CARBAJAL TAKES REFUGE IN VERA CRUZ
DECLARES HE DID HIS BEST TO AVOID FURTHER
BLOODSHED BUT THAT CONSTITUTIONALIST
ATTITUDE WAS IMPOSSIBLE.
By the Aetneinteil J'rett
Mexico City Auk. 13. when the Inhabi-
tants of the federal capital awakened this
morning the arsenals were empty the bar-
racks were deserted and the provisional
president of the republic aa well as tho
members of Ills cabinet had vanished.
President Carbajsl left the city on a spe-
cial train bound for Vera crui at 3:15 a. m.
Provisional President Carbajal left behlwi
him a manifesto to the nation saying that
he had done his bast in a provisional ca-
pacity to save the country from further
bloodshed but that bis peaceful- overtures
had been met on the part of the con
stitutionalists by uncompromising demands
for an unconditional surrenaer.
Hts Position Became Impossible.
Two paths lay before turn Carbajal said
to 'fight or accede to the constitutionalists.
Under such conditions the president claim
ni that his government could no longer
exist and he concluded:
"I leave the high Dost whlcb I have oc
cupied In -the belief that I have fuimied
my duly toward my country and entrusting
the lives and Interests In the capital to
the governor or the federal district.
"Tho whole responsibility for the futuro
rests with toe revolution and If we should
behold with affliction the repetition of the
situation which I am trying to put an end
to the truth will be manifested once more
that by violence society cannot be recon-
structed." Perfect quiet reigns throughout the city.
Preparations for the reception of the.
triumphant constitutionalist army In the
capital are titular way. A committer con
sisting of senators and deputies of the old
Madero congreat has been appointed to
nuaes have been reouesTed to
decorate and arrangementa have been made
for women to strew the pain or the incom-
ing army with flowers.
The departure of President Carbajal and
his cabinet caused no interruption in tha
normal lire or the capital but foe the rirst
time in Its history. Mexico finds itself with-
out legislative judicial or executive pow-
ers.
Barracks and Arsenals ("leaned. '
When the constitutionalists enter tbe city
they will find It without money arms or
ammunition. A visit to the barracks and
arsenals today showed that tbe- rooms
whlcb were stored with guna cartridges
and shells yesterday were empty.
The taking away of so much war material
by the federals Is causing tome uneasiness
here.
Although the destination of the rederal
army was carefully guarded. It Is believed
that Puebla City Is the point to which It is
proceeding. General Velaaco minister of
war will bead tbe retreating forces.
Senator Lujan former minister of the In-
terior is to make a hurried trip to Wash-
ington. The purpose of the Journey Is not
known. President Carbajal and hts other
associates will remain In vera Crui for the
nresent.
Reports of flgbtlng in tbe state or Oaxaca
between the followers or Felix Dlax and tha
lata President Madero for the control of the
local government Is causing some anxiety
Here oeanng rumors mm w swuiuif

of the north is located; Sonora Sinaloa

Villa will be at the hoad of this revolt
If It comes about and will have complete
control over all the forces put Into the
field attains! Carranxa. Carranaa officials
who have been In Kl Paso and along the
border for the past several days observing
the developments In northwestern Mexico
say that a conrilct seems almost Inevitable
but It will not be brought about by Car-
ranxa blmseir who wishes to avoid dis-
ruption among the constitutionalist forces.
These five states combined can place an
army of men in the field almost as large
as that of Carranza officials say. Ufrictai
reports to the border yesterday said that
Ucneral Francisco Villa has recrulled the
division of the north tu i strength of eO.Ouo
men without counting In the forces which
can be raised in the states of Sonora
Sinaloa. Durango and Zacatecas. Official
figures place Carranxa's strength at 7011
men. including all forces controlled by
oeneral Alvaro Obregon Pablo (jornales
and Jesus Carranxa and minor leaders in
central and southern Mexico.
Concessions Demanded by Villa.
The concessions demanded by Oeneral
Villa and the governors of the four other
states were named from Washington as
being tbe Immediate arrangement of tbe
agrarian problem tbe absolute retirement
of Carranxa arid other military executives

ARHIKTAS DEPOSE CARRAN.AH
CIVIL GOVERNOR IN DURANGO
The deposing of Pastor itoulx as Civil
governor of the slate of Durango was re-
ported In official messages received In El
Paso yesterday. Itoulx has been driven
from the state of Durango by the Arríela
brothers who control Ihe military element
In the stale and Is reported to have reached
Torreón where he has taken refuge with
the Villa forces. The Arríelas have prac
tically declared themselves Independent of
the Carranxa government and will seek to
lino themselves up with the division or
lie north commanded by General Villa.
.'Kb whom they have been In bad repute
since the battle or Torreón when they
rerused to obey villa's command to partic-
ipate in the' battle. Until now "they have
been eluding Villa at every -possible place
and ror a lime remained under tho pro
tection or Carranza and OetteHI Panfilo

Pastor Iloiilz has never been a strong
factor In Ihe state of Durango unci during
his term or orricc was completéis dom
Inated by the1 military forces under the
control of the Arrietas. For Ihe greater
part of Ihe lime the governor remained
out of the state and traveled with
ranza leaving one of the Arrleta brothers
as acting military governor or the slate
Itoulx was appointed governor by Gen

and Mariano Arrleta of Durango. Genei a
Villa yesterday proceeded to Nieves. Dur.
Tram Parral. Chili. for a conference with
Urblna who with all his troops Is camped
there. It is understood that Villa did not
look with favor upon tbe recent rnnrilct
between tbe Urblna and Arrleta fore at
Magistral near Maplml. and that ' ho wilt
give Urnlna to understand that such en-
counter most not occur In future. It Is
.said that Villa has rertiven word rroni the

Maderas Delay Trip smith.
A party or prominent Mexicans Includ-
ing members or the Madero family and of-
riclala of the constitutionalist government
have been planning to proceed to Chlbua-
hua by special train to confer with Oen-
eral villa but tbe annoulccment or his
departure for southern Chihuahua and
Durango has caused them to defer the trip.
From reliable sources 11 was learned yes-
terday that the recent battle between Ar
rleta' s and Urblns's forces resulted from
the execution bv urblna or certain envoys
Arrleta had sent to Villa. The envoys were
sent on a mission or peace. In retaliation
it Is said that the Arrietas caught four of
Urblna's prominent officers and put them
to death. Tbe battle occurred when a
large force or L'rblna's men accidentally
encountered a portion of the Arrleta bri-
gade at Magistral.
