Provisional Government Planned
Confidence was expressed in revolu-
tionary circles here to-day that imme-
diate steps would be taken by the rebel
leaders to form a new government,
either through a conference of the gov
ernors of the twenty-siX revolving
states or through action by the Mexi-
can Congress. The plan is to select
provisional President and Cabinet by
agreement of the governors or to have
the Mexican Congress elect Presi-
dent pro TEN.
In any event, it was said, the pro-
visional President and his government
would serve until the new President, to
be named at the popular election, is
Ihaugurated next December.
Those mentioned to head the provi-
sional government include Don Fer
rando lgiesias Calderon, Antonio Villa
real, Alfredo Robles Domingues and
Adolfo de la Huerta, Governor of So
nora. Nillareal already has been sent
10 Tampico to take direct charge of the
situation here, with special instruc-
tions to preserve order and give ade-
quate protection to all foreigners.
Calderon, generally referred to as
the first gentlement of Mexico" enjoys
the, respect of all classes. and is said
to be foremost in the thoughts of the
revolutionary party at this time for
Provisional President. He has beer
prominent in the political life of the
republic, although consistently declin-
ing public office. Because Of his ready
espousal of the Obregon cause, revolu-
tionary agents here believe he will be
chosen.

Villa is to have no active part in the
new government for time. Later it
is said, he probably will be made chief
OF rurales, or state police, in the states
of Chihuahua, Durango and Coahuila.
Obreeon and Gonzales. who both as
pire to the Presidency, were said to-day
to have a complete understanding. AS
en indication Of the cordial relations
between the two chief military figures
in the revolution, it was pointed out
that the Cabinet slate tentatively lyagreed
upon provides that close friend and
adviser of General Gonzales shall be
made Minister of Foreign Relations.
This leader, whose identity was not
disclosed, is said to be we'll known by
Americans and to have high regard
for this government.
