"HELL'S TO PAY"
State of Sonora Is in Open Revolt
 Against Huerta.

l
 cially announced it's intention to
 defy the government of Huerta,
 and hell's to pay.
 Governor PeSqueira, and his
 supports, Generals Gil, Obregon
 and Cabral, are rallying to the
 support of the state, every avail
 able man, including thousands of Indian Yaquis, who are said
 to be for the state government,
 which has promised them 2
 square deaP when the war is over.
 The state rebels will make their last sta nd at Hermosillo, the capital of Sonora, the Treasure State of Mexico," and hundreds of loyal citizens from all sections of Sonora are hurrying to the capital to cast their lot with Gov. Pesqueira.
 At Guaymas and Empalme there are supposed to be be- tween two and three thousand federal soldiers, who are pre- pairing to march against the cap. ital city, ninety miles from GuaymaS, where great pre- parations are being made by the Sonora rebels, who are fortify- ing themselves and placing can non and machine guns on the hills, in the cathedral, palace and elsewhere. It is said that foreign gunnerS are in charge of the big guns and the coming battle promises to be one long to be remembered by the people of Sonora.
 The state government has de- stroyed many bridge on the So- nora railroad, which with the telegraph line they control Two passenger and two freight trains are in possession of the rebels, who run them as far north as Quijano and as far south as To- rres. Five bridges between No gales and Quijano have been burned, and about fifty bridges south of Torres have been de- stroyed by the rebels, in order to delay the arrival of federals from the north and south.
 Colonel Juan Cabral is in charge of the rebel forces north from Hermosillo, with head USI dU M I1e says he will fight the Huerta govern ment to the last ditch. Yester- day Colonel Cabral telegraphed his old time friend, Colonel Kos terlitzky, commander of the fed eral forces stationed at this place, stating that the colonel's family were all well and safe ill Magdalena, where Colonel Ca bral would personally look after their welfare. While Col. Kos terlitzky and Col. Cabral are against each other in the pre- sent civil war, they are warm personal friends, and both will deeply regret the day they meet in battle.
 Superintendent Fred Krohn of the Nogales- Cananea branch of the Southern Pacific, who motored from Naco to Nogales yesterday afternoon, and return ed this morning, stated positive ly that everything at Naco and Cananea was quiet. The big camp is working as usual and every day big train loads of oil pass over the railroad to the big copper camp. At the present time, according to Supt. Krohn, the copper company has enough fuel on hand to run month.
 Colonel Kosterlitzky, con- mander of the federal forces in Nogales, Sonora, two hundred and ninety, all told, says he awaits orders from Mexico City to proceed against Colonel Ca bral, at Magdalena, or any other rebels.
 Nobody here appears to fear an attack on NogaleS, Sonora, reports to the contrary not with-standing, and life in this busy little border town, where there are several hundred vel come wealthy Mexican refugees from the state capital, is "One dam thing after another," busi- ness is good and everybody is happy.
 Yesterday the Mexican junta of Nogales, Arizona, made a purse of S1OO to pay for the war news from the front. The news will be sent from Guaymas via Galveston. If the fight lasts longer than one hundred dol lars worth, another purse will be deposited with the manager of the Western Union telegraph
