MEXICO CITY, July 16.-The de La
Huerta government frustrated a pro-
iected coup d'etat with capture of Gen
erals Pablo Gonzalez, Carlos Garcia
and Jose Santos who were preparing
to execute well planned maneuver
for oyerthrowing the present regime,
1T became known today.
Gonzalez who was formerly candl-
date for the Mexican presidency was
said to be the leader of the scheme
Garcia was his chief of staff and San
tos was governor of the state of NueSo
Leon, under President CarTanza. They
will be courtmartialed on charges OF
rebellion, it was announced at the war
office.
The court martial which will be held
Immediately, was expected to bring
sensational disclosures. Officials said
Gonzalez had completed his plans
within the last fortnight. The revolt
was to have been started with an at
tack on Nuevo Laredo, to be led by
General Rickardo Gonzalez for the
double purpose Of controlling the rail-
way terminal there and embarrassing
the De La Huerta government and pos
sibly bringing ON complications with
the United States, it was said.
1t was also planned to bring to-
gether all the general factions IN
Mexico. Military leaders under Car
rama and Gonzalez were taking meas
ures to obstruct the government from
the inside.
