Chihuahua, Mexico, February ga
plan for the formation In Northern
Mexico Of new republic is being per-
fected according 10 persistent rumors
In circulation here u -day.
Certain rebel leaders intimate that
the delay OF the Constitutionalist at
tack on Torreon is due to the scheme
for the divorce. While General Car
rama, civil head OF the revolution, and
General villa, military leader, disclaim

chief remaining strongholds OF the
Eederals being at Tampico, on the
East; Monterey. Saltillo and Torreon
on the south; GuayamaS on the West
and Nuevo Laredo and Piodras Negras
on the North.
Asserting that tho revolutionary
leaders may have to content themselves
with their Victories in the North, Off
Gals high in the rebel government
point out that one reason for the over

he represented the ideals OF the North
at the seat of the government In the
South.
That by delaying his attack on Tor
