THE HUERTA RULE is DOOMED
So Writes a Resident Of Sonora, with
Warning for Us Thrown In.

TO the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: The rebellion is spreading after the
fashion Of a prairie fire. despite reports
of well informed Americans TO the con-
trary In proof Of this | may state that
deserters are coming in daily and among
them is Ambrosio Fisueroa, former chief
of rurales. and his immediate command
of 900 sabres in Guerrero.

regicide cannot number 5000 bayonets
and sabres, and any movement of troops
from the federal district or from the
region further south would cause the
Diaz faction 10 spring to arms, threaten
the palace and bring Emiliano Zapata 10
the gates of the capital.
Already the regicides are menacing one
another. and were il not for the menace
from the north and south they would go

de Kilkeni dhe Kilkenny CATS. and fight
until nothing was left but their tails.
Meantime Carranza and his braves are
sweeping all before them. and soon they
will thunder AT the portals of the palace.
