PLAN STRONGER CAMPAIGN.
Rumored Diaz Government Will With
draw Personal Guarantees.

Mexico, City, March 13.-That the
determination of the Diaz government
to avail itself of that provision of the
constitution permitting the withdraw
al of certain personal guarantees is
the first step in more vigorous and
drastic campaign to be waged against
the rebels is the opinion that found
expression in all circles of society
Sunday.
Revolutionists and sympathizers
with the cause of Madero and his fol-
lowers pretended not to be greatly
alarmed by this action of the govern
ment. but those loyal to the govern
ment and foreigners who have faith
in Gen. Diaz to restore order believed
that it Will prove most effective.
Monday the subcommittee to
which was referred the measure pro-
viding for the suspension for six
months OF the personal guarantees
will report to the permanent commits
sion of Congress- There is little doubt
that the measure will be passed un-
animouSly.
Since the measure provides that
those caught in the act of destroying
railroad property. interfering with tel
egraph lines and lines for the trans
mission of electrical energy. highway
robbery. and under certain conditions
of raiding haciendas may be shot
without trial. it is expected that it
will have deterrent effect not only
on the lawless element which has
taken advantage of the disturbed con-
ditions, but on the rebels themselves.
The government now has in its mill
tary prisons. a large number of rebel
prisoners, who had they been captured
after the adoption of this measure,
would have paid the penalty with
their lives. 1t is believed by the gov
eminent that with this knowledge of
the fate awaiting them, if captured.
there will be fewer recruits for the
