movement to oust Carranza and Oore-
gon from control Of the Mexican
government. 1t was revealed that the
personnel Of the proposed new Cabinet
has been almost completed and that
MANY of the Carranza generals have
gone over to the movement
Behind the movement are the leaders
of the new Legalst party, who have
formed a coalition with other oppo-
nents of Carranza.
With the assurance Of abundant
financial backing the leaders of the
coalition plan to win over all the armed
forces in Mexico.
II was learned to-day that emissaries
of the new movement are carrying the
word to Carranza soldiers in field and
garrison under the Legalists, and all
soldiers will be paid in silver at the
rate of one peso a day, with food and
clothing supplied free.
As the Carranza troops now are paid
in Carranza currency to the equivalent
Of about three cents day. the oher
is said to be causing a stampede to the
new movement.
A change in the lineup Of leaders
of the movement has been made TO
take care of the military men who have
been drawn into the scheme. Fran
cisco de la Barrs, while he is said to be
heartily in sympathy with the move
ment, does not wish TO be the provis-
ional President because of the opposi-
ton 10 him by the former Villstas
who now are prominent in the move
ment.
Calero To Be President.
Vasquez Tagle, prominent in the Ma
dero government, il is said, is 20 be
temporary President. with Manuel CAL
ero, former Ambassador TO the United
States, decided upon for permanent
President.
General Felipe Angeles, former artil-
lery chief of Villas army, is slated for
Minister of War.
Jose Yves Limantour, who was Sec
retsry Of the Treasury under General
Diaz, is TO have similar place in the
new Cabinet.
General Jose Maytorena. former Gov
ernor of Sonora, and Miguel Disz Lom-
bardo, both of whom are refugees from
Mexico, are to have Cabinet positions.
Francisco de la Barra is to be Minis
ter of Foreign Relations. and Felix
Diaz is to have command OF one OF
three army divisions, with a probability
of being made chief commander.
The Zapata elements are to be CON
trolled through the influence OF Emilio
Vasquez Gomez, who, with DR.. Fran
cisco Vasquez Gomez, started the new
revolt month ago.
II was learned to-day that all was
ready TO spring the new revolution be-
fore the Columbus massacre occurred.
Following that outrage the threat Of
American Intervention was so great
that the leaders decided it would be
fatal to the new movement to attempt
to inaugurate it until conditions be-
tween the two countries had become
nearer normal.
Seek Friendship of United States.
The friendship of the United States
is one Of the first things the leaders Of
the movement plan to seek. General
are on their way TO Washington for
conference with Assistant Secretary of
State Polk. Assurances from a num-
ber of wealthy exiles that they are
ready TO finance new movement in
Mexico are 70 be laid before the State
Department, according to current re-
ports. on condition that they be grant
ed amnesty and permission TO return 70
Mexico to resume charge of their prop
critics.
The plan is to raise a sufficient army
TO take control of the de facto govern
ment away from CarranZa and Obregon
by force Of arms, appoint provisional
President and call an election at once.
The charges against Carranza and
Obregon are that they have established
what amounts to a military oligarchy
in Mexico, and that they are attempt
ing to put into effect pet reforms of
their own before holding elections or
reestablishing a constitutional govern
ment.
The government, at the present time,
il is charged, is in the hands OF Obre-
gon, Carranza and Pablo Gonzales, and
the constitution has been set aside
completely in spite of the fact that
CarranZa calls himself the first chief
of the Constitutionalist party.
Garrison to Join Movement.
The military plan includes the join
ing of all northern garrisons with the
new movement and the uniting of the
military and the old "Cientifco" fac
tions against the Carranza party, which
the leaders assert is growing weak be-
cause Carranza has accomplished little
since taking charge OF affairs.
The new party has adopted the name
Of Leealist party, 1t is said, because IL
is claimed that this movement is TO
establish a legal and constitutional
government in the republic.
The Clerical party, which has always
been closely affiliated with the Glen
tifco group, is said TO be in sym
pathy with the new movement in an
effort to establish their holdings again
in Mexico.
The leaders declare that Villa has
nothing to do with the new movement
and that he will not be included in its
military organization.
One OF the strong points of argu-
ment advanced by the trainers Of the
new party is the revitslization of Mex
ico's finances. With the new Carranza
currency selling for less than cents,
the leaders Of the new party" say
they have succeeded in pledging suff-
cient money among the various faction
alists in Mexico and the United States
TO place a gold deposit in the treasury
at Mexico City TO redeem the old Fed
eral money and make il legal tender in
the republic.
BY retiring the Carranza issues and
u,,hetf,u.tpr ,ba nlI E.dar.l
it is planned to put the finances of the
government upon a firm basis, so that
international trade relations may be
resumed at once.
