Vera Cruz, May 15—Word
comes from the City of Mex
ico that General fcapata, with
five thousand men at his back
is within ten miles of that place
and is advancing. His forces
are being steadily increased by
hose who are apposed to Hu
erta. It is understood that
hundreds of them leave the
City every night, and that an
attack is imminent. Mexico
City is not fortified to any ex
tent, and the general impres
sion here is that Huerta’s men
would desert him by the thou
sand if the enemy actually at
tacked them, as they realize
that he is booked for certain
defeat and-it is suicide for them
to stay under his*standard.
