Revolt Outlook Skeptical Of Huerta Moves Near Mexico City
Bleeding reports from Juarez Mexico December 6 indicate rebel leaders fear Huerta plans harsh moves as Villa advances toward Mexico City. Federals reportedly evacuate Chihuahua City and other posts to reinforce central and southern fronts while Villa weighs massing 2000 plus attackers for a decisive push. Observers warn the shifting balance could force federals into aggressive defense as rebels gain territory. On the border a bullion train moves toward the U.S. with about 2.5 million dollars from Parral mines, while nearby lines report federal officers and troops retreating toward safety. Francisco Escudero, secretary of foreign affairs in the constitutionalist cabinet, has been retired from his portfolio and will be replaced.
