REBELLiOUS MExiCANS ARE CIV
ING NEW GOVERNMENT
SERIOUS TROUBLE.
ANOTHER ARREST MADE
Alleged Leader of Crowd Which At.
tackled Party in Charge of Madsro
and Suarez Is in Custody-New
President Believes Danger Of Inter-
vention Is Just About Over.

Mexico City, Feb. 28.-Conditions in
the state of Sonora, where the authori-
ties have refused to adhere to the new
administration, were admitted at the
national palace tonight to be serious
1t was thought, however no resort to
arms would be needed to bring the re-
| calcitrants into line.
General Garcia Hidalgo solved to-
day at Aguas Calientes, capital Of the
state Of the same name, problem
which no one believed could be set
tied without the use of soldiers. AL
berto Fuentes D. the rebellious gov
ernor of the state, who had fortified
himself In the palace and had defied
General Hidalgo to remove him, sur
rendered at the last moment today,
and General Hidalgo took charge OF
the state government. This gives the
provisional government one more state
and materially strengthens its posi-
tion.
Former Governor Maytorena of the
state of Sonora is admitted to be in
possession of Aqua Prieta Nacozarl
and Fronteras, along the international
border and Governor Pasquiera. his
successor and personal friend, has for
titled himself in the palace at Hermo-
sillo and has surrounded the building
with artillery. To suppress this rebel.
lion the governments only avail q =
forces are a few regulars at the Orin,
but probably reinforcements will be
sent from Guardalajara to ManZa-
Milo and dispatched from there by
boat to the disturbed region.
Another Arrest.
The investigation by court officials
to determine the responsibility for the
killing of ex-President Madero and
ex-V Vice president Suarez resulted in
the arrest of Mariana Luque today, a
minor politician, who is charged with
being the leader of the attacking
party
President Huerta believes the danger
of intervention has disappeared.
That President Huerta does not un-
der-estimate the task he has under
taken is indicated by statement he
made, when Madero was overthroWn
that there was in the country not less
than 5000 rebels under arms, without
counting the numerous bandits, whose
numbers, he said, he could not esti-
mate. Many of the bandits and rebels
the president admitted today, still are
operating in Morelos, Mexico, Durango
Puebla, Tlaxicala and Chihuahua.
Stern Measures.
IT repeat" said President Huerta
that to bring about pacification OF
the country, which at this time Is
supreme necessity, 1 will use all the
| measures provided by law. 1t will be
absolutely necessary to use the power
granted under the suspension OF the
| guarantees in certain places"
| This measure gives the government
| the right summarily to execute per
sons for bearing arms or in any man
ner aiding rebels or bandits. The
execution of five Zapatista leaders II
the state of Morelos has served to IN
dictate the sternness with which tn
government will deal with rebels. bu
the burning of three more hacienda
! near Cuernavaca, with loss of nal
million pesos, is considered to be al
answer to the challenge of the gov
ernment by one defiant group.
The activity of this faction OF tn
zapatistas is not indicative, however
| of the attitude of all the rebels il
