rama, who is making a stand against
revolutionary forces at the village of
San Marcos, twenty-seven miles
northeast of Puebla, has not yet been
dislodged from his position there 10y

railroad leading from Apizaco to this
city.
San Antonio. Tex, May 11-obre-
gonistas confiscated the national
treasury funds today. according to
wireless messages received by revolt
sympathizers here from Mexico City.
The same advices confirmed the exc
cutions of Under-Secretary of the
Treasury Manuel Amaya and Gen.
Elutero Avila by Gen. Juan Merge,
after he had denounced Carranza and
attacked the train carrying the Pres
ident to Vera Cruz In the battle
that ensued Gen. Candida Aguilar
was killed. The reports stated that
two OF 'Carranza's sons were being
held prisoners by Merigo. The fall
of Monterey was definitely confirm
ed in messages to the local rebel
junta.
Washington. May 11-Following
the complete collapse of the Carran-
"a regime in Mexico a new govern
ment with Gen. .Adolfo De La Huerta
at its head has been formed. This
announcement was made here today
by the mission of the revolution,
whose chief is Senior Alvaro Tore
Diaz.
The new Government already is
functioning and is understood to have
indicated that 1t desires the recogni-
ton of the United States. A tele-
gram on that subject has been re-
ceived from Sonora, seat of the new
government.
The rapid developments, all blood
less, demanded discussion by the cabi-
net at its meeting today, but, as usu-
al. nothing official was announced
following the meeting. The situa-
ton was called for discussion princi-
pally because the new anti-Carranza,
anti-autocratic EDITORIAL cabal at Mex
leo City is already functioning, and it
is with this regime that the United
States army and navy and the State
Department must deal unless Car
rama, whose whereabouts are un-
known, be propped up again at some
place within the boundary of Mexico.
This, however. is only remotely pos
sible, in the opinion of officials here.
What apparently has been decided
Is that.,this government, in its settle
ments this time, will not invoke the
A. b. C. government as conferees.
Instead it will follow the rule that If
the regime does not interfere with
the life and property of citizens of
the United States it will be recog-
nized.
A peaceful outcome is indicated by
the fact that the dispatches today
from American consule and naval Of
flcers in, Mexican waters declare that
all is quiet.
The personnel of the new govern
ment follows:
Gen. Dolfo de la Huerta, provision
al president
Gen. Salvador Alvardo, minister of
finance.
Gen. PIutarco Gales, minister of
war.
Alonbo Tore Diaz, minister of
state ad interim.
Senior Diaz belongs to the old Diaz
family, but General De la Huerta has
no family connection with former
President Huerta. Interesting, as in
dicating the closeness of the relations
between Gen Pablo Gonzalez and
General Obregon, it was said that
Diaz is a close friend of Gonzales
and was suggested by 0bregon for
his present post.
The new provisional president is
now at Hermosillo. the capital of
Sonora, where the present revolution
was organized. He will proceed to
Mexico City, shortly according to the
revolutionary mission offices here.
He is the present governor of the
state of Sonora.
General De la Heurta is about 4S
years of age and is described as
man of great executive ability, both
as an official and in commercial bus
mess. He was prominent in the rev.
solution of 1913 and since that time
mas been employed by Carranza on
