SAN Francisco, December 20-A dis
patch from Tuscan says: ''On the author
ity OF well Informed gentlemen from
Guaymas, we learn that the people of
Sonora are in destitute condition from
the interference of the recent revolution
sry troubles with the agricultural pur-
suits, aud that the people are outspoken
in favor of revolution. These gentle
men say 800 disciplined troops could
march successfully through the country,
despite the State troops. The
Mexican Federal authorities are entirely
neutral in the contest now going on,
though they recognized the elections last
summer as legal. The Pretect of Guoy-
mas informed them that if battle
should occur between the State troops
and the revoIutionists, the Federal force
there would take no part.
They describe the country as an easy
routc.to Tor II railway.
