When the Diaz rebellion broke out
Sunday he said we really did not
have sufficient troops to cope with the
situation. nor did we have ammunition.
I knew that in Cuernavaca we could
get plenty Of troops. In going there 7
had two ideas. first that if the national
muster sufficient men to crush him at
the arsenal, and, second should he have
taken the palace, I could call up 5000
or 10000 men if necessary from More
los and Chihuahua and il only would be
a matter Of time in that event.

public is said TO be an attempted ris-
ing at OaXaca. when the 18th battalion,
officially named the loyal battalion of

join in the previous Diaz revolt mu-
tined The trouble quickly was sup
pressed and Is men were executed.
