Huerta over the departments of In
terior and finance.
Juarez, Dec. 13. American who ar
rived on Thursday from Chihuahua re
ported that since their occupation of
that city the rebels had entered the
ISritish vice-consulate and forcibly
seized Luis Terrazas-, Jr., a son of tht
wealthiest land owner in Mexico, and
after carrying him through the streets,
placed him In Jail. The rebel also
served notice on 100 Spanish residents
of Chihuahua that they roust leave
the city within ten hour.
The Invasion of the Dritish consul
ate and the seizure or Terrazas, whe
had gone there for protection after
hearing that hi life wa in danger,
were roported to have occurred dur
ing the absence of the British vice
consul, Mr. Scobell. r
It waa aid that Scobell, enraged at
the action of Gen. Francisco Villa's
army, was denied facilities to protest
to the British minister at Mexico City
or to the British ambassador at Wash
ington and that he then appealed to
tho United States consul, Marion
Letcher.
All the foreign ministers are said
to have Joined in a protest in what
was regarded as a violation of the
rights of asylum under a foreign flag.
The story told by the Americans
was that Terrazas, who had been in
charge of much of his father' vast es
tate, including great cattle ranges, had
been left in Chihuahua after the evac
uation by the federals to look after
women and children members of his
family. .
It was said that a demand for S50,
000 which young Tcrranzas failed to
pay was the chief motive for hi ar
rest Luis Terrazas, aged father of
the prisoner, recently arrived at
Ojlnaga with the federal troope. Ill
great wealth ha been a special mark
for discussion in the jropaganda of
the revolution, while thousands of hie
cattle have served to feed both rebels

constitutionalists were making prog
ress in their attaok on. Tampico. He
added thut American ani all other
foreigners had been taken to a neu
