WANT LANDS ON
 EASY PAYMENTS
Mexican Rebels in North Will Make Such Demand on HuertaICan- not stand Another
 Revolution.

El Paso, Tex, Feb. 20.-Before continuing the campaign in north ern Mexico, the rebels will make certain demands on the Huerta pro- visional government. The princi- pal request wihh be the immediate application of the land clause in the San Luis Potosi plan, as formed in the Madero revolution and later ac- cepted by all revolutionary ele- ments. Sale of public lands on easy payments will be asked.
 We will demand the fulflllment of the land grant clause before talk ing sides in the matter" said Man uel L. Lujan, former rebel emissary to Washington, who returned late today from the rebel camp below Juarez. He spoke for General Inez Salazar, rebel commander-in-chief, who controls more than 2,000 troops now in the field.
 Mexico cannot stand another revolution" declared Lujan. Tt would ruin the country. No matter how unsatisfactory. the present situ- ation may be, we will try to satisfy the popular demand by political, rather than armed strife.
 The return of Emilio Vasquez Gomez, who announced his claim to the provisional presidency before | ~ tn m aH Senor Lujan said Gomez was with Salazar. While the rebel chief had accepted the Gomez claim, an ad justment is hoped for in the event Huerta's cabinet gives guarantees that the public lands, particularly of Chihuahua states, would be dis tributed according to former prom ises of Madero. It was said a con- crete plan would be offered Huerta by rebel delegates, who will leave within a few days for Mexico City. On the trip to Salazars camp Lu- jan was accompanied by Attorney Manuel Garz Aldape, named today at Mexico City as minister of agri- culture. Aldape said he would de- liberate before accepting the of flee. Neither is it certain that Col. David De La Fuente, SalaZar's chief of staff and cabinet member, will accept the cabinet position offered by Huerta. A telegram was re- ceived today by SenoI Lujan from Rodolfo Reyes, son of the deceased general of that name, and Huerta cabinet member. Reyes assured the nothern revolutionists that their cause was in the minds of those in power at the national capi- tai. He asked that De La Fuente and Garz Aldape hasten to Mexico City to occupy their cabinet posi- tions. He said that General Raba- go, commander of the northern military zone, with headquarters at Chihuahua City, had received orders to suspend all hestilities against | the rebels.
 The name of Pascual Orozco, Jr., was affixed to a message congratu- lating Generals Diaz and Mondragon on their activity in the Mexico City revolt. General Huerta was not mentioned. The message was tele- graphed today to Mexico City. It was brought here by courier from a point 100 miles southwest of Juarez, where the missing gen. eral is reported by rebel agents as located. From other sources it is declared that Orozce, if living, is writing his correspondence from some hiding place in the United States.
 Attorney Garz Aldape left tonight for San Antonio, Tex, where he ex- poets to receive a direct communi- cation from General Huerta regard ing the cabinet offer. So far he has refused to commit himself in either accepting or refusing the po- sition.
