 DOUGLAS. May 17.-Adolfo de la Huerta arrived today in Hermosillo. according to a telegram received at the headquarters of General P. Elias Gales, military governor of Sonora, and tomorrow. according to Ives G. Lelevicr, Mexican consul, will take of flee as civil governor of Sonora.
 It is broadly intimated in official quarters that De la Huerta. while gov ernor in name, will be subordinate in every detail to General Gales. who re- tains the position of commander-in chief of 20. 600 troops assembled in the state.
 This is q certainty, almost, as De la Huerta has publicly pledged himself to continue General Gales policies and to retain all of his appointees in the various state offices.' Thus General Gales will not alone retain all power, but a mere word would be in position to set aside any of the civil governor S official acts.
 Mir. Lelevier returned today from Phoenix, where he interviewed Gov ernor George w. P. Hunt of Arizona, as well as the state board of pardons, in relation to reprieves for Francisco Rodriguez, who is sentenced to be hanged for murder at the state prison at Florence, May 19. and for Eduardo l Do ralta, also to hang for murder on later | dates
 1 He feels morally certain that Rod riguez will be executed. but is confi- dent that reprieves and possible com mutation Of sentence to life impris- onment will be given in the other cases. In any event, he hopes to se- cure q reprieve until the fall election when the question of capital punish. ment will again be revived under { referendum petition.
 | Lelevier presented a petition con taining the names of 5000 Mexicans naturaliZed citizens of the United States and voters of Arizona to tn, board of pardons in support of hi rlea for official clemency The board is holding a meeting in Phoenix today deciding the question of a reprieve fo Rodriguez.
 Lelevier carried with him an officia
 letter of greeting from General I
 Elias Gales to Governor Hunt and
 verbal message from Adolfo De |
 Huerta, the Sonora civil governor, t the same official. He was cordial
 received by the governor, and brough
 back with him messages of felicita
 tion to Gales upon his excellent ad
 ministration of Sonora affairs and . De Ia Huerta. expressing the hope tha } his term of office would be marke l by peace and prosperity.

 SAN ANTONIO, May 17.-An early withdrawal of the punitive expedition commanded by Colonel Frederick Sib- ley, south of Boquillas, was indicated at department headquarters today. The rescue of Jesse Deemer. the American storekeeper and Monroe Payne, the negro cook who were car ried across the border by bandits when they raided Glenn Springs and Boquillas, twelve days ago, was re- ported today by Colonel Sibley, who received his information from Major LanghOrne, who reported that he was endeavoring to overtake the bandits who had eluded him at Fl Pino, from where he sent the report and where he found Deemer and Payne.
 Officers here regarded 1t as prob able that q successful encounter with the bandits would bring the eXpedi- tion to an end and not at all inn probable that failure to overtake them also would be followed by recall. It was explained at headquarters that four troops of cavalry and the ma chine gun company operating under Colonel Sibley south of the boder was altogether inadequate for effective operations and that further pursuit of 1 the bandits was unlikely.
 Deemer and Payne had been left at 1 Fl Paso by the retreating bandits with | instructions to the residents that they | be killed if an attempt to rescue was | made The residents of the village refused to obey instructions. protesting | their friendship to the Americans when they entered the town yesterday morning.

DOUGLAS, Ariz., May 17.-Thirty recruits for the Arizona National Guard arrived here tonight from Tucson and were taken to the camp. Their coming is noteworthy because although the state has been flooded with literature and much effort has been expended by the adjutant generals office to secure recruits, they are the first to arrive here so far.
 Locally, recruiting is advancing with the same slowness which is evident in other parts of the state.
 It was learned today that this is one of the deterrent features to the mus tering of the regiment into the federal

rivals from Mexico indicate that Gen eral J. J. Pershing is re-distributing some of his troops along the northern end of the line of communication. Other official reports say considerable unrest exists among the natives and the resident Americans in the occupied district, begotten by rumors that the troops were to be withdrawn. Some stories were to the effect that Villistas in San Antonio and neighboring com
 munities had made reprisals on persons
 who transacted business with the American forces.
 About a score of officers from the army schools at Fort Leavenworth and Fort Sill reached here today on their way to join their regiments in Mexico.

Washington, Feb. 7.-President Will

that the British steamship Appam,

German prize crew must be considered
as a prize of Germany under the Prus-
sian-American treaty Of 1928. 1t was
stated last night that this accords
with the view of the state department.
The president has not had an op-
portunity to discuss with Secretary
Lansing the details of the case and
therefore, no final decision has been
reached as to the length of time the
Appam will be allowed to remain in
an American port. Some officials agree
with the German contention that un-
der the Prussian treaty the prize crew
can keep the liner at Newport News
until the end of the war.
