COURT MARTIAL NAMED

MEXICO CITY, July 15.-General
Pablo Gonzalez, former candidate for
the presidency and alleged leader of
the abortive revolution in the state of
Nuevo Leon, whose capture was re-
ported today, will be placed on trial
Immediately, according to official an
nouncement.
The government has appointed Gen
erals Francisco Coss of Saltillo, En-
rique Estrada of Zacatecas, and Joa-
Quin Amaro of Torreon as members
of the court, according to the news
paper Excelsior.
General Gonzalezs whereabouts
were discovered last night, but he re-
sisted arrest, claiming those who
sought to apprehend him did not carry
warrants for their action.
The house where he was lodging
was watched all night, officials in the
meantime securing a warrant to take
him into custody. One version of the
incident states he was found hiding
in the cellar of his house this morn
ing
Wouldn't Denounce Them
Suspicion on the part of govern
ment authorities was aroused by Gen
eral Gonzalez's refusal to publicly de-
nounce the uprisings led by several
military leaders in Nuevo Leon, the
general claiming the rebellious chiefs
were his personal friends.
A dispatch to the Heraldo, says the
supporters of General Gonzalez pro
test against the government holding
him in solitary confinement and claim
this is in violation of the provisions
of the constitution of 1907. Legal ac-
ton by which he can be protected is
contemplated. 1t is understood.
Find Draft of Revolution
A draft of plan Of revolution pro-
viding for the ousting Of all govern
ment departments functioning at pres
ent was found in the pocket of Gen
eral Carlos Garcia, chief of staff to
General Pa bio Gonzalez, according to
message from General M. Perez Ire
vino, chief of operations in Nuevo
Leon, to General P. Elias Gales, sec.
retary Of war, says the Heraldo. The
project calls for the appointment of a
new provisional president by congress
when three-fourths of the states and
Mexico City are controlled by the new
regime. Frequent reference is made
to the supreme chief of the revolu-
tion," but no name was mentioned in
the draft, it is said.
General Trevino is said to believe
| this plan was to be followed by all
leaders opposing the present govern
ment. He is also quoted as saying
that he believes General Jose Santos
who has been reported arrested with
General Pablo Gonzalez is guiltless OF
rebellion, but is a victim of personal
spite on the part Of enemies.
Bridges Are Burned.
Several small bridges on the rail
road between Monterey and Nuevo
Laredo were burned during the disor.
ders in the state of Nuevo Leon, and
the line probably will not operate fol
some days.
