dispatches relating entirely to revolu-
, tionary movements in the belt east
and west across the country from
Torreon to Tampico on the Gulf of

message from Jlarez indicating that
the situation there remains unchang-
ed; that discomfort seems to be on
the increase; that many persons are
departing into the United States and
that the railroad does not attempt to
run trains.
