the Bravo and Morelos. following the de-

was difficult to understand the attitude
OF the gunboats. Commodore Azueta,
commanding the warships still loyal to-
the government, kept his guns and search

Felix Dfaz continues to regard his

today declared that the officers and

his mind at the last moment before the
Dfaz movement was openly launched.
When asked why his shore batteries did
not fire on the federal warships General
Dtaz replied that this would be wholly
unnecessary. He felt that 1t would be
extremely foolish to disable the boats,
which he feels certain will enlist in his
cause shortly. He declared he daily sent
