The refugees from SinaIoa regret
they did not know Of this second call
of the BufOrd on her way north, as
those who were not actually in desti-
tute circumstances would have pre-
ferred TO remain in Mazatlan until the
return trip.
Two refugees from the interior went
aboard this morning, 16 more are to
arrive from Guadalajara by tOmOrrow's
train, which necessitates a two days
stop in this port.

No Outbreak Here.
Locally there has been no outbreak
yet, but the spirit Of unrest is creeping
in from the rebellious uprisings on all
sides and it is known that emissaries
from Zapata and OrOzcO come and go
at viii in COlima, and their propaganda
will certainly lead TO trouble at no dis
tant date. The Impression is quite gem
eral that MaderO is on the decline and
his fall is only question of a few
weeks or a month or two at most. The
people are all OppOrtunists and the same
zeal and alacrity that marked their

lost cause for a later idol that seems
to be gaining the ascendency.
The Buford is expected to sail from
here tomorrow afternoon for san Bias

bers of refugees are waiting for her.
Refugees from Mazatlan got their
last news from the United States in
The Herald OF April %. and they are
very eager for papers and reports Of
what is happening.
