SAiTilLO. Mexico, july " me tollOW-
Ing statement was issued to-day by Gen.
venustiaro Cdrrauza. giving his attitude
on reforms and his position with regard to
foreigners:
81 have compiled and propose to comply
until the end 10 the plan OF Guadalupe
which bears date Of March OF last year.
In conformity with this plan which was
subscribed to BY the chiefs and officials
who surrounded me before ! was ac-
qusinted with the Usurper Huerta, I then
being Governor OF the state OF Coahuila.
and accepted by all the chiefs and officials
Of tho Constltutionalist army. | find my
self Obliged to remove from the posts they
occupy uniawfuily all tho usurpers OF the
three powers, executive. legislative and
judicial.
As First Chief OF the Constitutionalists
7 shall continue to struggle 20 establish
peace throughout the republic as soon as
possible and will Immediately thereafter
call an election which will rule in the re-
establishing of the constitutional order in
Mexico. For this reason the plan OF
Guadalupe is not and will not be pro-
gramme Of government nor revolu-
tionary plan, but rather, as 1t is, a po-
ntical plan. ...
He Calls Madero Martyr.
TN my capacity OF constitutional Gov
ernor OF the State OF .Coahuila my only
duty WAS TO protest against the anti-con-
stituttonal acts which occurred in Mexico
city in February of last year and de-
nouncing by force of arms the Govern
ment in the hands OF the usurper Huerta
But later the struggle progressed, meas
ured by Justice and right and, as was
desired and hoped for. the ideas OF the
people for a social renovation transformed
the movement against the usurper into a
true social revolution.
This Is easily explained. After sub
hitting to the dictatorship OF Gen. Por-
hrio Diaz for more than thirty years the
people OF Mexico needed change OF air
Therefore the apostle. and martyr Fran
cisco Madero. began an enthusiastic and
valorous struggle against the Diaz regime
and aroused in the people a general desire
FOR liberty. But the revolution OF 1910.
which broke up with the treaty OF peace
Of Ciudad JuareZ. elevated Francisco
Leon de la Barra to the Presidency of
the republic.
"De la Barra was a pupil Of the school or
dictatorship and proved an unsatisfactory
representative both to Madero and the Ma
t!onal interests For this reason tie people
now demand the reforms tnht the .TeNQlu-
ton OF 1910 could not put into effect and
! now, as First Chief OF the COnstitu-
tionalist army besides complying With the
plan of Guadalupe. believe myself obliged
TO satisfy the revolutionary tendencies Of
the actual movement, which took place In
1910 and which | maintain to-day, whose
effect / have dictated and will continue to
dictate to the end Of the serving OF the
necessities NJ the Mexican people, sub
hitting my acts To the judgment Of the
next constitutional Government for fatih-
cation or reform through a constitutional
Congress.
Looks for Early Triumph.
Moreover have confidence In tr
umphing over the enemy very soon, COM
polling the principal chiefs and officials
10 flee to. foreign countries or. surrender
themselves
I'm a few days the three divisions Of
Gems Gonzales, villa and Obregon win ad
vance simultaneously toward the capita
OF the republic | believe that Huerti
the usurper Will not resist. the advance o
the Constitutionallst forces.
IF the columns of the northeast. IN,
north and the northwest amalgate shall
take direct command OF all these force
and will direct military operations In com
bination with the division Of the centre
which Is under command OF Gems Jesu
Csrranza and Panflo Natera, and OF tn,
division OF the west. under command o
Gen. Candida AEuilar
In respect TO my attitude toward Tor
