There is high hope that General
Vasquez will accept an offer of per-

Vasquez is not ambitious to become
president He is close personal friend
of Estrada, who has been furnishing
him with wine and camp luxuries. a
combination between Estrada and Vas

Mexico, it said, secretly favors Eel

Several little things have occurred

that the property was acquired by the
