Admiral rletcher cabled today that j
lue battleship New Hampshire had j
lett Tuxpam to return to Vera Cruz, j
Taken in connection with the. pledge J
from constitutional General Aguilar,
Hint his men would not molest foreign :
property, the movement was regarded
as evidence that the restoration of
order was complete between Tuxpam
and Tampico. The Madero refugees
were transferred late last night to the
Chester from the battle
ship Rhode Island, and the Chester
sailed for Havana.

ing a clearing of the tangle in which
the Mexican congress lias involved it
self, interest is now centered in the
naval situation on the gulf coast. The
approach of two British cruisers was
communicated to the state department
through the British embassy without
eliciting any expressions of disap
proval and that is taken as another ev
idence that the United States and
Great Britain are acting In harmony
as to naval forces to protect foreign
interests. It is pointed out in naval
circles that with German and French
warships in the same waters, there
ould be no objection to the presence
of British ships. Unofficial advices
from the government agents in the
sections of Mexico where the consti
tutionalists are operating, suggest a
revival of a plan to seek recognition
from the United iStates for a de facto
government, claiming jurisdiction by;
right of possession; the establish
ment -of a capital and of an organized
administration in all that part of Mex
ico iortti 6f a llr.f drawn about-flue
west from Tuxpam or Tampico.
Secretary Bryan issued this state
ment relative to Mexico City dis
patches about the movement of British
warships to Mexico:
"The statement published this morn
ing to the effect that the state depart
ment protested against the action of
Great Britain in sending war vessels
to Mexican waters is absolutely false.
And in denying the statement I desire
to add a condemnation of statements
of that kind without taking time to in
quire into their truth or falsity. A
denial cannot reach all who read the
statement nor can it prevent the
discussion and editorial comments
that are predicated on the false state
mont Snrplv in international affairs
there ought to be a patriotic desire to j
promote friendly relations, ana inese
cannot be promoted by the reckless
publication of false statements in re
gard to the acts of government offi
cials." '
Trouble at Orizaba.
Vera Cruz, Mex Nov. 22. Five hun
dred Mexican troops left this city
last night for Orizaba, seventy miles
southwest of Vera Cruz, where the
insurgents are becoming active.
The Mexican gunboats Seragoza and
Vera Cruz, and the transport Progress
left this port during the night with
troops and supplies for Tuxpam and
Tampico. There are now no Mexican
war vessels there.
8ALESLADY QUESTIONS
ROCKEFELLER'S CREDIT
Cleveland, Nov. 22. "Please have
these charged to John D. Rockefeller,
of Forest Hill," said the richest man
in the world, today to a young woman
clerk in a down town department
store from whom he had made some
purchases.

she did not know Mr. Rockefeller of
Forest Hill, telephoned the head of

ERALS AR
ON
JUAREZ
THE ADVANCE GUARD IS WITHIN 32
MILES OF THE BORDER CITY, AND
VILLA SENDS OUT REBEL TROOPS
TO MEET THEM.-BATTLE EX
PECTED THIS AFTERNOON.
VILLA CLAIMS TO HAVE
7,000 MEN AT JUAREZ
El Paso, Texas, Nov. 22. Federals
are within thirty-two miles of Juarez,
according to the rebels now holding
Hit border .Mexican town and Paneho
Villa and WW men have gone out to
meet and light them.
This statement was made at 10: JO
this morning in Juarez to an Associat
ed Press representative 'by General
Jcse Rodriguez, one of Villa's princt
rod lieutenants. He declared that
Villa and his chief of staff, Juan
N. j
Medina, had left an hour before for
the south, after receiving reliable lu
fnrmation that the federals had reach
ed Samalayuca, thirty-two miles be
low Juarez.
General Rodriguez declared that
3000 additonal men were being prepar i
ed and would go south just as soon as
ihpv could be loaded on the trams. He
said Villa and Medina took two train
leads of men and that there were
trains pnnueh to convey the other
3000 men as soon as the engines could
be fired up. The two trains tnat vnia
took out would return for re inforce-
ments in a short time, he declared.
Prenaratlons had been made for a I
i,t narnrte. in Juarez this morumg in
.
.i..u...in f n,o vintnrv nf the rebels
nr Hip federals last Saturday, but
the preparations were called off when
the definite news caine of the near ap
proach of the federals.
Why the federals should have got so
close to Juarez before Villa learned
o:' it. is a mystery, if Villa has as
many men scattered souih of Juarez
a.i he has claimed. He has always
said that he had 2000 men outside the
city scattered along the Mexican Cen
tral railroad. Evidently these men
were not there or Villa would have
bt en' advised sooner of the approach
ot the federals.
Villa claimed yesterday that he had
7000 men In Juarez. Just how near
this figure was correct is known only
ti Villa and his chief lieutenants. The.
town was literally alive with rebel
soldiers: every street and every
house, it seemed, was full of men. All
ivprn heine fitted out with shoes and
new blue overalls and jumpers. Some
were getting suits. Villa gave u oui
on his arrival in Juarez that he had
destroyed the Mexican Central as he
came to Juarez and that the federal
could not follow. One of his staff of
ficers declared today that the road
had only been torn up in places and
that the federals could easily repair
it,
"We hope they do repair it and
come after us," said the officer, "for if
they dou't come after us we will have
to go after them and we would rather
meet them in the open than attack
them in Chihuahua again."
Villa carried considerable artillery
with him this morning when he left
Juarez,
Villa returned to Juarez at 11
o'clock after having distributed his
1000 men along the railroad Imme
diately south of Juarez and began su
pervising the entraining of the other
troops. He said he did not lntena iu
advance today to Samalayuca to meet
the federals there, but expected to
concentrate his men about 10 miles
south of Juarez to give battle to the
federals there when they should come
closer.
Fighting is reported to have already
commenced between Villa's advance
guard and the federal advance guard.
Villa expects to fight the federals
about 15 miles out and believes the
battle will be on by 5 o'clock. The
ff deral advance is said to be followed
by large reinforcements, that should
make the two commands about equal
when they meet.
The rebels sent an automobile ma
chine gun platoon to the front this
mnrnine. consisting of five motor cars
each carrvine four rapid fire guns and
three men. Villa's chauffeur "Frenchy"
was in command.

Carranza Makes Merry.
Magdalena, Sonora, Mex., Nov. 22.
With a hard campaign along the west
coast awaiting him. General Venustl
ano Carranza, the Mexican constitu
tionalist chief, prolonged today his
stay in this town, the center of an
agricultural district and apparently
unconcerned with either military or
diplomatic matters.
Carranza will entertain tonight with
a dance for the townspeople and offi
cers of his staff. The train from Her

Carranza has been in close touch ;

that Miss Day was visiting there and

MEXICO HEARS
THAT U. S. IS
YIELDING
HUERTA IS SOON TO BE RECOGNIZED,
ACCORDING TO REPORTS PUB
LISHED AT MEXICO CITY.-GREAT
REJOICING FOLLOWS THE RECEIPT
OF THIS REPORT.
THE HALE-CARRANZA
EPISODE IS THE CAUSE
.Mexico City, Mex., Nov. 22. The
.Mexican morning newspapers under
government domination published on
their front pages today long articles
regarding the alleged Intention of the
United States government to recog
nize Provisional President Huerta in
the near future. El Independiente had
a seven column headline which read:
"Huerta will be recognized by the
American government.
"The special envoy of President Wil
son able to prove anarchy was reign
ing in the camp of the rebels of the
north."
El Diario similarly displays an item
stating that Secretary of State Bryan
had already signed a communication
recognizing Huerta. The same news
paper quotes Querido Moheno, the
Mexican foreign minister as saying he
has "no official knowledge" of the
fact, but that from private sources
he has received "very optimistic
news and has hopes of an early ad
justment" of the difficulties between
Mexico and the United States.
El Indenendiente. at great length.
relates that the failure of the confer
ence between William Bayard Hale
and Carranza, the constitutionalist
leader, was due to the conviction of
President Wilson and Secretary of
State Bryan, that the rebel chief could
not give assurances for the safety of
the lives and property and foreign
ers. The newspaper continues:
"President Wilson and Secretary ot
State nrvan. after listening attentive
ly to the representation ot their en
voy, decided Provisional President
Huerta was the only man cniV.
..j iciv uays."
The foundation for the optimism of
the Mexican press appears to be cer
tain cablegrams received here by for
eign business men, expressing the
horror felt by President Wilson at the
killing of federal prisoners, when the
rebels took Juarez. These cablegrams
were at first erroneously translated as
referring to the killing of American
army men there. The Imparcial dis
played the story yesterday and it was
copied by the afternoon papers. It
caused an unmistakable atmosphere
of optimism in the national palace,
where the news appeared to be fully
credited.
Rebels now control a district In
which are located some of the camps

which Thomas Coleman, an Ameri- j

O'Shaughnessy is treating with the ;
Mexican foreign office.
The rebels are not interfering with I
the work iu the oil camps but are con-i
tenting themselves with collecting
tribute.
The manager of a local bank withi
" Torreon received a tele-
gram iouay num ui '
(Pancho) Villa, the rebel leader, de
manding that his drafts be honored.
The bank manager is Inclined to com
ply with this demand, fearing harm1
may come to the local manager if it
be refused. The officers of the little
garrison of lxtapalapa, the suburb of
the federal capital, were arrested to
day and are to be tried by court mar
tial for complicity in a plot to start a
military uprising. The government!
officials declare that a search of the
houses in the suburb brought forth
evidence connecting prominent Mexi
