to realize his ambitious dreams, and owing to
the scarcity Of funds there Is great suffering
among the soldiers and the people. such Is the
generalization among some OF the Indian
troops that during the Eve days they occupied
log their arms with them. The demands OF
Diaz have been 50 onerOus that many OF the
population have iisen up In arms against him,
