Navy Department Will Keep

Return of Rebel Force,
J .
J (By tb International News Berries.)
1 Washington, P, C Dec, 20. The navy
; department baa determined to keetf all
X the warships at Tat.ipieo for the pro
El taction of foreigners In that city.
i The American vessel Chester and the
British crulseT Suftolk, which went to
2 Vera Cru, have been ordered back to
1 -Twnplco by their respective govern-
men M.
' 5 What navjr officials ay privately Is
S that it Is not to be expected that the
3 strong forces of the constitutionalists
2 which recently attacked Tamplco will
give up the struggle and that on the
jj contrary, Tamplco, so far as Huerta
5 and his rivals are concerned, is the key
! of the situation.
Humors of Hew Attack.
. - Admiral Fletcher, It la true, reported
7 In . dispatch dated 6 o'clock yesterday
at Tamplco', that conditions were nor-
me.1. The state department, however,
admits that it has "rumors" of the ro
ll newal of the attack on Tamplco and
3 that these "rumors" are not conflnci
5 to newspaper reports.
' The action of the navy department
i in sending back the Chester instead of
$ withdrawing one-half of the ships from
: Tamplco, as Intended a daw or two ago,
3 . ahowa that another and perhaps a more
2 serious situation is to develop.
fc One of the officials in fact says ttat
the world would not tolerate a repetl
tloa In Tamplco of what ' was done by
Villa, evidently wltb the approval of
$ Cexranxa, at Chihuahua
C ' . Conspiracy Is Denied.
B '' The Spanish ambassador in Washing
"' ton Claims to have clearly proven that
Villa had no Justification for his do
e xportation of Spanish subjects on the
trround that they were conspiring
- against the Mexicans.
g It Is pointed out that General Villa
told perhaps more than he intended tc
tell when he said that the Spanish were
Jg removed because of the fear of a "mat-
"acre." This shows, it Is claimed, to
g department officials as well as to oth
fe era that the army of Villa and Car
E ransa can not be controlled by their
5 leaders.
6 Both the White House and the state
3J department agree that no representa-
tions were made to this government by
Huerta that he would resign within 10
J days under certain conditions. It is
also denied that President Wilson or
the state department declined to con-
aider the offers of General Huerta, Most
officials here construe the original sug
S cestlon to Huerta by John Llnd as being
f one requiring Huerta to eliminate him-
self entirely from the Mexican govern
s mant unconditionally. ,

Unless Balance Sheet Can Be
Found Government's Fig
ures Cannot Be Verified.
6 an Francisco, Cal., Deo. 20. An Im
portant balance sheet hV been lost from
the records of the Western Fuel Co.,
and both the officers of the concern
and the government prosecutors, Matt
I. Sullivan and Theodore Roche, ar
searching the recorda to find the cov
eted page.
The sheet missing is ror ana
records all the details of the com-
puiy's business for triat year, as well
as 'showing the amount of coal on hand
at the beginning of the year. Without
this record one group of figures im
portant to the government's case can
not be verified.
David C. iNorcross, secretary of the
company, said today he has not seen
the paper since the books were se:.t to
W. H. Tldwell, special treasury agent,
several months ago. He did not know
whether the lost balance sheet was in
the documents sent to the federal grand
Jury upon the reoent court order. The
government had the sheet a during its
preliminary work.
Prosecutor Roche said that since the
documents were brought to the court
room they had been under lock and
guard constantly.

should the rebels bombard the city.
A fight to a finish is expected, as It
Is believed that Admiral Fletcher will
not interfere In any way this time,
nearly all the foreign residents having
been removed by the warships and aux
iliaries. Confiscation of the property of men
connected with the revolution is con
templated by Huerta, as a final means
of raising funds. The plan Is opposed
by Minister of Justice Gorostita, on le
gal grounds.
Runs on the banks have been checked
by the publication of a threat to have
recruiting officers impress into the
army either men or women found stand
ing around the banks.
The federal garrison at Guaymas Is
reported to be absolutely demoralized,
over 600 men already having deserted.
Even the commandant, General Pedro
OJeda, Is said to have made advances
for an amnesty. There are two gun
boats at Guaymas. These have held the
rebels In check.
Sir Lionel Carden, the brltish minis
ter, today held In his hands the life of
Jullano Real, a Jalisco rebel, who cap
tured and held for ransom Louis Balrd,
an Englishman, Carden decided to let
him die. Business men of Ameca paid
the ransom demanded for Balrd by
Real, and then the federals captured the
rebel with his wife and four children.
They were all brought to Mexico City
and Jailed. General Huerta ordered.
Real's execution and then asked Carden
if he desired to interfere. The minis
ter declined.
"Such crimes against foreigners are
too grave to go unpunished," Carden
said.

Huerta Said to Have Given Or
ders for Destruction of All
Property in North.
(By th International News Serrtee.)
El Paso, Tex., Dec. 20. Northern
Mexico is to be made a wilderness. Re
alixlng the impossibility of capturln
t;ie country from the rebels, Vlctorlano
Huerta has ordered the remnants of his
army, now at OJinnga, to begin action
of destruction that will make the states
of Chihuahua and Coahuila untenable
for Pancho Villa and his followers. Vll-
lanes are to be laid waste and farms
swept off the map. The campaign will
be similar to that waged several month
ago against Zapata In southern Mexico.
Particular attention is to be paid the
Mormon colonies in the vicinity of
Cases Grandes. Salazar has been chosen
bv Huerta. to command the column of
destruction that will march against the
Mormons. Two years ago, during tha
Ororco revolution, Salazar destroyed
much of the Mormons' property and
forced them to flee to the United State.
Balazar's orders, as learned here.Vare to
march from CUlnaga to Cases Grandes,
sweeping a path 20 miles wide for the
entire distance. Everything in this path
will be destroyed.
Will sTt Attack J oar a.
No. attack will be made on Juares at
the present time, the Idea simply being
to make the northern portion of the
state untenable.
While Salasar Is thus eqgagedj Pas
cual Orozco will proceed up the Conchos
river from OJlnaga, through Cuc"illlo
Parado, to Santa Rosalia, where a Junc
tion will be formed with Generals Ve
lado and Navarette from Torreon. The
combined armies then will attack ChU
huahua. Both armies witl destroy ev
erything posHlble on their marches to
Santa Rosalia
General Salvador Mercado, supreme
federal commander In Chihuahua, has
been ignored in the new campaign ard
has been recalled to Mexico City. H!s
action 1st evacuating Chihuahua City
and fleeing to the border Is responsible
for the order of recall.
Will Cut Railroads.
Salazar's march to the Mormon colon
ies is expected to start within the next
three days. He will follow tne Mexi
can side of the Rio Grande for a short
distance and then swing southward,
crossing the Mexican National at Villa
Huamada and the Mexican Central at
Casus Grandes. Both railroads will bo
destroyed, cutting the rebels off from
Juarez and Chihuahua.
Salazar la thoroughy familiar' with
the country of western Chihuahua. He
Is hated by the Mormons and his orders
to exterminate the colonies, burn all
houses, barns, stores and other build
ings are said to please him. All forage,
grain, food and other supplies net
needed by the column Is to be destroyed.
All men found in the path of the Sala
zar column are to be Impressed into the
service or shot and the, women and chil
dren left to shift for themselves. All
rebels found within the zone are to be
killed without trial an aU, known rebel
sympathizers are to be(raq:rested.

Washington, Dec. 20. President
Wilson will not hang up-hls stocking
on Christmas eve. Unless present
plans go awry, he will spend that night
on a train. Christmas day will be
spent in a cottage in the little hamlet
of Pass Chriatlan, Miss., on the shores
of the Oulf of Mexico. It Is the present
intention of the president and his
family to leave this city Tuesday night,
reaching the temporary capital about
9 o'clock on Christmas day. They will
stay there until Jan. 10.
The official reason assigned for the
election of Pass Christian, two days
journey from Washington, Is the de
sire of the president's physician that
he shall spend at least three weeks in
a warmer climate, so that be can shake
off the attack of grippe which has
prostrated him.
The president is not In good health,
but Dr. Grayson said tonight that rest
and a change of climate will restore
him.
It is expected that while In the
