which had little response outside Of
GuadalaJara, and IN that city included
very few outside Of the criminal class.
Very soon there was q reaction from

Personally Popular Leader.
Manuel CueSta GallardO has d per
: sOnal popularity with the masses that
/ is rarely attained by public men IN
/ Mexico, never having been spoiled by
wealth, and keeping in close sympathy
with popular movements If he can
! secure the necessary arms and ammu-
milton, he can put thousands Of men
in the field, many more than AaCero
can throw against him Unless he IS
crushed before he has time TO organize
/ his movement which is improbable, in
| view of the tOttering Of the MaderO
! regime. he is likely to be one OF the
| principal factors IN the overthrow OF
! MaderO, which the public here looks
upon as a foregone conclusion agents
/ Of Gen Felix Diaz are actively At work
/ here and it is known that many Of the
/ lower classes are disposed to Join his
movement u any rebel forces come
! near here. It is doubtful g they can
! start formidable outbreak in COlima
/ until the JaliscO rebellion comes near
/ er, and it is already moving this way
! and the Zapatistas in 1iichOacan are
| also invading the southern border CT

The State Unprotected.
This viii leave the state unprotected,
/ except for q few small bands Of raw
/ eCruits, who are almost as dangerous
/ as the rebels, and usually 90 over to
I the rebels or throw away their guns

I The only difference is that the lOOting
/ and rObbing and assassinating is being

j MaderO Breaks Faith.
The government has broken faith
/ with the rebel leaders, whom it per
/ suaded to lay down their arms On
/ promises Of immunity. having some
/ killed. ostensibly in drunken brawls,
/ but really by government agents. and
] quite q number who were following
! their usual vOcatiOns in their homes,
J are now in Jail. Their thousands Of
( former followers are very likely to rise
/ in protest against this violation Of their
I terms of parole.
There have been two small Skin
/ miShes in the CuIacan country re-
/ Gently with small rebel bands, one he

/ river. In every case the rebels were
/ troops There also were some brushes
l with rebels in the country east and
I south of MaZatlan.
Outrages on Women.
/ At Charuetla, near the mouth Of the
/ Rosario river the 10th assault on a
woman occurred last week, a young
/ woman being seized by armed ruffians
/ and dragged away from her cOmpan-
| ions, who tried to hold onto her She
/ struggled so violently that her assail-
ants were unable to make satisfactory
/ progress towards their rendezvous, and
I they shot her dead and left her. The
previous IS assaults were more sue
cessful, the victims being held by their
4 CaptOrS for Indefinite periods. So far
no punishment has caught up with the
criminals, VINO accomplished their fell
| designs in daylight in the villages and
( hamletS and have the people terror
/ lied. The government has no troops
to send against these small marGuding
bandits and the local authorities are
helpless.
CuIiacan Fears LOOters.
Culiacan, Sinaloa, Mex, Oct. 29-The
unrest and disaffectiOn of the passes
is again in evidence and rebel agents
are circulating Sed1uOuS propaganda
There are many JalisCO people in Sin
alOa who look on the uprising Of for
mer governor don Manuel CueSta Cal
lardo as the most serious menace to
MaderO's regime.
Up to this time the new governor has
not appreciated improved conditions, in
fact. the government has lost ground
since he came into power, and when the
regular soldiers, who are now conceal
Of the republic, disappear from the
scene, the state i'll hardly BE- allie TO
take care Of itself. in fact, twice before
the Y ithdrawaI of the federal troops
has been followed quickly by che cap
tUre and lOOting Of Cunec3l ana the
Overturning of all government in the
state. Outside of the larger towns
there is no safety of life and property
hold-ups on the highways and the loot
ing Of ranches and pueblOs being Of
frequent occurrence. Very few An'ri-
cans have returned to this section,
which accounts Tor the small number
OF cutrages against them.
Topic Ready For Revolt.
Topic, Mex, Oct z9--The OrOzcO re-
belliOn is again invading Topic, Cen
eraI" Francisco del TOrO now being in
the mountains on the Jalisco-Tepic
border with a considerable force. The
few regular troops in the territory have
been ordered to Guadalajara and only
few mutinous irregulars in whom the
public have no confidence viii be LEFT
to oppose this invasion which will
surely have many local adherents.
The local authorities are very appre-
hensive of another armed outbreak To-
( cally on the approach of the band of
/ OrOzquistas.
The news of the outbreak in IaIiscO
headed by ex-governor Manuel Cuesta
GallardO is looked upon as the death
kneu of the MaderO regime, JaliscO be-
/ ing VIGOROUSLY hostile to MaderO be-
