Natera’s rebels in the State of Za
catecas are moving south toward the
the State capital. They now /hold
the railway north of Calera. An at
tack on the capital of the State is ex
pected at any moment.
The Government has reported that
the Zapatistas who have been active
in the suburbs of the capital have de
parted for Morelos, but the truth is
that they are quite as numerous as
ever in the suburbs. Zapata himself
is reported to have ventured into the
city twice to visit a former sweet
heart.

Central Railroad was wrecked at
Chintepec station, in the State of
Guantajara. The engine and all the
cars of the train were overturned.
No details concerning the number of

The wreck is said to have been caused
I by rebels.
WASHINGTON Dec 20.—The
Navy Department has determined, in
view of the importance of the Tam
pico situation, to keep all the vessels
there which were assigned to the
protection of foreigners in that city.
The American vessel Chester and
tile British cruiser Suffolk, which
went to Vera Cruz, have been or
dered back to Tampico.
What navy officials say privately is
that it is not to be expected that the
strong forces of the Constitutionalisms
which recenly attacked Tampico will
give up the struggle, and that on
the contrary Tampico, so far as
Huerta and his rivals are concerned,
is the key of the situation
Admiral Fletcher, it is true, report
ed, in a dispatch dated 5 o'clock yes
terday at Tampico, that conditions
were normal. The State Department,
however, admits that it has “rumors”
of the renewal of the attack on Tam- ■
pico and that these “rumors” are not
confined to newspaper reports.
The action of the Navy Department
in sending back the Chester instead
of withdrawing one-half of the ships
from Tampico, as intended a day or
two ago, shows that another and per
haps a more serious situation is to
be developed.
One of the officials, in fact, said
that the world would not tolerate a|
repetition at Tampico of what was
done by Villa, evidently with tlie ap
proval of Carranza, at Chihuahua.
The Spanish Ambassador in Wash
ington has very clearly proved that
Villa had no justification for his de-

EL PASO, TEXAS, Dec, 20.—North-
, rn Mexico is to be made a wilder
ness.
Realizing the impossibility of cap
turing the country from the rebels,
Victoriano Huerta has ordered :he
remnants of his army, now at Ojina
ga. to begin a campaign of destruc
tion that will make the States of
Chihuahua and Coahuila untenable
for Pancho Villa and his followers.
Villages are to be laid waste and
farms made desolate. The campaign
will be similar to that waged several
months ago against Zapata in South
ern Mexico.
Particular attention is to be paid
the Mormon colonies in the vicinity
af Casas Grandes. Inez Salazar, the
s K-ialist general, has been chosen by
Huerta to command the column of
destruction that will march against
ihe Mormons.
Two years ago, during the Orozco
-evolution, Salazar destroyed much of
the Mormons’ property and forced
th m to flee to the United States.
Salazar’s orders, as learned here, are
to march from Ojinaga to Casas
Grandes. sweeping a path twenty
miles wide the entire distance.
Everything in this path will be de
stroyed. No attack will be made on
Juarez at the present time, the idea
simply being to make the northern
portion of the State untenable.
While Salazar is thus engaged Pas-
cuai Orozco will proceed up the Con-
, hos River from Ojinaga. through Cu-
, Milo Parado, to Santa Rosalia, where
,\ junction will be formed with Gen
erals Valadeo and Navarette, from
Torreon. The combined armies then
will attack Chihuahua City. Both
armies will destroy everything possi
ble on their marches to Santa Rosa-
11 A VAN A. Dec. 20.—Felix Diaz to
day emphatically denied the report
that he is in any wav connected with
the reported attempt to organize a
new revolution in Northern Mexico
under the leadership of Emilio Vas
ques Gomez aftd with the aid of Pas-
cual Orozco, now commander of the
division of the Federal army in Chi
huahua.
“The report is not true,” said Gen
eral Diaz. I have no idea of enter
ing inti) any plot to seize the reins
of government in Mexico. 1 am for
constitutional government and snail
abide by constitutional rights. I be
lieve General Huerta is fast nearing
the end of his resources. He is trav
eling in circles.”
General Diaz said he did not think
Carranza capable of coping with the
situation as he has not been able to
control his own force. He said he be
lieved the Wilson Administration to
be friendly to Mexico.

MEXICO CITY, Dec. 20.— Accord
ing to official reports, the rebels at
tacking Tampico were repulsed this
afternoon, but the fighting was re
sumed and continues to-night
A fight'to the finish is expected, as
it is believed Adiriral Fletcher will
not interfere in any way this time,
nearly all the foreign residents hav
ing been removed by the warships
and auxiliaries.
Confiscation of the property of men
connected with the revolution is con
templated by General Huerta, as a
means of raising funds. The plan is
opposed by Minister of Justice Go-
rostieta on legal grounds. Runs on
the hanks have been checked by the
publication of a threat to have re
cruiting officers press into the army

is reported to be absolutely demor

deserted. Even the commandant.
General Pedro Ojada, is said to have
made advances for an amnesty. There
are two gunboats at Guaymas. These
have held the rebels in check.
