Mexico City and Cuernavaca garri
sons had decamped with large quan
tities of ammunition Thla was u
severe blow to the Government, whose
resources are steadily dwindling.
Desperate fighting is still going on
south of Cuernavaca. This is the
fourth day of the battle there. The
Federals under General Ca.stro have
thus iar held their own, but have
been unable to gain any decided ad
vantage. A large rebel force led by
the bandit Nerl is mar-■•lilng from
Puebla to aid Zapata, and if he ar
rives in time the Government army
will undoubtedly have to retire.
The action of Congress in declaring
the election of Huerta illegal Is ex
pected to make no change In the sit
uation here, as lie was d?reeled to
hold office until after next year’s
election in July but intense Interest
was displayed f -day by foreigners,
who anxiously inquired what action
the United States would take in view
of the latest developments.
Gen. Villa Wires
Loyalty to Carranza.
HERMOSILLO, MEXICO, Dec. 171
•—General Carranza to-day receiver
a dispatch from General Benovldes,
the rebel commander at Juarez, d«*
daring that General Villa recognized
the Provisional President of tie*
Constitutionalisms ; l9 supreme in all
matters relating to the revolution.
This message, coming after Carranza
had refused to send n inforcements
to Villa, was received with r« st rvu-
tions by the Constitutionalist loader.
It was marked that Villa hims- lf
sent no message pledging his loyalty,
although Bcnevides declared he had
been delegated by his superior to send
the dispatch.
This is the first time that either
Villa or any of his agents have rec
ognized Carranzu’s claims to be *1 •
actual leader of the northern revolt
bine© the capture of Juarez.
Mexican Gunboat Holds Up
Mobile Fishing Boat.
MOBILE, ALA., Dec. 10.—That the
Mexican Government is on the look
out for a filibustering expedition out
of Mobile and is keeping a sharp
watch on every vessel leaving any
pojnt on the Mississippi coast is the
belief strengthened by a report from
Pensacola of a Mexican gunboat stop
ping a fishing vessel off the Mobile
Par near Cat Island and searching
her. Cat Island is an Ideal place for
a gunboat <(• remain concealed and at
the same time keep a close look-out
on nil vessels leaving.
The revenue cutter Winona left
bere hurriedly last night. Mexican
terret service men here are watching
ail suspicious Mexicans.
Federals Fortify For
Battle on Border.
PRESIDIO, TEXAS (By U. s. Army
telephone to Marfa), Dec. 1ft -General
Salvadore Mercado's exhausted Fed
eral soldiers who fled northward w hen
the Constitutionalist army under Gen
eral Villa, moved on Chihuahua City,
were to-day set to work constructing
fortifications south of OJin; ga.
These preparations for defense were
dispatched from Chihuahua City with
1,50ft Constitutionalists to give battle
to the Federals at Ojlnaga.
General Villa fears a surprise at
tack on Ju.itez unless the Federal
army at Ojlnaga is either captiyad or
annihilated.

Well, some
atn printing t(
few suggest lor.
wives who ar
question: \V1
rnes present?
Not a few of them proved an in
spiration to me when 1 read them, but
maybe I'm a trifle sentimental. At
any rate, I like to read that-wives
really wish to give their huVbands
presents which they have made thern-
seives something that will bear the
mark of personality.
And I also like to know that hus
bands snatch enough time from their
business cares to think up some ap
propriate gift for their wives. It’s a
good sign when we can get both
sides of the family thinking and
planning. It means the quick solution
of the whole problem of Christmas
present giving.
In case you haven't written a letter,
please glance over this offer and
make a suggestion:
HERE IS MY OFFER.
