Monterey, Mex, March 2O.-Gener-
al Geronimo Trevino today resigned
the governorship of the state of Nu-
evo Leon. He gave no explanation
for his action. The legislature of the
state will convene Monday to act on
his resignation. General Treyino's
loyalty to the constituted govern
ment of Mexico has never been doubt
ed. In the absence of other reasons
his resignation at this moment is
taken as indicating merely lack of
sympathy with Provisional President
Huerta.
The safety of this city from attacks
by the rebels has been assured by
the arrival of strong force Of fed

POSTMASTERS RESIGN
AS FAST AS THEY Can
FOURTH CLASS OFFICIALS DO
NOT CARE TO TAKE THE Ex-
AMlNATlONS

Washington, March 90. Because of
the extension Of the classified civil
service to include fourth class post
masters and the announcement that
postmaster of that class would be
subjected to competitive examina-
lion, the postoffce department. is re-
ceiving nearly 20 resignations a day.
Officials declare that about 1000
fourth class postmasters have resigned
since the executive order carrying
them into the civil service was is
sued.
Practically all of the designations
are in postoffices where the postmas-
ter's salary is merely nominal and
where at times the expense of con
Quoting the office equals the postmas-
ter's compensation In many Of the
cases it win be exceedingly difficult
to secure applicants who will take the
prescribed examinations While the
department is endeayoring to secure
new postmasters, the incumbents. al
though they have resigned, will be
forced to discharge the duties Of the
office.
