MEXICAN SI NATION.
Mexico City, Dec. 2. Mexico City
officialdom showed distinct signs of
panic today at reports that the fed
eral garrison of Chihuahua City had
evacuated the town without awaiting
the rebels' arrival and was scattering
toward the border and to the west
ward into the laauntalus, leaving
his followers almost into the out
skirts of the capital.
That Villa would loee no time la
pushing southward was accepted as
a foregone conclusion, and with Pre
sident Iluerta's troops here unpaid
and ln a state ot semi-revolt, It was
considered by no means certain that
any more effective resistance would
be made In Mexico City than In Chi
huahua. News of the summary exe
cution to which many of Villa's fed
eral prisoners have, been doomed did
nothing to cheer the perturbed of
ficials here.
The story of the collapse of resist
ance at Chihuahua City wsb, ot
courso not published in Mexico City,
nnd the masses of tho native popula
tion and the rank and fllo of the
troops had not heard It, but the of
ficial class, the well-to-do nnd the
foreign residents were fully In
formed. El Paso, Dec. 2. General Villa
seemed to be taking his time today
about occupying Chihuahua "city,
now deserted, according to all ac
counts, by its federal garrison, and
it was the general Impression that
he was ln communication with Gen
eral Carrunza with a view to effect
ing a concentration of all available
rebel force b there preparatory to an
advance on Mexico City.
Resides tho federals at Chihuahua
City, it was said, a largo part of tho
civilian population hud also started
overland for tho American border,
In preference to remaining to starve
In their own homes.
Reports were current thnt the fed
eral garrisons of Mazntlnn and Guny-
mns were also about to evacuate j
those towns, but they lacked confirm-1
atlon. j
It was said that a military court
would try Antonio Caballero of Cu-:
llamn, under arrest by General Cnr-j
rana's order nt Ilertuoslllo, charged!
with plotting a federal uprising,
ng'iinst the rebels In northern Mex-
co. I
The controversy between General
Villa and German Consul Weber, at :
Juarez, concerning General Castro,!
who had command of the federal gar-'
rlson there when Villa raptured tbej
town, did not prove to be a test after 1
oil.
Villa believil that Castro had tak-
en refuse with Weber, asked General'
Carrnnza for orders, and was In-.
Rtrwted to ask Weber to surrender .
mm. villa looked either for a re
fusal or compliance, but to his sur
prise the German's answer simply
was thnt he wns mistaken that
Cnsfro was not and had not been at

"Nor do I know where he ls hid
