Further trouble Is expected at

from Vera Cruz and this city.
"That the revolutionists are plan.

BILE away from Mexico City by max.
ing attacks on many of the smaller
towns is the belief of the authorities.
II the rebels can accomplish this,
they rope then to be able TO over
come the troops remaining here and
take the city for their own.
"In the same way 1t Is believed
that the revolutionists and revolution
airy sympathizers are now leaving
here as rapidly as possible, seeking
to join their fellow rebels under
arms in various parts of the country.
BY so doing they hope not only to
strengthen their own forces, but to
lessen the number of defenders OF
the city as we'll These views are
held b! some Of the leading military
authorities of the city.
Messages from Zacatecas, which
has been noted in times past as the
birthplace of many plots and in
trigues against the government, re-
port everything quiet. The city is
said TO be well provided with troops
and state police, so that the fear OF
success In the revolt there Is greatly
reduced. Information from several
source IS was received that all Is per
fectly quiet there, said the minister
OF war. He gave out the following
information in regard to the trouble
which had occurred In that region:
"a group of 30 revolutionists
came down from the mountains OF
the state OF Puebla and attacked the
market at Rio Blanca, where there
was large number of workmen
making their purchases. The rebels
soon cleaned out the booths and then
began to incite the workmon TO Join
them ia the revolution. They tell me
that not a single workman Joined
the bandits, which goes to prove that
the workmen are not in sympathy
with 'he revolutionary movement. A
few minutes later a detachment =.
the battery stationed at the factory
of Rio Blanco, about kilometer dis.
tant, arrived and soon routed the
crowd. There was one soldier killed
and one wounded The federal force,
augmented by a few mounted police,
went after the revolutionists, who
were making their way toward the
state Of Puebla.
"'The minister of war, when ques-
toned in regard to the rumors of up
risings in Guerrero and Zacatecas,
replied that there was no truth in
the report at all and that the rumors
of the supposed riot among the fed.
eral troops in Guadalajara were
equally false.
"'When General Gonzales Cosio
was questioned in regard to the al
legged execution of prisoners in Santa
Fe and La Piedad, near this city. he
replied that not one of the prisoners
captured in the recent troubles had
been executed, nor were they in dan
ger Of being executed unless they
should be sentenced by the courts af-
ter the full course Of the law had
been taken"
