CARRANzA, LAST LEGS
Continued from Page one)

word of tie existence of a new reVo-
lutlonary plot now being fomented by
Felix Diaz and a group of sympathiz-
ers with the Diaz and Huerta regimes
The headquarters of the revolutionists
are said to be a city near where a doz-
en- plOtters meet daily
On an island in the Gulf of Mexico
these revolutionists are said to have
stored away vast quantity of arms
and ammunition, including machine
guns and ether equipment of mndern
makes. According to circumstantial
reports, they have an abundance of
money and are spending it freely The
plan said to be to transport these
war munitions to a chosen spot on the
cast coast of Mexico az propitious
moment when no United States war
ships are about and there under cover
of darkness land them. This part of
the program would have been put into
effect long ago, it is said, had it not
been that the revolutionists lack suf-
ficiently strong connection in Mexico
itself 20 make the landing of the arms
of any practical use.
Need Leader.
What is most urgently needed, ac-
cording to the information, is a leader
| in Mexico who can rally to him a
sufficiently large number of men to
make use of the munitions once they
are landed on the Mexican coast. The
difficulty that now confronts Diaz and
his associates is TO get word of their
ambitious scheme to enough second
airy leaders in Mexico to make the re-
sulting forces strong enough to over
come all foes. This difficulty is now
being remedied by agents of the revo-
lutionists who have gone into Mexico
from this side of the border.
The view of the state department
remains unchanged by those reports.
Officials of the department admit that
the ability of Carranza to make his
de facto government outlive all revo-
| lutionary plots has never been free
/ from doubt and that in view of con-
ditions that have existed since his
recognition by this government, his
ability to retain his hold on the sit
uation as long as he has is considered
surprising In any event. the state
/ department will continue to discredit
any anticipatory suggestions that the
end of the de facto government is in
sight until Carranza's overthrow is an
accomplished fact.
1t was pointed out by department
| officials that the end of CarTanza' 6
ascendancy would not necessarily en-
barrass the administration, inasmuch
as conditions then would be no worse
than they were during the latter part
of President Taft's administre ton.
