San Jose, CAL, Nov. 23.--Hun-
dreds OF Mexicans and Americans
throughout the United States. and
particularly the Pacific coast, wait
today a signal from Mexican revolu-
tionary headquarters in st. Louis to
proceed to Mexico and join the in
surgents against President Diaz.
Lieutenant Manuel Salsedo and
Lieutenant Manuel Gonzales, who
have been in charge OF the recruiting
for the revolutionary army on the
Pacific coast, said today that 5000
men would be mustered in from the
coast states alone.
The officers arsived here from
Portland, Or, having worked their
way down the coast enrolling re-
cruits, Mexicans and Americans, for
the rebel army. Their work, they
say. is about completed, and the
men enlisted await word, in the
form of a general advertisement in
the newspapers of the country, to
proceed southward.
Salsedo and Gonzales addressed
large gatherings of railroad laborers
In the Mexican quarters here, and
afterwards passed around a scroll
pledging each Of the signers to start
for the boundary when the signal is
given.
Salsedo and Gonzales are graduates
OF the Nacionale School of Juris-
prudence in Mexico City. Both have
been exiled since 1904, and ever
since then, they admitted today, they
have been connected with the United
States junta, or governino body, OF
the revolutlonlsts, which, they said,
has headquarters in ST. Louis. at No.
1921 South Eighteenth street. They
are going about their work wearing
the ordinary attire of the Mexican
laborer, but appear plentifully sup
piled with money. They said they
began their work at Portland two
months ago, and will have finished
with their district as soon as they
have reached San Diego.
According to the speech delivered
at the Mexican gathering last night,
the three reyolutionists, Magon, VIII
lareal and Rivera, are now in Los
Angeles and are planning to go to
Mexico to act as lieutenants of the
rebel leader, Madero.
GaIgAAA daolarad that nanaral nar-
nardo Reyes, the exiled leader, who
Is supposed to be in Europe, but who
in reality is said to be secretly de-
Gliding the movements of the rebels,
has been in the United States for
more than six months. All of this
time, he said, Reyes and Madero were
engaged in perfecting the plans for
the pre- sent outbreak.
According to the two recruiting OF
flcers. CanpHea has been selected as
the first capital OF the provisional gov
ernment. Owing to its isolation, the
rebels believe that once captured. It
will be easily held, and railroad |
running into the United States will /
give them ample means of securing |
supplies and munitions of war, Sal
sedo said It was not the intention of
the rebels to lnjure Americans. but
In some cases American property |
would have to be confisoated
Salsedo and Gonzales told the
Mexloans here that the reyolutionists
were counting on the aid of the
Yauui Indians, Javier Guitemea. in
charge OF the junta at Nogalez and
Douglas. Ariz., has pledged himself to
take them over the border, they said,
aud failure TO make good on his part
would cost him his life.
According to salsedo and Coma
les, more than 5000 Mexicans already
have pledged themselves to aid In the
revolution. The signal for them to
move southwark will be the publica-
tlon In all the leading American
papers of telegram ''your friend is
very sick; hurry to his aid" or some
thing very similar to be agreed up
on later,
After two days spent in the vieini-
ty OF San Jose during which time
they interviewed more than 500 Mex
leans. salsedo and Gonzales left to-
day for Monterey, CAL. and vicinity
