states all excuse LOT uSlllOllStiSi The legislature of the state of Morelos has appealed to the central government for troops, declaring that Zapataslta raids have been renewed there The appeal said that on Sunday haciendas were burned and that at the moment of the sending of the telegraphic re- quest for aid another was burning about two miles out of CuernaVaca.
 Opposition of the chamber of depu- ties to the resolution calling for the immediate holding of general elections resulted in the refusal of the minister of the interior to confirm or refute the statement that the country is still in a state of revolution. Mexico will reply to the note sent the government by the state department at Washing ton on September 15 last without delay. The American claims for damages growing out of the revolution will re ceiVe prompt attention. Incidentally several other matters pending between the two governments will not be per mitted to drag as in the past, ac- cOrding to the assurances given verbal ly to Ambassador Wilson today by President Huerta.
 Unofficially Wilson called the atten- tion of the new president to arious matters remaining unsettled between the two governments and urged that attention be given them not necessarily in accordance with the international law but on the basis of the friend ship existing between the two nations. It will be remembered that last Sep tember the state department at Wash ington forwarded a note to the Ma derO administration, the contents of which, while never made public, were generally understood to contain a sharp admonitiOn that Mexico give immedi ate attention to the demands of the Americans for indemnity by reason of the loss of life and property in there volution It is also alleged that it contained a demand for adequate pro lection of American interests. To this note no adequate reply was ever made, Mexico attempting to deny the truth of some of the allegations contained in it. and to justify it's past actions re garding others. This was followed by further representations from Washing ton which it is said did not require an answer"
 The matters which Wilson cited to- day it was assured would be given prompt attention. These were the Colo rado River controversy, and the dis pute over the ChamiZal boundary tract at Fl Paso.
 In answering the offer made by General Emiliano of the Diaz re gime, Zapata, the southern rebel | leader said he would recognize the new government if the program was along the promised progressive lines. 1 General Huerta the provisional pres | ident sent envoys today with this 1 assurance to insurgent chiefs in the
 states of Mexico, Guerrero and Nor l clos. Through his secretary, Huerta
 said the government would adopt
 such principles of the San Luis Pot
 si plan as revised in Tacubaya as
 were compatible General Aurelio Banquet. military commander of the
 federal district will probably be ap- pointed governor of the State of
 Mexico. General Joaquin Maas. it is
 understood will be slated for the governorship of the State of Vera | Cruz.
