UPRISING PLOT
IN CHIHUAHUA
Two Hundred Men Arrest

Arrivals from Chihuahua bring word
that the situation in that city is deadly

The Chihuahua plot was ono that re-
ouired but one more gathering Of the
conspirators when the general defec-
ton Of the garrison and the widespread
hostility OF the lower classes OF the
CITY was to have been infiamed. In
the conspiracy were not only many Of
the discontinued pelados, but a number
of dissatisfied native business men and
also n sprinkling of officers. Among
the latter were several captains colo
nels and majors. The arrest OF the con
spirators has completely overshadowed
the Imprisonment Of Pablo Lopez, and
explains in a measure why more en-
phasis has not been placed upon his
trial and execution.
The plOtters were all arrested

city. and after the building had been
completely surrounded by the military.
When 1t was learned inside that the
place was surrounded, the plotters be-
came panic stricken and many at

hended as they fled down alleys. and.
while many escaped. the major portion
were caught. The confession OF others
led 10 later arrests.
