A graphic story of the flight of Carranza and his followers from Mexico and of how the president fear lessly fought at the head of the gov ernment troopB in their last stand prior to fleeing into the mountains is told here by J. H. Durrell of the National City bank of New York, an eye-witness.

Alter a t.mnpstfinun iourney. during which his life and those of three Americans and one Jfinglisnman wiin constantly In danger, he arrived here yesterday. . In this party were W. A. Body. Brit ish vice-consul at Vera Cruz, and J. C. Pickering. J. A. McKee and M. M. Black, Americans. This is the story told by Mr. Durrell: Mexico City In Panic. With the approach of the rebel armies, Mexico..Clty was in a panic tt was with difficulty that tne gov ernment troops were able to round up Carranza's followers and get them to the trains, of which there were 27. Four of these, on which were 2000 fifrima soldiers and nearly all of the federal artillery and airplanes were caught by the rebels and did not ' crAt out of the cltv. "Our train. tha -23d, was the last to get away and at that the rebels were on our heels. : we naa oeen on the train all night and it was nearly noon of May 1 that we got away. We had no 'more than passed through the suburbs when the rebel forces came upon 'us, rode up along side the train and took the engineer off. We were unable to proceed. Just when things began to look black for us a student of the military school, who was In our car. which was occu pied mostly by women, children and civilians, opened fire on the rebels. He shot one in the neck. As the man fell from his horse, he -and his com rades returned the fire, seven bul-. lets splintering the woodwork and smashing the windows. "During the excitement the fire man, who was being held at bay be side the engine, jomped into the cab and before the rebels could prevent, the train was under way. A shower , of bullets accompanied us and one hit the military student who was leaning out . of the car window still firing. Rebels Cat Arrom Country. The rebels did not give up the fight, however. At this point the tracks curve around a mountain and by cutting across country on their horses, the rebels were able to fire upon us again. This time all the pas sengers crouched upon the floors of the cars and there were no fatalities. After a run of 20 miles we caught up with the line of trains ahead and from that time on there was trouble every day. At Rlnconada we were stopped again. Rebels were in pos session of the town and hadj fortified the hill overlooking the railroad tracks. They had torn up the rails . also. "It was at this place that I saw the most thrilling fighting of the trip. The battle -continued for two days. On the morning of the first day Car-1 ranza led his men successfully against the rebels, taking every point of van tage except the hill overlooking the trains. In this battle the president seemed to throw off his years. He jumped into the fray -with all the spirit of a young commander, seem ingly oblivious to the bullets and shells flyins around him. "On the morning of the second day General Murguia led the federal troops and took the town. I was told that 200 rebels were killed and 400 cap tured. "As we were about to. proceed, one of the captives revealed that further down the track mines had been plant ed and that the presidential train was to be blown up. Men were sent ahead and the explosives were dug up. After taking on water, we continued to San Andres." Pans Tkrootk I.lnra Obtained. "True to his prom'ise. Carranza the next day gave us a pass through the lines. There whs a civilian on the train who had his auto aboard. He expected to lose the car and we had little difficulty in making a deal to purchase it outright. It took us so long, however, to get the machine off the train that the fighting was re sumed before we were ready to at tempt to escape to Vera Cruz in the machine. "With a white flag held aloft, we started, intending to go straight ahead of the Carranza train. The reb els didn't seem interested in the flag of truce, however, and their bullets were so numerous that we were be ginning to give up the idea of the automobile trip when shells falling in the path of the car convinced us. We turned back. "When we got back to the train we found Carranza, Murguia. Barran gan and all of his soldiers had been persuaded also. They were preparing to run for it. Mounting their horses. Carranza and his followers fled to the moun tains, with the rebels close behind. We continued our way back and when we reached the last of the trains we again were fired upon by the rebels. Then we decided to take a chance and surrender. ."General Cerebino was the com mander of this outfit, and he offered us safe conduct for any place we chose to go. We spent several days among the rebels. "I believe Carranza could have es caped to Vera Cruz had he kept the trains moving instead of stopping to fight. However, I suppose he knew best. He and his men knew the moun tains so thoroughly they' probably thought this was their one best way out of danger." As Fillip to Introduction to Citv Author Is Taken on Aerial Trip; Panorama Liked.
