Federals Leaving Mexican Border.

New York Times 100 years ago today, May 1, 1913:
Huerta's Forces Will To-day Evacuate Juarez, Their Most Important Post.
AMERICAN REPORTED SLAIN
Mining Man Said to Have Been Victim of Rebels, Together with Other Foreigners.
    EL PASO, Texas, April 30.— Federal forces are to evacuate Juarez, opposite this point, the most important port of entry on the border, and terminus of the Mexican Central Railway. Orders to hasten to Chihuahua City, the State capital, were received late to-day by Col. Juan N. Vasquez, the Juarez garrison commander.
    The projected movement is in keeping with the general order issued some days ago, that all Federal forces in the State mobilize at Chihuahua City, threatened by attack from the south. Already the Constitutionalists are pressing close to Juarez from the territory along the Rio Grande to the east.
    The movement to the State capital will be hastened by to-day's desertions from the Juarez garrison to the insurgents. Empty military trains arrived to-day at Juarez from Chihuahua City to convey the border town's garrison of 500 men to the State capital.
    The Federals at Parral, the American mining centre southwest of Chihuahua City, were also ordered to move to the State capital, but have been unable to do so, owing to the almost complete destruction of the railways.
    For several days Gen. Antonio Rabago, military Governor of the State and commander of the northern military zone, has been accumulating food and ammunition supplies at the State capital, preparatory to the general mobilization.
    The Constitutionalists have recaptured Jiminez, an important junction point on the Mexican Central; they still retain Santa Rosalie, and their troops stretch south from a point near Parral northward to Bachimba, thirty miles south of the city of Chihuahua. They have prevented the Federals at Parral thus far from advancing toward the relief of Chihuahua City.

Special to The New York Times.
    WASHINGTON, April 30.— Consul Bonney at San Luis Potosi, Mexico, reported to the State Department to-day that Matehuala had been captured by the rebels, and that a British mine manager and several others had been killed.
    No details were given beyond this statement.
    The State Department has received no confirmation of the reported killing of William A. Dingwall, a citizen of the United States, in the City of Mexico.
    The Department also has a dispatch outlining a plan announced in a proclamation at Piedras Negras by Gov. Carranza for enforcing a loan of 5,000,000 pesos (about $2,500,000). To effect this loan, Carranza says that he will issue and force the circulation of paper money to the amount named, and that the money will be guaranteed by the Constitutionalist Government.
    Persons who refuse to receive or circulate this proposed money will do so at the peril of a month's imprisonment for the first offense and six months for the second offense. Those who take the new money at a discount will also suffer imprisonment.
    Carranza promises that when constitutional order is restored laws shall be passed that will provide a way to redeem the paper money and fix a date for its redemption. The majority of the merchants at Ciudad Porfirio Diaz and Piedras Negras are foreigners, and the prospect has created much alarm among them.
