CITY OF MEXICO, April 26,-The
Secretary of War has promulgated a
circular to all army officers calling
upon them to declare themselves in
regard to their attitude toward the
Sonora revolution, and admonishinl
them that their services are due the
federal government, with all loyalt,
and all fealty.
1t is reported that Gen. Geneviv'
de la o has declared for Oregon,
and will line up his command on the
side of the new revolution.
Advices from Monterrey relate the
robbery of the home of Mrs. Floren-
cha Carranza, widow of the recently
deceased Jesus Carranza, a notable of
that state, whose residence was enter
ed by thieves, who succeeded in find
ing place where she had secreted the
sum of six thousand dollars, Ameri-
can money. The familiarity of the
thief or thieves with the premises di-
rected suspicion toward some of the
servants of the family, who are un-
der police surveillance.
The through train between this city
and Guadalajara was wrecked yester-
day at point about six kilometers
from the city of Guadalajara. by
criminal removal of a rail, which
threw the locomotive off from the
track into an arroyo. with six cars
following, the latter catching fire and
being destroyed completely. The en-
gineer was killed. Many passengers
were wounded.
The activity noted recently in the
great extinct volcano Popocatapetl, in
the vicinity of this capital, which has
caused much alarm, is subsiding,
violence of the subterranean rum
blings and trembling Of surface areas
is diminishing, and the vapors arts
ing as cloud from the summit are
All of which contributes
to allay much apprehension of citizens
and jewellers in this capital and its
vicinity.

British cotton buyers who have beer

The Secretary of Was has giver
out the information that Gen. Can.

Carranza, who has been engaged in
management of the presidential cam
paign of Ignacio Bonillas, has laid
aside that work for the present, and
gone to the State Of Jalisco, where he
will engage in the work of raising
troops for operations against the So
fora revolution.
The Secretary of the Treasury

gated circular with regard to the
financial stringency visiting some
parts of the republic, caused by dis
appearance of money of Mexican
Coinage, in which circular he admits
that in about one-half of the states

llong the northern border and the
West Coast, the stringency has been
remedied to a great extent by free
circulation of American money, which
has entered those states to purchase
crops for export to the United States.

corn, coffee, etc.
With regard to the report that Gen.
Benjamin Hill, the companion of
Oregon in his flight from this cap
ital, having been wounded in a fight
at Contreras, made prisoner, brought
to this capital and dying here, it is
developed now that there was no
foundation for the story, except that
in the fight at Contreras the federals
captured a riderless horse which was
said to have been ridden by Hill. 1t
is now reported that Hill is with the
lapatistas in the Sierra del Ajusco,
state of Guerro, and that he is in
most excellent health, without wounds
Or injuries Of any kind.
