Daily secret conferences between all
the general officers in Juares, coupled
erals against the rebels, appears the
principal ground for the belief that the
revolt is really planned. Rebels are
all around Juarez: last night they held
yet the Federals made no move to 60
after them. In Sonora the same has
happened.
All the bigger towns are garrisoned,
yet the rebels operate with free hand
and are never followed except in rare
instances. Similar reports come from
all over Mexico EVERYWHERE the rebels
are operating unmolested and Federal
garrisons are scarcely raising a hand
against them. The troops sent from
Juarez to Aqua Prieta, Sonora were
only sent after an insistent demand
from the United States. Then they did

Federals Inactive.
Nowhere in northern Mexico Is there
any activity of the Federals. Gen.
Victorino Huerta, commanding the
mains in Juarez, banqueting and being
banqueted, while the rebels play around
the country east Of him as close as
forty miles. Gen. Antonio Rabago Is
comfortably garrisoning Casas Grandas.
while the rebels still hold the Mormon
colonies In the immediate vicinity and
are living in the homes Of the Mormons,

of the United States.
Gen. Sanjines was In Aqua Prieta two
days before he made a move against the
rebels, though they were scattered all
about him; Ell Tigre and Lacozaria
threatened. The climax of inactivity,
however, appears to be the Federal
troops along the South Pacific road
between Guaymas and Nogales.
Although Emilio Campo is operating
along that line and burned an entire
passenger train, no effort hos been
made to send federals from Nogales,
sonora. and an expedition which started
from the south in the direction of the
point where Campo burned the train,
soon went back to their starting point.
Superintendent Perkins, of the build
ings and bridges department OF the
Southern Pacific of Mexico, has arrived
from the south, after a trip on troop
train, hand-car and a-foot. He says
that a troinload of federal soldiers left
Magdalena, going north, and that they
sent the section men on a hand-car
ahead to protect them. They came as
far as the first burned bridge. parleyed
awhile, then bravely returned to Mag
dalena. On the train north they stopped
every little while when a whirl Of dust
was seen and then secuted around a
nttle, requiring the train to keep close
