they fear quick execution If they con-
tinue opposition to the Huerta gov
eminent Madero troops in Sonora to-
day took the oath of allegiance to the
provisional government to make the
state of Sonora loyal. Three thous-

fed. These enemies of the old Diaz
government refuse to accept the new
Diaz government and all of them are
on the war path. A Mexican dispatch
says the work of recruiting the Mexi-
can army to 100000 men started by
President huerta today. Huerta plans
to make the government military de-
Ipository. If an Instruction is started
the state of Chinauhau has been call

each state will be required to furnish
its share.

manded payment ON the policy of

possible an effort will be made by the
company to collect the indemnity
from the Mexican government.
