REVOLT AGAINST
CARRANZA IS
GROWING
Rumors of an Armed Uprising
in Southern Mexico against
Present Government.

MONTEREY. Mex. Mar. 11.-Reyo-
lutiOnary events of which the general
public in Mexico and the United States
are permitted to obtain but little
knowledge are taking place in south
ern Mexico. according to reports that
have been received here from reliable
sources during the last few. days.
1t Is stated that General Emiliano
Zapata has extended his military
operations into big scope of terri
tory that was formerly held by Car
ranZists troops. After several months
OF comparative inavtivity Zapata be-
gan an aggressive campaign to widen
his empire early in January. He has
since that time, driven the Carranza
forces out OF nearly all of the state
Of Puebla, part of the state Of Jalisco
and nearly all of the territory Of Te-
pic. Recently large body of Zapa-
tistas invaded the independent and
neutral state of Oaxaca and some des-
nerate fighting has been going on
there between the armed forces OF the
state government and the revolution
lists.
Lapata Has Plenty of Money.
It is known that zapata, the revo-
lutionlst, has greatly augmented his
armed forces during the last few
months, He is plentifully supplied
with money and is paying his soldiers
good wages. He is being regularly
supplied with war munitions through
the port of Acapulco, in the state Of
Guerrero, Is the declaration made by
men who have good knowledge OF
what Is transporting.
General Pablo Gonzales, the Car
rama military commander In the City
of Mexico, Is preparing to inaugurate
a sweeping campaign against Zapata,
according to advices received from the
headquarters OF the first chief In
Queretaro.
Another serious factor of the sltua-
ton that is disturbing the Carranza
leaders NO little is the disquieting re-
ports that come from the states OF
Chiapas, Campeche and Tabasco, in
far southeastern Mexico. That new
revolution is being fomented in that
region is plainly evident, 1t Is claimed.
The fomenters of the new trouble ara
making headquarters in Guatemala
and, II reports received here are to
be believed, the Cabrera government
of Guatemala is giving its quiet sane
ton and support to the revolutionary
movement which has for it's purpose
the reinstating of the old Clcntiflcn
element in power In Mexico.
Peace in Monterey.
Notwithstanding the troubles that
exist in southern Mexico peace OF an
apparently permanent character seems
to have settled over a largo portion
OF northern Mexico. Business and In
dustrial conditions are improving rap
idly. In Monterey the lead furnaces
Of the big smelter OF the American
Smelling and Refining Company were
blown in a few days ago after a long
shutdown. Orc is coming from tho
mines and big shipments of coke for
fuel have been received. It is an
nounced that the copper smelter of
this company ut Matehuala, state OF
San Luis Potosl. has also resumed
operations. The $1O,000,000 plant OF
the Monterey Iron and Steel Company
In this city will be placed In full oper-
alton within short time IL peaceful
conditions continue to PREVAIL Tho
iron ore supply will be obtained from
the big deposit at Durango. Various
other industries in this city; are re-
suning work and many idle people
OF tho lower classes are finding en-
pfoyment.
