MaYtorenals ProeIamatIon

Ihe two proclamauons follow; Maytorena's Proclamation
 In consideration of the fact that General Benjamin c. Hill, command CT of the Carranzistas forces now oc- cupying by the force of their arms
 the city of Naco, Sonora, and in con sideration of the complaint which the said General Hill has been so aus pitous as to hand out to the cause and name of General Maytorena, of
 the troops of the State of Sonora, we l consider it but our duty to reply to
 the supposed truths which the said
 General Hill has spread as relative
 to the present state of warfare in So-
 nora, thereby telling the facts and acknowledging the complement
 which has drawn the said General
 Hill to the open where he may be
 shown in his true light and disposi-
 tion
 We thought that Hill at tn e time
 he took command of the Carranzistas
 troops which have ben attacking the l oONA hAAAAg uA lAAE E1AuAE OA koOAAOA fA was doing it as his duty of subordin-
 ation to the so-called first chief of
 the Constitutionalist army, Don Ve-
 nustiano Carranza But, in the proc
 lamation just issued the said Gener-
 al Hill identifies himself, with the
 inability and malevolence that en- tails the unjust policy of Carranza,
 against the Constitutionalist Govern ment of the State of Sonora, and gen. erally against the democratic prin. ciples for which the people of Mexico have been struggling under the lead
 ership of General Francisco Villa
 and General Jose Maria Maytorena The principle part of the procla nation in which the aforementioned General Hill attacks Maytorena. is U diyited to the fact that MaytorenG
 does not recognize Carranza as tho b first chief of the country, when there !, is a law passed by the Congress o Sonora accepting him as such Thii .' is a rough imputation as the fact O 7' the subordination of the revolution t' u Carranza does not mean a compro u mise to follow him if he betrays tht U revolution and it's principles as ha been done by Carranza.
 U In the legal order, the statemen .' made by Hill is also an error. Thu
 law passed by the Congress of So y nora excepting the Plan de Guada S lupe is entirely anti-constitutionalis e because such law gives Carranza al
 the powers of the general govern ' ment Governor Maytorena, by no H recognizing Carranza, supports thu
 constitutionalists principles, by or II dering the noncompliance of a lay '- entirely anti-constitutionalist, an + observed to eminate from persona l ambition and the turmoil of the mo ment.
 Hill is not a patriot; he is not e true revolutionary. The present rev
 olution has been to him only a mean !" for personal gain. He has appropr e ated all the valuables he has bee u able to lay his hands on. In the Stat To of Sinaloa he committed real acts O 'o robbery and this is well known b " the governor of the said State of s u naloa. Don Filipe Riveros In Alamo' 'e Sonora, beside appropriatihg furn '' ture. jewelry and money, we call a o tention to his curious way of acquil 'u ing property. Hill had an old disput .e with regard to farm lands belongin '9 to one Senor Santini in that distric 'n When Hill occupied Alamos last yea 5' be ordered the arrest of Santini an ID by threats of summary executio ie compelled him to singn before a n'
 tary public a transfer of the aboy ,,S mentioned farm lands
 io This is the honor that Hill invoke " when he addresses our people in hi " proclamation
