PROCLAIMED
PROTECTION
TO FOREIGN
INTERESTS

The state of Sonora, yesterday is
sued proclamation, rehearsing the
causes leading up to the severance
of relations with the central govern
nent, and ending with a declaration
Of protection to all parties doing
business in the state
The declaration was couched in
strong, forceful language, and placed
the blame for the break directly on
the shoulders of the central govern
ment, reiterating former statements
that the state was acting only in
defense of its sovereignty, which
would be violated by military in
vasion on the part of the central gov
ernment.
We regret that space forbids the
publication of the entire proclamation,
and will confine ourselves to the
quotation of part of article "q",
which is of especial interest. to Amer
leans and other foreigners doing bust
ness in Sonora.
"The government and the people of
Sonora are within the law in the de-
tense of their sovereignty against the
attacks of the federal executive.
They are complying with the solemn
obligation which the political con-
stitution of the state imposes upon
them; and with this concept the
signers, all genuine representatives
of the people of Sonora, declare
solemnly that Mexicans and foreign
ers will have in the state the full
protection of the laws. There will be
no forced loans, nor other arbitrary
acquisitions; but there will be given
every possible protection and facility
to the industries, to the commerce
and to all business in general.
"Any attempt of abuse committed
by the military or by civilians with
in the limits Of the state will be pun
ished energetically; and last of all,
the authorities of the state will hear
and do their best to rectify within
their respective jurisdictions all
claims presented to them"
The proclamation is signed by
Governor de la Huerta, by Secretary
of State Flavio A. Borquez, and by
all the members of the legislature.

C 0 N C R { SIS

The special committee of the ma
tional congress at Mexico City, has
authorized president Carranza to an
swer the. message of the Sonora leg
islature of April 9th. The message
denounces the request of the Sonora
government as unpatriotic, and main
tains the right of the central govern
to send the troops under General
Dieguez, which it claims are needed
for the pacification of the Yaqui
Indians.
The following message received
here yesterday by Consul J. M. Ar
redondo, of Douglas tells in plain
words the attitude of the central gov
ernment. Coming, as it does, after
the Sonora government has severed
relations with the Carranza govern
ment, it can add nothing to the situa-
tion, more than to emphasize the fact
that the differences between the state
and national government seem to be
such that the break was inevitable
sooner or later.

DISCLAIMER OF
REPUBLIC

In another message sent to No
gales, Governor de la Huerta en-
phasizes the fact that the state of
Sonora does not consider its act of
severance of relations with the cen
tral government as secession, that
the state is not separate republic,
but will defend its sovereignty to the
last ditch. The message, which fol-
lows, also explains the much mooted
question of the gunboat Guerrero,
and the side her commander has de-
cided to take in the split between
state and national government.
Hermosillo, April Is, 1920.
Carlos Felix Diaz,
Nogales. Sonora.
I request that you disabuse the
ideas of all newspaper who print the
falshehood that Sonora has been
constituted Republic. The state of
Sonora continues to be an integral
part of the Mexican Republic, and
only defends itself against the cen
tral government aggression, which
pretends to upset the civil govern
ment of the state in order to establish,
military regime with the object Of
violating the vote of the people in
the coming presidential election.
Hirman Hernandez, commander of
the gunboat Guerrero has erroneous
ly informed the central government
that M. de la Lave commander of the
battalion of marines formerly sta
toned in Guaymas is held prisoner in
Guaymas by the authorities of So
nora. Such information is complete
ly untrue. De la Lave came to Her.
mosillo on invitation of the govern
ment of the state for conference
and to ascertain the purpose of the
localauthorities; and while he was in
Hermosillo, the commander Of the
Guerrero Hirman Hernandez fled
away in a cowardly manner, leaving
behind him on shore de la Lave, who
is now enjoying every possible pro-
lection, and not only him, but sew
eral of his companions.
Please transmit this information

if possible to the press of Mexico.

THE BEST WAY
FOR DEFENCE

If the central government of Mex
leo had an idea that the people of So
nora did not intend to back up the
stand taken by their governor and
Congress, such idea must have been
thoroughly dispelled yesterday, when
the forces under General Angel
Flores met the troops from Sinaloa
who under the command of General
Carrasco were advancing against the
state. The Sinaloa forces were routed
and a large number of prisoners,
with considerable war equipment
taken. San Bias was taken after a
short fight, and the victorious Flores
with constantly increasing forces
gathered from the people of Sinaloa
is now marching toward Culiacan,
the capital of the southern state.
The above statement at least is
true if message from Hermosillo are
to be credited, and the fact that
practically the same information
came over the railroad wires direct
ly from San Bias, with which COM
munication had been reestablished
should be very strong confederation
OF the claims made by the Sonora
authorities.
The following messages coming
from Hermosillo give the report sent
out by the state authorities.
