in Mexico City and lays the blame for
Madero's death to the alleged combi-

planning another revolution.
The Charges Made.
1t is as follows:
THE bloody events which took place
in the City Of Mexico from February 9
to %. in 1913, which concluded with the
assassination of President Madero and
Vice President Pine Suares are noto-
rious throughout the world. 1t Is
equally well known that these events
and the overthrow of the legitimate
government of President Madero were
brought about by Gems. Felix Diaz.
Banquet and the mean Gen. Bernardo
..
through the concerted actions Of these
with Gen. Victoriano Huerta, whom
President Madero had named military
commissioner of the plaza; and finally
1t Is also known that Gen. Huerta turn

who have never been prosecuted for
these crimes of high treason against the
Mexican republic.
THE co-authors with Huerta were
Gems. Mondragon, Banquet and Diaz,
the civilians who formed the so-called
deputies of the general congress and
various native and foreign capitalists
who co-operated. Huerta was placed
in power through the medium of this
crime and Venustiano Carranza, con-
governor of the state Co
hula, protested against this usurpation,
refusing to recognize the authority of
Huerta and his so-called government"
The flight of Huerta and his support
ers is noted and the petition adds:
turned to America and made his resi-
dence in New York. giving out q state
ment that he came to reside In this
country in order to partake of its
and for whose people he
the grandest sympathies.
All the New York press advanced the
that Huerta would not take
part in a new Intervention in the politi-
cal affairs of Mexico. But on the ar
rival of Banquet and Mondragon and
Diaz and a large number of friends
and partisans who had been with
Huerta. all the American press an
profusely that Huerta, Blan-
quet. Felix Diaz. Mondragon and other
partisans were meeting daily and ar
against Mexico"
New Attempt at Revolution.
The request then recited the fact of
Huerta's alleged attempt to launch
revolution from Ell Paso.
Consular dispatches from Vera Cruz
said Carranza authorities claimed that
Gen. Gonzales had captured some of
the Zapata artillery and had advanced
nearer to Mexico City. A consular dis
patch from Puebla reported the city
quiet at 8 PM, June 80.
The reported repulse of the Carranza
forces under Gen. Pablo Gonzales and
the reverse to Gen. Obregon's army at
Lagos are denied by Carranza. In
dispatch from Vera Cruz to his con-
Deny report that Gen. Gonzales has
been defeated near Mexico City, even
though it may have been reported by
Consul Canada. You can also deny that
it was in this place that he defeated
1000 villistas and Is on his march to-
ward Aguascalientes."
"Disproof Of the extravagant claims
Of villa contained in the dispatches
received from First Chief Carranza at
Vera Cruz is quite in line with pre-
vious advance accounts Of military
operations during the present insur-
government in Mexico" said Eliseo
Arredondo, head of the Carranza
agency here.
"Ring Of steel.'
The repetition Of these claims is
continued Mr.. Arredondo.
The first great victory Of Gen. Obre-
gon at Irapuato was reported as a
villa victory. and the claim was put
forward that the army of Obregon was
by an impenetrable ring
Of steel The alleged ring Of steel was
broken to bits only to reform in the
lima agination of the villista authori-
ties. who announced again after the
battle of Celaya that 'Obregon was
and his annihilation only
a question of a few hours" Again the
ring Of steel was broken and the au-
thentic reports Of the battle Of Celaya
showed 1t to be a convincing victory
for Gen. Obregon.
AT Leon once more the Villistas
claimed to have won the fight, even go
ing 80 far as to say that they had taken
Irapuato and other points to the south
ward. having confined obregon to the
little town Of Trinidad. Three or four
days later. after the correct reports had
had time to pass through the office Of
the minister Of war at Vera Cruz, 1t was
again proved that the Villistas had been
signally whipped.
Now, after three or four days of In
sistance that the Obreson army has been
defeated. comes the Official account of a
victory and the announcement Of the
advance of obregon's forces under the
immediate command Of Cen Hill in the
direction Of Aguascalientes. It would
seem that the reiteration Of false reports
of victory Is the only Villista method Of
winning them"
Yaqui Indians are offering no further
trouble. Admiral Howard has reported,
and the cruiser New Orleans has sailed
from Guaymas for La Pax.
