Huerta followers is imminent and its
capture by the constitutionalist generals
within two weeks is foregone conclu-
sion. according to close friends Of the
revolutionary cause here, who since May

would be no mediation or compromise on
the internal affairs of Mexico.
Three armies. they point out. are ready
to converge against the Mexican capital

Obregon and Gen. Francisco Villa.
With the capture of Guadalajara by
Obregon. which is the second largest city
in Mexico. a big cartridge and arms fac
tory has fallen into the hands of the
constitutionalists. and their progress to
Quaretaro through Guanajuato is facili-
tated by a good railroad and fertile
country to provision the forces.
Meanwhile Gen. Gonzales is advancing
against San Luis Potosi. which is ex-
pected to make little resistance, and then
is to proceed south to join Gen. Obregon
in his assault upon the Mexican CAPT

Gen. Villa is recognizing his army in
the north and IS expected to proceed
south through Aguas Galleries, prepared
to reinforce Gems. Ohregon and Gonzales.
