tack on a train between this city and
Cuernavaca three days ago, as we'll as
other attacks of bandltry, not only in the
south, but also in the north, it was

the law will affect are the states of
chihuahua and Sonora, the northern part
of the state of Durango and a part of
CoahIila in the north, the states of More
los and Guerrero and parts of Mexico,
Puebla and TlaXcala, in the south The
law will be similar to that which has
previously been in force and will amount
to placing the disturbed portions of the
country under martial law. This action of
the cabinet has caused much comment in
the capital, and it was admitted by
high official of the government tonight
that many acts of outlawry has taken
place in the north and on the west coast,
which had surpassed anything that had
reached the public through the press. 1t
