HIGH MILITARY WEN GIVE HIM UNTIL MAY 15
 TO QUIT CHAIR
Gen. Pablo Gonzales, Said To Be Staunch Carranza Supporter, Joins Revolu- tiOn With Command
A. p. Leased WireI

. WASHINGTON, May 4.-Gen. Pablo Gonzales, long regarded by Carranza as his staunchest supporter, has joined | in the revolution, according to advices today through official channels. He 1 was a few miles east of the Mexican capital yesterday in command of two regiments of federal troops and has severed both railway lines extended to Vera Cruz.
 Another report received here
 through unofficial channels was
 that the high military officers
 whom Carranza summoned in coun-
 Gil a few days ago had supple
 n1ented their advice to him to re-
 sign with an ultnna alum fixing May
 15 as the limit for his tenure of
 office.
 The reported determination of tho military group to force him out of of- flee would go far, officials here believe, to account for the failure that has been met by Carranza in getting under way an offensive campaign. To date the revolution has moved forward without battle and the report mentioning the ultimatum added that his military ad- visers were determined not to follow d course that would inevitably involve the country in a long struggle filled with danger of foreign complications.
 When Gonzalez disappeared from Mexico City, government officials there ara said to have expressed ignorance as to his whereabouts, but all secrecy IS to his movements was removed when he joined Manuel Gonzalez, com mandfng federal force near Los Refs. This meeting was followed by the i'm mediate utilization Of the force as a revolting unit. After cutting the rail roads, Gonzalez and his force are said to have moved towards the state of Puebia where a strong force Of ruraIes recently announced their support of tho rebellion.
 Political Aspects Barred
 Gonzalez, who was the leading oppo- nent of Obregon for the presidency until Ambassador Bonillas entered a $ a. candidate, conferred with Obregon just before Obregon fled from the capital. where he was being held as an impor- tant witness in a case brought against Gen. Cejudo for sedition. Prior to that conference had been held between Obregon, Gonzalez and Bonillas. at which, 1t was announced, BOni!las had been urged by both ObregOu and Con zalez to join them in Withdrawing their three candidates in the interest of harmony. Bonillas' refusal was fol lowed by the revolt in Sonora and the flight of Obregon.
 Cable companies refused today 10 aC- cept messages for Mexico City for the first time since the uprising. The re- fusal to accept messages was contrued by officials here as an indication that when the revolutionists cut the railway lines between the capital and Vera Cruz they also cut the land wires which paralleled one of the roads most of the way.
 Whether CarranZa still has access to the cable station at Coatzacoalcos, south of f'Vera Cruz. was unknown here, but regarded as improbable on account of the presecne Of rebels in the vicinity of that point on the Isthmus of Te- huantepec. Salina Cruz, the cable sta ton at the Pacific end of the isthmus. has been reported in possession of the rebels. The only land wires left the government for direct communication with the United States are those through Eagle Pass and Laredo.
