Attack.

. y
the order Of President Carbajal that
the statue of Washington be replac-
ed on the pedestal from where it was
torn down during the anti-American
riots, revulsion of feeling towards
the United States has been exper-
fenced by Mexican citizens and press
alike. The belief that Americans will
evacuate Vera Cruz just as soon as
duly elected president is installed
grows every Gay. Kindly feeling is
being manifested on all sides towards
Americans. Last fall the American
club was stormed and nearly wrecked
by Mexicans. Today the Mexican
press is coming forward with demands
that reparations in full be made to all
Americans who suffered, newspapers
insisting that the person who took the
arm OF the Washington statue return
1t at once. The arm has been missing
since the statue was torn down.
Carbajal is in complete control of
the situation here. Government Of
ficials charge reports that the city is
about to fall before Zapata are being
ciruclated by clique with headquar-
ters in Washington with view or op-
tanning Intervention. Certain inter-
ests that would profit by intervention
are backing this clique, it is declared.
While some desultory exchange OF
shots have taken place in the edges OF
the city it is believed there is no
danger Of Zapata effecting an en-
trance. The government troops are
easily strong enough to hold the city
against any Zapata attack. Carbajal
is not in need of outside assistance.
Parties that have attacked the govern
ment outpost have been mere bands
and have been repulsed without any
trouble. The capital is tranquil.

Orozco's Revolt.
Ell PASO, Texas, July 23.-"Gen
Pascual Orczco's revolt will fall be-
cause it is in opposition to the opin'
ion of the majority Of the people OF
Mexico" said Gen. Ynez Salazar to-
day, in a public statement issued from
hio cell at Fort Wingate, N. NJ, where
he IS held military prisoner by U.
S. troops. Salazar, a former compan'
ion in arms of Orozco denied he In
tended to lead the Mexican federals
now interned at Fort Wingate in
counter revolution as soon as he Is
released from custody. He declared
he is through with warfare.
Gen. Rogue Gomez and 300 inde'
pendent rebels are reported encamped
at Dog Springs, N. NJ, a few miles
from the international boundary.
American soldiers have been sent to
arrest them.
Armistce is Expected.
WASHINGTON, July 23.-Of1cfal
confirmation that the warning Mexi-
can factions have at last agreed to an
armistice was eagerly sought by ad'
ministration leaders today.
The Brazilian minister at Mexico
City in whose hands American in
terests now are, has sent nothing con-
firmatory of the statement of General
Iturbide, commanding the federal dis
trict, that one will be proclaimed to-
day. 1t is accepted by the admins
tration, however, that some such ac-
ton has been agreed on.
If an armistice covering all Mexico
is announced. it is considered certain
that CarrsnZa has made certain prom
ises to Carbajal. The latter has in
sisted that he must have guarantees
of the lives of all tederals although
it is known in these demands he ad-
mitted that men actually responsible
for the death of Madero would not be
covered by such amensty. because
of this official amnesty, means OF
basis for agreement Las been found
