Naco by train, having marched overland

also went southwark by train. Troops
from other points are being gathered and
sent 10 Hermosllo. The Mexican gov
crnment officials undouhtedly believe that
the state capital is In imminent danger Of
being bescscd by the insurgents.
1t Is believed here that one OF the
revolutionary leaders, possibly Cabral
has moved southwark with large force
of men with the purpose OF menacing and
capturing the Sonora capital.
