OrozcO Promises Allegiance.
Colonel Pascual Orozco. ST., Is known
to have been for a long time under the
domination of Pascual Orozco, Jr, and
telegram sent by the latter to-day
to General Felix DiaZ promising abso-
lutte allegiance to the government is
regarded as indicative of his fathers
attitude.
II all the leaders of Orozco's army
follow the example OF their leader. 1t
is practically certain that the Carran-
"a movement VIII dwindlc away, lcav-
ing the government only the Zapatista
problem to deal with.
In the capital rumors of plots and
counter plots continue, but President
lluerta appears to have an excellent
grip on affairs and to be working i'm
complete harmony with General Felix
Diaz, who desires to re- establish peace
as much. or more. than any one. as
he is preparing for his campaign for
the presidency in the general cleo
tions. Friends of Diaz met this after
noon and formally launched his candi-
dacy.
The departure OF Ernesto Madero
former Minister OF Finance. was fol-
lowed by hurried counting OF the
cash In the government treasury. The
result showed balance of $4,000.
Various deposits in local and foreign
banks, however, now arc at the dis
posal of the government.
