REBELS ENCOURAGED.
Proclamation Of Gomez Indicates
Revolution is Gaining.

FTOCtdWdtlOn OF 1OOeZ inOiCoteS
Revolution is Gaining.
Mexico City - Emilio Vasquez Go
mez' frank public declaration that he
will accept the provisional presidency
in case the rebels succeed in forcing
F. |. Madero from the national palace,
has gone far toward convincing unoffi-
cial residents of the capital that a
general rebellion is in progress.
Mexican officials, however, continue
to characterize as local disorders ev-
cry instruction in the country.
Although rebels are now operating
in Is states, the department of the in
terror continues to give out news de-
nying trouble in great part of these.
There was a fight at San Pedro, 80
miles from Torreon, in which 81 men
were killed, the majority said to have
been rebels, commanded by Jose Ar
gumedo.
Such information as is obtainable
from Torreon indicates that for con-
siderable distance to the East and as
far South and West as Durango, the
capital Of the same name, the region
is being raided almost at will by the
rebels. The government has denied
officially that Guerrero, in Chihuahua,
has fallen into the hands of rebels.
With the exception of the six South
ern states where Emiliano Zapata and
Jesus H. Salgado are stubbornly re-
sisting the army now waging war of
determination, and with some head
way, the region most seriously men
aced is that in the states of Coahuila
and Durango. Other states in which
rebels are operating are chihuahua,
Sinaloa, Zacatecas, San Luis Potosi,
Jadisco and Michoacan.
Far South in Tabasco and in the
state Of Vera Cruz there are bands
which appear to be closely connected
with the Zapatista movement.

Two years ago the vote in Hammond
