REBEL COMMANDER
Paredon, Mexico, May 22.—Fol
lowing up his victory of yesterday
morning by a rapid advance by rail,
Gen. Francisco Villa captured Saltillo
this morning after a three hours fight.
General Maas, formerly in com
mand at Vera Cruz, who withdrew to
Saltillo when the former place was
seized by the American navy, escaped
with most of his command, but was
forced to abandon his provisions and
ammunition.
The federals put up little or no re
sistance, as the officers were fearful
of being captured and executed as
were the 34 officers captured at this
place. Villa allowed several federal
soldiers taken here to witness the exe
cution and then set them free to carry
word to Saltillo that the same fate
awaited Maas and his staff.

A resolution drawn up by the com
mittee named at Monday night s mass
meeting was presented by Dr. Daggett,
which asked the club to tix its dues at
yJ per month or $2d per year it paid in
advance, and hold the annual election
of officers at once. The dub was also
asked to hold meetings at a specified
time and place at least once a month.
Some objection was made by Attor
ney Mot*ford and Sydney Anderson to
the low dues, and a motion was made
by Frank (’otter to increase the amount
j 10 $5. Those in favor of the $2 fee, in
i eluding Dr. Daggett, Derick Lane,
George Sexton and others explained
| that a club with 50 or 00 aiembers at
$2 would be better than one with 20 at
! $5, also that high dues would bar many
; who had a patriotic interest in the

raising the dues to &*> was withdrawn

that as special assessments would be
necessary anyway to support extensive
