state of Guerrero, General P. Elias
 Gales, commander in chief of the
 liberal constitutionalist army, an
 nounced here today.
 The revolution in Guerrero, he said. was more serious for the Mexican fed erai government than the movement in Sinaloa, where troops under Gen. erai Angel Flores continue to progress toward Mazatlan. The revolutioniSts from Sinaloa and Sonora plant to join with the rebels in Guerrero for the at tack on Mexico City.
 Capture of Mazatlan by the rebels, they expect, will easily lead to the subjugation of the balance of Sinaloa and rapid progress through Nayarit, which is said to be sympathetic with the Sonora cause. In Jalisco, the next state south, revolutionary forces are said to be making headway, as is also the case in Colima, where the capital city of Colima and the port of Man zanillo are objectives of victorious rebel troops. Michoacan also was re- ported in revolt against Carranza and adjoinS Guerrero.
