Mexico City. April o6.-The ievel-
opments of the last two weeks RESULT
ing from the Sonora revolutionary ;,c-
tivities show that the central govern
ment is preparing to encircle the re-
belliOus state with Il steel ring mean
while crushing sporadic outbreaks in
other parts Of the republic With !,
strong hand.
\ summary of these activities in VII
riouS sections of the republic since The
northern state broke with the Car
rama administration. together with the
results of the governments military
measures. has been issued by thu. war
department officials. two weeks after
the open break between the uhreyn,l-
iStaS and the administration. and is,
cited as proof that the government
official statement characteriziny the
Sonora outbreak as merely LEGAL. is,
we'll founded. The long list of pro-
fessions of adhesion to the central
government from virtually every state
executive and military leader. except
those who have openly joined the So
nora revolu1ioniSts. would seem to in-
,licate that the republic rs II whole is
solidly supporting the present govern
ment.
Aside from the Sonora state govern
ment only two state executives have
repudiatel the present administrations
these being Gen. Enrique Estrada. in
the state of ZacatecaS. and I'a>cuai
NORTH RuhiO. in the state of Mi,hu-
acan. These executives. however have
: failed to attract any great following
and are being pursued by local forces.
