other places Of importance in the south

lish himself in a sort of seaport "capi-
tai." has not yet been taken up by the

he has loyalty subordinated himself to
the provisional government, as estab-
lished by the Aguascalientes conven-
| ton. and is giving to its cause the mos,
enthusiastic support. The policy of the
