Vera Cruz, Sept. 26,-General
Guadalupe Sanchez, chief Of opera
tions in Vera Cruz state, left yester-
day to confer with General Felix
Diaz, nephew of former President
Diaz, and compel him to state his
attitude, as the government wishes
him either to declare himself a
rebel or leave.
General Diaz has been at his
hacienda, San Carlos, near Nautla,
In northern Vera Cruz. He has an
escort of only eight men. 1t is
generally known he already accepts
orders from the secretary of war
and receives an income from the
government.
Emissaries of General Diaz, who
recently met Provisional President
de la Huerta and the war secretary,
gave assurances that Diaz would
remain quiet. 1t Is considered
doubtful, however, that these as
surances can be relied Upon be-
yond the time when President-elect
Obregon takes office.
1t is expected the outcome OF
General Sanchez interview will
have much influence on the posi-
ton of other former rebels.
