PABLO GONZALES DESERTS n
 REBELS
Carranza's Military Chief Goes Over to New Regime
 With Forces -

WASHINGTON, May 4. - Gen.
 eral Pablo Gonzales, long re-
 garded by Carranza as his
 staunchest supporter, has joined
 in the revolution, according to ad-
 vices today through official chan nels. He was few miles east of the Mexican capital yesterday in command of two regiments of fed erai troops and had severed toth
 railroad lines extending to Vera Cruz
 Another report received here through unofficial channels was that the high military officers whom Car ranza summoned in council few days ago had supplemented their ad- vice to him to resign with an ultima tum fixing May 15 as the limit for his tenure of office.
 The reported determination of the military group to force him out of of flee would go far. officials here be- | lieve. to account for the failure that has been met by CarranZa in getting I | fate the revolution has moved for ward without a battle and the report mentioning the ultimatum, added that | his military advisors were determined not to follow a course that. would in evitably involve the country in iong struggle filled with danger of foreign cOmplications
 Joins Rehei Force When Gonzales disappeared from Mexico City government officials there are said to have professed ig- norance as to his whereabouts, but all secrecy as to his movements was removed when he joined Manuel Con zales. commanding a federal foI ICc near Los Rios. This meeting was followed by the immediate utiliZa- ton of the force as a revolting unit. After cutting the railroads Gonzales and his force are said 10 have moved toward the state of Puebla, where a strong force of rurales recently an nounced their support of the rebell- ion.
 Gonzales. who was the leading op Donent of Obregon for the presidency until Ambassador Bonillas entered as q candidate, conferred with Obregon just before Obregon fled from the capital where he was being held as an important witness in case brought against General Cejudo for sedition. Prior to that conference had been held between Obregon. Con hales and Bonillas, at which, it was announced. Bonillas had been urged by both Obregon and Gonzales to join them in withdrawing their three can didacies in the interest of harmony.
 Bonillas' refusal was followed by the revolt in Sonora and the flight of Obregon.

 Cable companies refused today to accept messages for Mexico City for the first time since the uprising. The refusal to accept messages was con strued by officials here as an indica- ton that when the revolutionists cut the railroad 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 Vera Cruz. was unknown here but regarded as improbable on account of the presence of rebels in the vicinity of that point on the isth- mus of Tehuantepec.
 San Luis the cable station at the Pacific end of the isthmus. has been reported in possession of the rebels. The only land wires left the govern ment for direct communication with ! the United States are those through Eagle Pass and Laredo.
