Douglas, Arlz., Sept. 1S.-Rebe]
bands in northern Sonora are re
ported to be mobilizing at Colonia
Morelos, the Mormon settlement
which has been twice devasted by
the insurrectos. The rebel band OF
Antonio Rojas, which arrived at
Morelos Sunday, was joined there by
Salazar's rebels after they evacuated
Ell Tigre and today the insurrecto
force of Alanis, who has been operat-
ing south of Nacozari, merged with
the rebels at Morelos
Ten men sent out by Alanis ate
breakfast this morning at the Cuchu-
verachi ranch, % miles southeast of
Aqua Prieta.
They were apparently making for
the international line presumably to
smuggle across ammunition. The
foreman of the ranch Immediately
rode to the nearest telephone at San
Bernardino ranch and telephoned the
news to Douglas. The rebels are
reported to have large supply Of
ammunition cached in a canyon about
five miles from Ell Tigre, where a
heavy guard is maintained. After
holding communication with Colonel
Munoz and Colonel Obregon, COM
manding the federal forces at Ell
Tigre and Nacozari, respectively,
General Sanjines ordered preparation
for the sending of 500 men from the
Aqua Prieta garrison to the SOUTH
The combined force of rebels now at
Morelos is estimated at 100 men
and with the troops at Nacozari and
Ell Tigre, Sanjines expects to put as
many men into the field against the
rebels. The federal general declared
today that he would make an agres-
sive campaign against the combined
rebels now that the several strong
bands had combined, greatly increas'
ing the jeopardy of the American
mining towns in Sonora south OF here,
Great anxiety is felt here lest the
rebels again put out of commission
the Maori railroad, repairs to which
have nearly been completed.
New York, Sept. 1S.-General Emili-
ano Zapata, the rebel chieftain, who is
threatening to attack Mexico CITY,
gives his reasons for his uprising
against President Madero in a state
ment forwarded to the Herald from his
camp at Yautepec, Morelos. he says:
$50 that the people of the Unlted
States may know why the revolution
is going on against Madero, In south-
ern Mexico, make this statement
II charge Madero with making prom
ises to reduce taxes to induce tne
people to follow him against Diaz. he
has kept none of these promises.
charge him with promising to increase
the taxes on large estates SO that the
owners would have to cut them up
and thus give the poor man cnance
to buy a little farm. He has not kept
this promise.
81 charge Madero with ignoring the
man who helped him win, and with
nutting into places of trust at large
salaries, 73 of his relatives.
IT demand that Madero resign tne
presidency, that he and his family
leave the republic forever. This gov
eminent must not give them cent on
which to go. for the Madero family has
had enough of the government
az do not want the presidency but
do demand an honest election at which
7 will agree not to be a candidate. I'M
mediately on the election the laws
must he revised from top to bottom, SO
as to give the poor man chance.
