Second Revolt of Federals.
Vera Cruz, July 8.-A second revolt
in the ranks of the Mexican federals
outside of Vera Cruz, in which the
majority of the command will join,
and a junction of the two forces at
Tejeria was anticipated by General
Carranza's agent here.
Although it has developed that
only a comparatively small number
of the men mutinied yesterday, the
advance of the constitutionalists
along the American lines to within a
short distance of the federal outposts
is taken as indicative that the rebel
officers have an understanding with
some of the federal commanders.
The constitutionalists declare that
once a general revolt Is in progress
the constitutionalist forces win
promptly assume control of the ter
ritory outside Vera Cruz. Then the
railroad between this point and the
capitol will be cut and General Huer
ia will virtually be bottled up in

what action was taken in the ilimina-
