ZURITA COMMANDS
SINALOA FEDERALS
Rebels Under Canedo Again
Active; MaderO Forces
Are Inadequate.

Culiacan, Sinaloa. Mexico, July 10
Gen. Zurita, of the federal army, took
over the military command of the
state yesterday from Col Gortari, who
had the temporary command since the
departure of Gen Delgado for Mexico
City. The people are showing very
little interest in the campaign for the
election of governor on August I
They understand the election VIII De
arranged in Mexico City and see no
use to modest themselves about it
This same spirit Of indifference is evil
Mazatlan, where many calls for meet
ing have failed to bring together a
quorum Gen. DelgadO contributed TO
the general merriment by telling q
reporter in Mexico City that he would
make the race for governor If Madero
would let him. Nearly all of the con-
serTative element desires him or some
other federal general to retain the d.
rection of affairs in the state, the most
pressing problems of government
promising to be of a military nature
The last organized band of rebels
in the south end of the state, led by
Juan Canedo. who acquired some pro-
gressive ideas during the course Of
year OF two as section hand in the
United States and returned here and
made himself a general in the cOun-
ter revolution. accepted their pardons
from the government this week,
thanks to a lot Of begging and plead
ing on the part of government ennis
saTies and prominent citizens. Canedo
led the band that looted Panuco twice
and did immense damage to the Amer
lean mining plant there. IN addltlon 70

overran and terrorized the whole south
end OF the state for several months
and committed all sorts of atrocities
on the noncombatants, both natives
and foreigners, but especially the ma
tives, and will now retire to private life
to enjoy the loot accumulated and the
great personal prestige of his exploits
among his hero WOrshiping country
men. Most of his men brought in a
machete or some piece Of old junk that
would pass to the government as
fighting tool, and the MauSer and Win
chester rifles which they sported dur
ing their raids are notable by their
absence, and the supposition is they

The break between Molina and the

Molina's refusal to do some Of the
things that the consul wished done

Mexico City and has had little direct

the consul or of president Madero's
personal ambassador, Mr.. Sommer-

still seen quite often around the con-
sulate.
Just More Spies.
Added to this number of secret po-
lice with no special functions and no
nerve, and the astounding patience of
the people Of FL PasO are 200 or more
former police, custom inspectors, gen.
darmes and detectives of the old Ma
derista regime in Juarez. Vague as
is the function of the consular secret
service, the purpose of this body of
federal pensioners is less defined.
They spend the greater part of their
time on the streets and hanging around
the consulate. for which they draw
salaries ranging from bean money to
81 gold per day.
There are also a number of special
workers in this field of Mexican es-
pionage. Two or more men are en-
ployed in Juarez constantly. For this
decidedly hazardous occupation they
receive IS per day. payable to them

TO OPERATE

MEXICAN WORK
UNSATISFACTORY

The San Antonio Express, of Thurs
day, says:
That president Madero is weary of
how some of the railways are being
operated in Mexico is apparent in the
ultimatum that has been delivered to
the Gran Liga, a brotherhood of Mex
lean railway employees, and whose
members have in a large extent re-
placed the American engineers and
conductors who quit their jobs in the
republic some few months ago The
Mexican executive has, it is said, i'm
pressed on some of the officers of that
organization that unless they can show
a great improvement at once in their
manner Of handling trains there is go
ing TO be another radical change by
which the Gran LiSa is likely to SUI
fer.
''At the suggestion of president Ma
dero overtureS have been made to GER
tain of the American railway employees
now in Chicago to return TO the repuo-
lie and again take UP their work as
individuals. Nothing has been said
relative to the unions or organize tons
to which the Americans belong except
that its members cannot return to
work in a body as union members In
that event it would be a repetition Of
the past, for all of the Americans en-
ployed on the Mexican roads received
employment as individuals and the or

"Just what action the former en-
ployes are going to take in the matter
remains to be seen One OF the rea-
sons for leaving the service of the
Mexican roads was because advances
in pay were refused, and then there
We're several other demands the Of
ficials declined to coneede. Since the
Mexicans have taken charge of trains
the officials of certain lines have had
trouble in getting trains through.
However. despite some Of the difficult
ties the trains on the main lines Of
some of the larger roads have been
held pretty well to the schedule. and
there have been no interruptions.
What apparently irritated the presi-
dent is the condition existing on some
of the branch lines Of these the mo-

remedy the situation. The Gran Liga
is expected to make good. and If its
members. in the more responsible po-
sitions of engineer an conductor. can
not do so they are going to be re-
placed. It is gossip that the president
while talking to some of the officers
Of the Gran Liga took occasion to tell
them If they were again replaced by
Americans they would have to accept
that condition, and II any attempts
were made to at all harass or annoy
the Americans the offenders would

under Gen. Sanjinez. The only reports
arriving are by couriers from Oaxaca,
as Sanjines has placed a strict CEN

still camped at Colonia Oaxaca, and
are idly waiting. Scouts of the Oppos-

Officials in Aqua Prieta are unable

which has been in the field betwe
Juarez and Chihuahua with the pur-
pose of blowing up the Mexican Cen
tral bridges. This crew is said to have
been organized in FL Paso by someone
in the employ Of the federal govern
ment Each man was to receive IS per
day for his time in the field, was
equipped with horses and rifles and
was to receive a bonus if the trip was
successful If not, a decent funeral
was promised where possible.
Alberto Madero, uncle of the Next
can president, is also said. to have
maintained little secret police Of his
own in FL Paso until he left for Los
Angeles. This squad was in command
of a husky named Rodriguez and acted
as a personal bodyguard for the Next
can presidents uncle and also as his
information bureau
In addition to the different bureaus,
confidential men and pussyfOot detec-
tives, the Mexican consul is said to
maintain a band Of y bodyguards at
the consulate and to have two at his
residence on Magoffin avenue.
Bribing Employees.
An interesting and rather ludicrous
detail of the spy system maintained
by the Mexican consul is the fact that
some of his men were also in the en-
ploy of the OrOZco rebels, and that
some of Orozcos trusted secret agents
were also taking money from LloFente,
so that each side knew about every
thing the other side was doing.
The consuIs men have not heSitated
to resort to bribery of employees in
FL Paso mercantile houses in order to
have their representatives in every de-
partment Of each suspected house. No
man having any dealings whatever
with the other side, or dealing in ma
terials that might be purchased for
ultimate distribution in rebel territory,
has been safe from this sort of crooked
spy work, and no employer has been
able to feel sure that he did not have

Who Pays the Bills.
Who is paying for the services OF
the women inspectors at the Stanton
street bridge who search the women
for the Mexican spies?
Col. E; z. Steeyer says he has moth
ing TO do with the searching process
to which each woman on the Juarez
cars is subjected at the Stanton street
bridge. Collector A L Sharpe says
that these inspectors are not connect
