The Carran- za agency, here. ;today published thd following telegram. received from the Carranza representatives at Galves ton: "Semi-official reports here, not con firmed,, say that due, to laok of com munications the Villa forces are evacuating Mexico, City. It is be lieved they are doing this on account of the crying .need of forces in the north and to save communication to prevent Torreon, Chihauhau and Jau- rez being captured. Villa would pre fer to engage in battle outside of the capital with Carranza's army of one hundred thousand lying between here and Mexico City. "Eulalo Gutierrez through a com mission, has authorized Antonio 1. Villareal, as president extinct of the Aguas Callientes convention, to accept his resignation as Provisional Presi dent and notify Carranza his service will be at. his orders as first chief. The whereabouts of Gutierrez are not de murely Known but U is helmveu lie is making his way toward Sail Luis Po- tosi. "It was officially reported to the war department that half of the Torreon garrison, which is enveloped by loyal forces, has revolted and is fighting the other half in the name of Carranza." General Villa's forces have suspend ed the attack on Ebano, near Tampieo, and have concentrated for attack on tho seaport of Tuxpan, where light ing is in progress today, according to State Department advices. Carranza reports that Guiterrez has resigned are contradicted by dis patches to the State Department from the Brazilian minister, who confer red with Gutierrez yesterday. Dis patches show that friction is apparent between Zapata and -Guiterrez-Villa ! factions.

Congress men were returning to Washington , today from their holiday recess to resume work Tuesday and Democratic leaders were determined to expedi dite the passage of all necessary leg-, lation to avoid an extra session after March 4. Practically all of the real work of the session is yet to be accomplished. In the houe progress has begun to be made in clearing up appropria tion bills and a few general measures. the entire administration legislative program remains to be disposed of. There the immigration bill is the un finished business with tho outlook for a continuation of the fifrht against the measure because of the literacy test provision. President Wilson is opposed to th literacy test and Senator Lewis of Illinois has announced his intention to offer an amendment to eliminat the provision. Democratic and Re publican senators who favor th, measure believe that if such an amend ment were adopted it would cans the bill's defeat. - The supply measures have th right of way and il is probable th immigration bill will lie displaced early in the week by the District appropriation bill. The goxcrnmcnt ship purchase bill r.lso is pending in t he Senate. In the House it is not believed much real progress will be made this week because ol' the outlook for lack of a quorum until after Xew Year's. The postoffiee appropriation bill i pending with general debate on it' completed, and it now awaits reading for amendment. With that measure disposed of. the Indian, the legisla tive, executive and judicial and th rivers and harbors bills will be taken committee of tlx House Naval Com- mittee will resiimc consideration of the naval appropriation bill.
