grams that the revolutions had, in

matory literature, with the arrest of
the men who will be given hear
ing here, trouble at JuareZ has been
averted.

Lomeli said:
''In view of the fact that instruc-
tions have been awaiting from

not think 1t proper to go into a de-
tailed account of the trouble. The
