War VIII Result.

N0gales, Sonora.--The state of So
nora withdrew from the republic Of
Mexico on April 10. The congress at
Hermosillo in secret session which
lasted all night voted, according to
reports reaching here, to resist with
armed forces any attempt of the Car
rama government of Mexico to send
troops into the state.
withdrawal of Sonora was brought
about by President Carranza ordering
federal troops sent into the state.
When the plan to send Mexican fed
erals into Sonora became known, state
authorities said the Carranza troops
would be met with armed forces and
civil war would result. President
Carranza was called upon by Gov.
Adolfo de la Huerta to explain the
reason for the contemplated invasion
of Sonora.
Carranza replied that If troops were
ordered into Sonora it was for the
general welfare of the country. The
reply did not satisfy Governor de la
Huerta and other state leaders. The
state executive in announcing the
break with the Carranza government,
said:
sin view of the replies Of President
Carranza to the governor and con-
gress of the state Of Sonora, it was
decided to suspend relations with the
central government until such time as
the causes leading to the determine
ton has ceased to exist"
Sonora political leaders declared
President Carranza planned to set up
a military dictatorship in Sonora and
take over the state government. He
was openly accused Of plotting the
maneuver to harm the presidential
candidacy of General Alvaro Obregon,
whose home is here.
