Mex., May 2t.-A telegram was received today from General Felipe Angeles by H. Peres Abrcu, head of the constitutionalist Information bureau here, stating that Saltlllo was evacuated last night by the federals. The garrison of Saltlllo Is said to num ber 13,000 men under General Joaquin Maas. The town was believed to con tain large stores of ammunition and sup plies and If the report of the evacuation Is true. It Is probable that a large quan tlty of munitions of war will fall into the constitutionalists' hands. The only road of retreat open to the federals Is said to be south to Ban Luis Potosl. The 250 miles separating the two towns Is on arid desert, and It is believed here that but a small part of the federal garrison will be able U win Its way through to San Luis Potosl. A strong constitutionalist force, under com mand of General Carrera Torres, is be s'eging Ban Luis Potosl and between the towns a. large force under General LuIh Gutierrez, called the "Tiger of Concep clon Del Oro," Is waiting to cut off the federal retreat.

May 20.-(Vla Wire, less to San Diego, May 21.)-An army of 6.000 constitutionalists, having occupied Teplo with a loss of 400 killed and an unknown number of Casualties among the federals, has begun its advance on Guadalajara. In advance of the moving troops a flying squadron of cavalry Is , -working destruction to the Huerta Jnes of communication, Its main object being the crippling of the railroad from Man xanlllo - to Guadalajara. "Tfie capture of Teplc was -accomplished after a bloody struggle. , Although the lessor f the federals are uncertain, it is "known that 100 of them were taken pris oners. 3Inr.ntlnn In Panic. Mazatlan Is tn a state of panic today, Back of the city the constitutionalists aro closing in and the terror of their approach is augmented by the presence lr. their ranks of 700 Indians In war paint, whose excesses In the event of the city's fall, it Is feared, their white leaders will be unable to curb. More dismal to the contemplation of the average citizen, however, Is the pros l!ct of the sacking of the city by the federals when they arc" forced to re treat, as seems Inevitable. It Is tne gen eral belief that they will not give up Mazatlan to General Obregon without first wrecking the city. A new cause of apprehension to the Mexicans Is the ar rival of the cruiser South Dakota from Acapulco with its force of marines. This has been variously interpreted by the na tives, and the fear of an American seizure lias spread throughout the city. Communication Is Difficult. Radio communication, lias been found very difficult for the American fleet ever since It mobilized at Mazatlan. .Static .conditions are such that wireless oper ators are able to talk with San Diego, the nearest American point, only Intermitt ently, and then with difficulty. The same trouble har been experienced in com municating with vessels of the fleet at other Mexican ports. When the South Da kota, was at Acapulco, It found that odd. semi-circular harbor In such a statlo Jumble that for several days not a mes sage to the flagship could be transmitted. Patrick Balrd, an Englishman, who was wounded at the El Favor mine fight, was well enough to be able to leave Mazat lan today for San Francisco aboard a navy collier. Bo Not Destroy Property TAMPICO.

Before Senator Root began. Democratic leader Kern announced he expected to demand a vote on the bill at the con clusion of speeches set for May 27.

"Why did you personally favor the con solldatlon of trolley lines with the New Havon?" "Because consolidation would result n better service, lower rates and greater satisfaction to the public, I believe the public is better served by a monopoly ot transportation than tn any other way. I think, however, the monopoly should be controlled by the government." "What do you think railroads generally are doing about the matterT" "I know ot nothing a railroad can do now except take off Its hat to some gov ernment officials," "If Mr. Morgan had not died how far would you have gone In this dream of consolidation?"
