INCIDENTS OF
 MEXICAN REVOLT

Mexico City, June 7-One of the
 exciting incidents preceding the re- volt against President Carranza was the escape of General Benjamin Hill chief lieutenant of Genera1 Alvaro Obregon, who fled from the captain
 hidden in a pile of sacks in a milk wagon.
 General Hill vanished from the cap- ital on the same night as did General Obregon April 13. The wagon in which Hill was hidden was stopped by the police in the suburbs of the
 capital because it did not carry a light. While the driver was bribing the policeman to pass the lightless vehicle, General Hill dropped out of the back of the wagon and hid in the shadow of a building until the police ! man was modified . Then the General crawled back into the wogan and con- | tinued his flight.
 Mystery surrounding the fate of Roberto Cejudo, to testify. in whose I trial General Obregon was summoned to the capital. furnished one of the 1 tragic high lights of the Carranza evacuation. With General Arnulfo 1 Gonzales, captured by Carranza gov ! ernment agents near Nuevo Laredo
 on April 30, and the aged rebel Gen
 eral Gaudencio de la Lave, Cejudo | was taken from the military prison | of Santiago Tlalteloco here the night | of May when the Carranza adher- | entS fled. Whether he was taken on l the Carranza trains the next day and | escaped or whether he was executed 1 together with the two others, remains
 mystery. None of them have been l located although several other gen. l 1c | have returned to Mexico City. | CeJuda was arrested, with his staff ] anda 150 followers. at Jalapa. V. C.. 1 on March 2S, after he had surrend- | cred, received amnesty, been given l the rank of general in the Mexican | army and placed in command of a l district near Jalapa, where previously | he had led a revolt against tht Car 1 ranza government for years He was
 charged with surrendering merely to 1 secure arms and munitions with which | to aid Felix Diaz.
 The Carranza government charged
 that he had offered to aid Obregon 1 but Obregon. in interview given l the Associated Press. branded the | CeJUdo charges as a scheme to bring | him to Mexico City, involve him ir charges of treason and block the | campaign for the presidency.
 The progress of Ygnacio Bonillas | formerly Mexican Amba dor to the United States and Carranza's candi- date for the presidency. from the 1 Mexican sem mbassy in Washington to z i camp in the jungles of Vera Cruz and back to prison in Mexico City was marked by stirring episodes. He i: reported here to have figured in z | shooting affray which occurred or
 March 2S near T1a1pam suburb O.
 Mexico City, which the papers sup
 porting his candidacy intimated wa,
 an attempt to kidnap him.
 1 The special train carrying him tt
 Guadalaj jara was stopped near tn,
 city by a missing rail. He reached
 Guadalajara safely but the inciden was the basis for numerous alarming
 reports. Then came his flight iron Mexico City with Carranza, startin:
 May ' and ending in a dash from thu
 beleaguered trains May 14.
 His good fortune saved him iron death when Carranza was slain in tn camp at Tlaxcalantongo and he wa ; brought here to be imprisoned unti
 the provisional president decided hi [; fate.
