Mr.. Post insisted that he be per-
mitted to review the five or six
cases around which charges had
been centered against him. The
committee agreed to hear him again
today. He also asked that the brief

dangerous weapons of any kind

these were % calibre revolvers, he
said, adding that he didn't know

he had nothing to do with such

ny FREDERIC w. VILE.

Although the report that Presi-
dent Venustiano Carranza has fed
from Mexico City and was on his
way to Vera Cruz was without Of
fetal confirmation in Washington
last night, there was every evil
dence the Carranza authority can
not long withstand the revolt
which seems to have been made
almost unanimous in the south
ern republic.
The news of Carranza's fight
was received here at the head
quarters of the Sonora revolu-
tionists via Laredo, Tex, and was
to the effect that the President
and his son-in-law, Candido Agui-
lar, accompanied by two bsttzl-
ions of picked federal troops had
left the capital aboard a special
train Thursday night for the 800
mile journey to the coast.
Believed To Have Fled.
1t is the belief here that Csrrsnzs
is now somewhere between Puebl&
and Vera Cruz If he has actually
evacuated Mexico City.
Persons in Washington close TO
the revolution and even oficisls Of
the government, who have watched
the rapid development of events
across the Rio Grsnde. are inclined
to believe that no obstacles will be
placed in the path of Csrranza's
flight. From it's inception the pres
ent revolt has been unique in the
annals Of Mexican revolutions in
that it has been almost bloodIess.
Want Orderly Overthrow.
The uprising. by common consent,
has been an attempt at an orderly
overthrow OF Carranza, the govern
ment he stood for. and his elimina-
tion has been the first and thus far
the only object.
But now that the president may
be on his way TO the coast for a
last stand or actually trying TO
. leave Mexico aboard an American
warship or some outbound steamer.
conflict for leadership among the
revolutionary groups is appearing.
Not Pledged To ObreEon.
Gen. Pablo Gonzales, whose troops
are occupying Puebls. has an
nounced that he is not pledged to
support Gen. Alvsrado obregon for
the presidency in the event Of the
elimination Of Carranza. The an
nouncement is regarded here as the
first hint of the internecine strife
which may follow the depossl Of
the present government.
1t was indicated here yesterday
that carranZa doubtless would be
permitted 10 board an American
warship IL he wished to leave Mex
leo to be landed at Havana or some
port in the United States. The
probability of his making a stand
at Vera Cruz, however, is being
considered seriously. With his gov
ernment set up on the coast he
may attempt to SOW discord among
his various opponents and thus
weaken the front against him.
Dearth Of OfhcIaI News.
No information on the situation
in Vera Cruz is available here. but
the latest reports TO authoritative
quarters are that the federal garri-
son there has revoIted and left the
city, while the state government
has been moved from Cordoba, the
capital, to the city of Vera Cruz.
