TREVIk0 OEFYIkG CHIEF

Troops in Chihuahua on Verge Of
Deserving.

Ell Paso, Tex, July 15.-Military au-
thorities are expecting news OF an
open revolt of thousands of de facto
government troops against Carranza.
An admission of this was obtained
from Brigadier General George Bell,
Jr., who said he believed not only that
General Jacinto B. Trevino, with his
following OF $4,000 or more troops is
on the verge OF deserving Carranza,
but that he had deliberately allowed a
train loaded with 100000 cartridges to
move out of Chihuahua City for Jimi-
neZ unguarded, knowing there was
danger of it falling into the hands OF
the rebel army.
What Trevino expected happened.
The Villa forces took the train and no
explanatory message was received al
Mexico City. This is understood to
have ended the confidence OF Carranza
and his war minister, General Alvaro
Obregon, in Trevino. A successor was
appointed and Trevino was assigned
to a new field.
clination to accept his new appoint
ment as military governor of the
states OF Nuevo Leon and Tamaulipas
seemingly makes it plain that TrevinC
has put the de facto government au
thorities on the defensive. 1t is be
lieved he will stand his ground with
his army, which appears resolved tc
know no other commander. General
Sebastian Carranza, nephew of the
first chief, who is on the border, will
make a report along these. lines tt
Mexico City.
The stand of Trevino seems borne
out by well authenticated reports thai
General jose IneZ Salazar, who few
weeks ago LETT El Paso with eight mer
to start a new revolution in Mexico
and General Narcello Caraveo, one Of
the bravest fighters whom CarraHza
ever had in his ranks, have been put
in jail at Chihuahua City by order o.
Trevino, and both are In danger o.
being executed. These men were
ero-ted am estv recently by order o.
re" eral Oregon.
A third general, Raque Gomez, is
said to be suspected by Trevino. "A
warrant exists for his arrest, and the
latest information from him is thai
he was travelling toward Colonia Dub

Trevino's failure to leave Chihuahus
City and to notify General Francisco
Gonzales, in command at JuareZ, JUS
| across the border, and other subordin
ates that they were supposed to &c
with him to his new command, indi
cate he does not intend to accept the
new charge.
The fresh alignment of affairs leaves
no other opinion on the border, but
that one of the most formidable revo
lutions ever known in Mexico is neal
unless the controlling hand of Uncle
Sam is shown with remarkable firm
ness.
Government reports on this situation
have gone forward almost daily to Ma
jor General Frederick Funston, at SaI
Antonio, Tex, and to the state depart
ment at Washington. AS has beer
stated previously, there is no doubt
in the mind of any government Off cha
in Ell Paso but that Francisco Villa and
his forces will be the next disturb
ing element in Mexico to be reckoned
with.
On every street corner expressions
can be heard that "Carranza is DONE
No one expects him to last The view
Washington was inspired by the ad
vice of personal appointees who saw
the signs of disintegration in an army
in which the first chief had taken
pride for two years.
