NEW PRESIDENT IN MEXICO
Gonzales and Force of 5000 Men
Claim to Be at"

Gonzales and a Force of 5000 Men
Claim to BE at"
Observation-Disclosures received at
the state department Monday from
Aguas Calientes said that General
Pablo Gonzales, now at Pachucha with
a force of 5000 men, had declared him
self provisional president Of Mexico.
Gonzales, who was one Of the fore
most leaders of the constitutionalist
army In the campaign against Huerta
had been supposed to be unswervingly
loyal to Carranza. After the Aguas
Calientes convention, however, he dis
appeared southwark with his army
and his whereabouts has been more
or less of mystery.
The reports from Aguas Caliente,
threw little light upon the latest com
plication in the Mexican situation. l
Is not believed here that Gonzales
with his comparatively small force
will be able to interfere with the fol
ces of Provisional President Gutierre
and General Villa for the joint tr
umphal entry into Mexico City.
