Mexico City, Nov. General
Treyino, recently retired from the

Mexico in a new revolutionary mani

The document was signed by Gau-

Orozco's army until he incurred Oroz-
co.'s displeasure by taking Emilio Vas

The manifesto dates from Puebla,
the day after the capture Of Felix
Diaz.

There were plenty who insisted that
