Tox., Nov. lB.-Cludad Juarez, the most Important northern port of entry In Mexico, was captured by con stltutionallBta under Generals Pancho Villa and Maclovlo Ilerrera early this mornlnic with small loss on either side. The occupation of Juarez by rebels began at 2:S0 o'clock, after tho men under Villa and ilerrera had reached tho town In trains thought to be carrying federal soldiers to the garrison. The rebels de trained, undiscovered, placed their artil lery and had everything In readiness to battle before the word was given to flro on the federal garrison. At the first vol ley the astounded government troops were nucembled and returned the fire, engag ing In a battle which lasted two hours. Bullots foil thick in Kl Paso and all the residents here were awakened by the sound of heavy artillery firing. Amer icans were kept from the danger zone y the detachment 6f the United States Fifteenth cavalry on patrol duty here unded Major Mltchlc. The formal surrender of the city to the constitutionalists was at S o'clock, when the federal commander threw himself and his soldiers upon the mercy of the vic torious rebels. Immediately bands began playing on tho streets and the town rang with "Vivas" for the conquerors. Surprise Is Complete. It was by one of the cleverest strategies In the history of Mexico that Juarez was taken. General Villa, with General Iler rera; wcro at Chihuahua City, Thursday, reported to be attacking that town. Fed eral troops were rushed to the reinforce maX of the. Chihuahua, garrison, but vijl never Mallr PUbe4 his attack there..

Mexico . leileTed him td be ex erting every energy to take the town of ChlhUahua. 'Uo&Tlng a email force of men tiiere, he took more 'than 800 of hi troops on bdard trains which reached Juarez at tho time a federal troops train was expected. Not once was he challenged by federals, who little dreamed that rebels were within a hundred miles or more. Under cover of darkness the rebels sur rounded the town on all sides savo the river frpntf that next to the American border and a concerted attack was made with the artillery dolr.g much of the work. The federals were so completely demoralised by the suddenness and un expectedness of tho attack that tbey of fered no serious resistance. Colonel Cauo, spokesman for the rebels, told the Associated Press this morning that he bad no Idea of. the number killed or wounded on cither sides, and this could be detennlned only after daylight. He said he did not believe the loss was heavy on either Bides. It was reported, through unverified, that General Francisco Castro, commanding the federal garrison, l)ad been killed. One American Killed. One American was killed during the fighting in Juarez, according to reports lecelv'ed here at S o'clock. Charles Sergorson, an automobile man of Kl Paso, was killed In his oar. Fighting was resumed at 7 o'clock near tho Juarez race track and for half an hour fleeing federals engaged constitu tionalists who were pursuing them. Early today General Francisco Castro, commander of tho federal garrison at Juarez, was missing. Despite the earlier report that he had been shot, he was not found among the dead or wounded and rebels expressed the belief that he had escaped -from the city. Major Cervero Maresa, commanding the constitutionalist detachment guarding the international bridge, placed the total num ber killed In Juarez at twenty-ono, seven teen federals and four constitutionalists. Three thousand constitutionalist troops participated In the capture. A troop train was made ready early today to be sent to Sauz to bring in the S.00O or more con stitutionalists who stopped there.

DICTATOR REFUSES FURTHER PARLEYS WITHUNJTEU Statement from Mexican Palace Says There Will Be No Mediation or Alliance with America, CALLS CARRANZA A PATRIOT Says He Will Follow Example Set by- Constitutionalist. COUNTER ORDER IS PROBABLE Belief in Washington that State ment is a Blnff. POSITION OF THE UNITED STATES Mediation Has Not Dren Offered to Either Faction Capture of Junrrs Expected to Be Fea ture In Settlement. MEXICO CITT, Nov. 15.-"In view of Venustlano Carranza's repudiation of any form of mediation by or alliance with the United States, Provlal6nal President Huerta can do no less than Join him In his expression of patriotic sentiment and maintain unaltered his dignified attltudo toward Washington." Tills statement made at the national palace today appears to cast extreme doubt on an renewal of the negotiations between Mexico and the Unltod States, according to the view taken by well In formed persons here. They declare that it tends to substantiate the belief that no hope is left of an amicable adjust ment. No Indication had been given at the American embassy up to 10 o'clock this morning that Genoral Huerta had mani fested any desire to accede to tho Amer ican domands relative to tho Mexican con gress on which it was reportodtho time limit was to expire nt noon today. Nelson O'Shaughnewiy, tho Aipcrlcan charge d'affaires, denied, however, that any tlmo limit had been fixed. Thoro was every indication tho newly elected Mexican congressmen would meet for purposes of organization at the hour specified, although rumors wcro current that a counter order would txJ Issued by the provisional president at the last mo ment. Qoneral Huerta Is taW to be yet un convinced of the advisability of resigning and It is suggested here that Venustlano Carranza's refusal of the propositions made to him by William Bayard Hale, personal representative pf President Wil son," ill's had tho effect ot bojaterlpg him up In his doflance. At the national palace the attitude of the United States' charactertzed.fts In dicative of afjiratfleninjp'people ahciUpvday many Mexicans reverted to their tra ditional declaration that any Interference in their affairs by a foreign government would be met by the united Mexican people. Pessimism was frankly In evidence at tho American embassy, where until yes terday considerable optimism had been shown. Mediation Xut Offered. WASHINGTON, Nov. 15,-The statement from Provisional President Huerta that he Joined General Carranza in repudiating mediation in any form by the United States was read to Secietary Bryan, but he made no comment. .White house offi cials likewise were informed, but were equally reticent. The position that has hitherto been taken taken on the repudiation by Car ranza Is that this government neither of fered nor Intended to offer mediation. The Washington administration has main tained merely that it cannot recognlzo legal or have any International relations with the government at Mexico City and has repeatedly pointed out as the solo pre-requlsltc to American recognition the elimination of Huerta. Carranza has merely been asked for insurances that If the embargo on arms were lifted lie would give protection to foreigners and their' interests. X'resanre from firent Ilrltnln. The fact that Sir Lionel Carden. Ish minister to Mexico, Is communicating to Huerta Intimations of a strong char- acter that he must eliminate himself In accordance with the American contention Is said to bo the development on which the situation has turned within the last two days. Refusal to resign or prevent the new congress from complicating tho situation by giving oil concessions this; government would consider Illegal might mean that the American government would go forward in its policy of morally supporting the constitutionalists. The capture of Juarez by constitution alists, an Important port through which munitions of war might be passed for a vigorous campaign on Chihuahua -and the large cities to the south, Is expected to have considerable effect In Mexico City. The capture of Juarez by Madero In his rebellion against Porforlo Diaz was the turning point whicli brought the Diaz re gime to terms and forced the flight of the president. President Wilson went to the golf links today and Secretary Bryan came to the State department early to await dis patches from the Mexican capital.

Identified the overturned vessel in Lake Huron, thirteen miles northeast ot this port as the Charles 8. Price of Cleveland. The Price Is fold to have carried a crow of twenty-eight. All of the crew are believed to havo been lost. Until today all efforts to Identify the derelict had been In rain and there were many conjetures as to her name. The general opinion, however, was that It would be found to be either the Price or the Reglna. It Is still thought the wrecking of the Price and Reglna must have been in the same locality. The diver, however, found no evidence of another submerged vessel beside tho Price. Tho opinion that the two-steamers went down near each other Is borne out by the fact that a body from the Price was found wearing a Rcgina life belt.

David Starr Jordan, chancellor of Stanford university, during a lecturo today ut the Blrkbeck Institute under tlvo auspices of the education com mittee ot the londou county council, compared American and British universi ties' methods greatly to the detriment of tho latter. The British practice of examination, he dealared, Is a farce, because there Is no relation between examination and higher education. "The essence of scholarship' he said, "Is to know what to do in life. Therufore, the baslo lda of American universities Is to give man and woman tho opportunity of making the most of their powers." Chancellor Jordan denounced the idea prevalent in Europe that university de grees could be purchased in the I'nlteU States.
