POSITION FORMIDABLE ONE I.tfe Xo Loiigcr Endurable With rood Supply Exhausted and Water Viaduct Destroyed Mount 2 ' alns Offer Retreat. " JCAREZ. Mexico. Dec. 1. Rather than endure starvation, the federal troops have evacuated Chihuahua City, which has been under siege for weeks. according to advices received tonight by General Francisco Villa, the rebel leader. The evacuation leaves the city open to occupation by the rebels. The report received by Villa was that Salvadora Mercado. military Governor of the state, with 2000 federal troops. had left on foot for Ojinaea. on the fritted States border near Marfa. Tex.: that Generals Jose Tnex Salaxar and Pascual Orozco. with more than 1000 federals, had retreated to the moun tains west of the city and that. hun dreds of civilians, including women and children, who were on the verjfe cf starvation, had started out to walk to the United States border. City Is Streea- Ioia. Besides being the capital of the Hate. Chihuahua City, with a popula tion normally of 35.000. Is the metrop olis of Northern Mexico. Neither In the Madero revolution nor in the pres ent uprising has Chihuahua been taken from the federals. Its garrison and the commanding; positions for sharp shooters and machine guns, afforded by the cathedral and public buildings heretofore, had presented a formidable barrier to invaders. Had the rebels reached the city and the federals re sisted. It was believed that a fight in the city would have resulted in great loss of life and property. Conditions in the city were sal to be such that life there was no longer endurable. The Spanish viaduct which conveyed water from the mountains was reported to have been destroyed and the food supply exhausted. General Villa tonight telegraphed details of the vacuation to General Carranza at Hermosillo. stating that the proposed r.drance of the rebels suothward to -Mexico City would not be expedited. The possession of the city, he said, would make rebel territory of the coun try straight through to Zacatecas and operations would besln about that city and at A&uas Callentes. Report Said to Be AataeaUc. Among the besiegred citizens at Chi huahua who are believed to be seeking refuge elsewhere were Juan Creel, a banker and relative of Enrique Creel, former supporter of President Diaz and Albert Terrazas. a wealthy land owner. General Villa said Federlco Moye, a prominent merchant, had been named civil Governor of Chihuahua State, his selection being based on the belief that lie would be acceptable to the rebels. "The report of the capitulation of Chihuahua Is authentic." said Villa. "It came to me in. an official dispatch wnich said the city was evacuated on bunday. A rebel courier at once set out and rode 130 miles' northward, where he met the rebel advance guard. This was at Villa Ahumada, where we have established telegraphic communi cation. I have transmitted the details to General Carranza. the head of the revolutionists. "It is my purpose now to send a force to Intercept Mercado. who is fleeing o OJlnaga, and also to capture Orozco and Salazar. The main rebel body probably will concentrate at Chi liuahua preparatory to the advance soul h ward. We will be nearlng Mex ico City witnln a month. I0O.O0O la CoafWatea. Five hundred thousand dollars' worth of provisions and clothing and HvO.OoO from the Banco of llinero were con f. seated in Juarez by Villa to support t.'ie rebels. The property was taken t Trough the refusal of the merchants to accept paper money Issued by the rebels. The storekeepers, moat of them Spanish, appealed to the United fciatr) Consul, Edwards. and later closed their shop3 and handed over the keys to the Consul. Consul Edwards later returned the keys to the owners, saying he could not guarantee the safety of the property. Meantime the places were forced open and the goota and money taken. It was salU the properties were Insured In an English company against looting. POSTMASTERS ARE NAMED Eugene SI. Jonrdan Succeeds) Vice G. Macken at McCoy, Or. ORKGCXIAX NEWS BUREAU. Wash ington.

Complaint is made that a number of peddlers under the guise of farmers. are making the rounds of the residence districts and selling apples, potatoes. onions, cabbage and such articles to housewives, asserting that the produce is Just off the farm. It Is said that most of this Is second-grade fruit and vegetablea picked up on Front street at cheap prices. Two men dressed as farmers worked an East Side district last week, but as they had a license number on their wagon, their scheme waa detected. It' Is suggested that persons ap proached by such peddlers examine the wagon and see if a license number is attached. It would also be a good plan for prospective buyers of apples to Insist that the peddler open the sides of the box and not the top. If the boxes have a commission man's sign on them. It Is almost certain that the produce was bought on Front street. Legitimate dealera object to this peddling by fake farmers, because the produce sold Is nearly always Inferior, and It Injures the sale of good fruit and vegetables.
