orders said to have been issued by Gen.
Nenustiano Carranza, all the Constitution

upon Mexico city, which until to-day was
well under way by at least two OF the big
divisions OF the rebel army.
At Guadalajara Gen, Alaro Obregon Is
holding his forces in readiness to move
upon Queretaro, which is expected to be
the last point to offer serious resistance to
the rebel advance upon the Federal dis
trict. With every preparation made TO
continue the campaign Obregon was or
dered TO await orders from Carranza and
the reason assigned is that his men need
rest.

claim that these plates were given

by particular men, and those chosen
