lures offered by the Mexican conven,

the warning leaders to consider plan
for the cessation of hostilities. Obre-

Carranza faction, was the first leader
to reply.
His telegraphic message, received
by FREDERICK Gamboa, former minis
ter in Huerta's cabinet, who was
named chairman OF the permanent
committee of the convention, follows:
Il have received the message which
was sent inviting us in the name of
a group Of Mexican refugees there, to
drop our arms. Those who have the
valor to offer blood for the republic
do not put down their arms. We will
not put down our arms while there
yet have not disappeared from our
sacred soil the traitors who sell out
to the reactionary party to sink our
revolutionary principles.

refugees in a foreign country; would
take a rifle and apply it for your
party, your labor would be more effec-
tive, and you would have, at least,
