RabagO, 1t is said, as many other
regular army commanders, would well
come the predicted break between the
provisional president and Gen. Diaz, who
appears to have retained the good will
Of the former soldiers Of his uncle, POp-
firiO Diaz, but unless Diaz breaks with
Huerta, RabagO prefers Huerta to the
rebels.
Three thousand federals from the
south are reported on their way to Chi

invading column is commanded by
Gen MungUia, and comes from the
