Causes Apprehension.

MEXICO CITY. March 13.-News from
northern districts which have not ac-
cepted the Huerta government contln-
ues TO cause apprehension here. The
junction OF the citizens and troops of the
state of Sinaloa with the constitutional
lists is regarded as OF considerable inn
portance. Reports OF the close affiia-
ton of the state of Sonora and Sinaloa
with Lower California and the territory
OF Tepic give foundation 10 a belief that
the two latter Will join in the movement.
On the other hand, the insurrectionary
movement under Carranza, governor OF
Coahuila, appears to be a thing OF the
past.
During the deba te on the amnesty bill
last night in the chamber a deputy from
Sonora declared that the rca son for Gov
ernor Maytorena's revolt in that state
was his fear that the new government
would demand an accounting OF the state
funds.
There has been no marked develop
ment In the negotiations between the
government and the brothers Zapata. but
promises OF co-opera ton by other lead
crs in the south continue.
