COUNTRY IS STILL RICH Federal Authorities Expect Progress or Rebellion Will Be flower as It Moves Toward Mexican Capital. MEXICO CITT, Dee- SO-RefceU to ll? attacked Tamflra, the eeater of the U district, aeeerafna; te official ad- v-leea reeelred la Mexico City tonight. MEXICO CITT. lec. 20. Financial Impoverishment and an Increasing or ganization among scores of rebel Danas have reduced uie provisional govern ment to what appears to be a desperate situation, but conservative residents of the Federal capital profess to believe. In view of the recent military opera tions and the fact that Provisional President Huerta continues to secure money even though in small amounts, that the Government may not fall for many months unless some unexpected turn for the worse occurs. In all departments there was little delay In meeting the pay rolls. That the government may not be able to float another loan is conceded by Mexicans generally, but none has lost sight of the fact that the country Is rich and that General Huerta as a last resort would not hesitate to take money where he could find it. Cabinet Dlaenaaea Confiscation. Already the cabinet has discussed the confiscation of the property of all in dividuals who are known to have ar rayed themselves against the Huerta government. The measure has not yet received the full approval of the Min isters, but if adopted it will prove rich resource. Collections that fall little short of being forced have been made in cities outside the capital and fro .visional President Huerta's new order for the establishment of a militia at th. xiense of the business men gener ally in the various states is in line with 'his policy to draw directly, from the country the revenue necessary tor car rying on the war. The failure of General Francisco Villa to march south from Chihuahua because of his reluctance to leave the forces of General Salvador Mercado and General Pascual Orozco in his rear, the failure of the rebels to take Tara plco, the reoccupation of Torreon by government soldiers and the presence at Monterey of 5000 federal troops are looked on by military men as indica tions that the advance of the rebel army has been slowed, and that as their campaign is carried further into the heart of the republic their progress must be slower. Jtrh-rla Think Tantplc Easy. Rebel sympathizers here insist that Tamplco mill be easy prey for the reb els on the next attack and that after rapturing the port they may be ex pected to do one of two things either advance to the center of the countrj and attack San Luis Potosi or return northward and fight for the possession of Monterey. Military men believe the rebels ara unlikely to commit the tactical error of moving on San Luis Potosi and leaving the largest mobilized govern ment force in their rear at Monterey. The same military authorities do not believe that a successful attack on Monterey would be a simple task. At the War Office here it is not con ceded that the rebels would be able to take Tampico. defended as it is by 2000 or more federals in addition to the guns of the Mexican warships Bravo and Vera Crux. On the other hand, the rebels, it is known, can bring to the attack at least 3000 men and a few pieces of artillery. General Zapata's threats to enter Mexico City, while creating some anx iety, are not taken seriously by most people, who believe that he will obey General Carranza and wait until his forces are joined by men from the north. TO POCKET VILLA IS PLAN Federals Aim at Cnttlng Line of Communication. JCAREZ. Mei, Dec. 10. Advices were received today that the federal armv now at Ollnaga. on the border. will soon march west to cut General Francisco Villa's rebel army off at Chihuahua. At some point south of Juarez, it was said, the federal com manders plan to destroy the telegraph and railroad lines and thus leave Villa in a pocket. Villa has about 5000 men at Chi huahua. He has had to maintain a guard along 223 miles of railroad which connect him with the 1000 sol diers whom he left to garrison his base at Juarez. The information that the federals would attempt to crss and destroy the line of communica tion was in accord with the belief that the evacuation of Chihuahua by the federals two weeks ago was to lure Villa to a point where he might be surrounded. The federal column is to be com manded by General Tnez Salaxar. sup ported by General Pascual Orozco. The preparations for the departure from OJinaga were completed by taking across the border sufficient provisions for an extended march. It was given out at OJInaga that the federals after destroying the line between Juarea and Chihuahua would attack the latter city from the north, while federals from Torreon would attack it from the south. General Villa and his advisers ad here to the belief that the stay of the federals on the border has not been long enough to enable them to recover from their series of defeats and that the soldiers are without pay and un willing to fight Mormon church officials were alarmed over reports that General Sal axar Intended to extend his march into the Casas Grandes district and among the Mormon colonies with a view of destroying all houses, stores and farm machinery. Impressing non-combatants into the federal army and leaving that section barren of cattle, grain and feed that might be used by the rebels. The Mormons ask for protection. The Methodtst Church. South, which owns $100,000 worth of property in Chihuahua, has closed its doors since ViUa occupied that city.

Receiver for Importers of Frnlts Starts Action in New York and Dim. agen Are Asked. NEW TORK, Dec. 20. Charges that a lemon trust exists in New York and has maintained a lobby in Washington to reduce the tariff on lemons are made in a suit filed here today by William S. Armstrong, receiver for the Mercadante-Regan Company, importers of fruits. Armstrong seeks to recover damages from the Slcula American .Steamship Company, which; he says, . entered into an agreement in 1911 with the Fruit Importers' Union and other importers of lemons to add twopence. . English money, to the freight rate on every box of lemons brought here by the line. The Mercandante - Regan Company, which failed in 1912. was not a mem ber of the union or a party to the agreement. Armstrong relates, but was compelled to use the steamers of the Slcula American Company and pay th extra rate. The plaintiff alleges that this extra tax was to be used to lobby for a re. ductlon of the tariff on Italian lemons in opposition to the efforts of the Call tornia lemon growers, who wanted the tariff retained. ...
