The Mexican embassy declared in a
statement yesterday that the federal
troops were prepared to go into de-
cisive action against the rebels on both
the Vera Cruz and Jalisco fronts
Referring TO recent victories scored
by the Obregon forces, the statement
said:
Gen. Caraveo. commander of fed
eral troops in the state of Guerrero,
has sent to the wars department a de-
tailed report of the victory scored by
his troops at Zacoalpan over rebel
forces operating under Gen. Ffgueroa.
The losses sustained by the rebels
were heavy. both in casualties and in
the number of prisoners taken. Mes.
sages intercepted by the government
disclose that Figueroa urgently re-
quested the chief of the rebellion at
yeru Cruz to send supplies and am
munition to enable him to continue
his campaign.
Capture Three Engines.
Federal forces under Gems. Gabay
and Gasca overlook a group of rebels
at Conception Station and captured
three locomotives and a number of
prisoners.
"A large contingent of troops has
been dispatched to occupy Tuxpam.
where recently a small garrison went
over to the rebels The expedition
has orders to occupy not only Tux
pam, but the whole Of that oil zone
as well. 1t is expected that within
short time the government will
exercise control over this section Of
the country. The much more an
portant Tampico oil region has never
been threatened.
THE federal troops are prepared
to go into decisive action on both
the Vera Cruz and 'JaIisco fronts

tie.
Republic Under Control.
1.-THE remainder of the republic
continues under full control OF the

IdS TtQutSIcu the SoUSTeSS tD
withdraw from the chief executive
the extraordinary powers recently
vested In him with respect to the
War eand Interior departments, and
to leave only those relating to the
Treasury. The reason for this step
is that the federal government con-
siders the rebellion practically sub
dued.
1.-THE government continues to re-
ceived strong support from trade and
farmers unions throughout the coun-
try. many mmebers voluntarily en-
listing in the federal army.

rebel leaders are encountering diff
culties in maintaining unity in their

SUE COMP ANY
Growers in Kenosha and
Racine Counties Seek to
Recover Money.
CASES FILED In RACINE

Sugar beet growers in Racine and
Kenosha counties have filed suits to
collect notes issued by the United
States Sugar company, which were due
January 2, 1924. Payment has been
refused, it is reported.
In the circuit court in Racine on
Friday, two actions were filed against
the sugar company, by Albert Minton

be filed within few days and that
all actions against the United States
Sugar company would be joined to

The United States Sugar company
had contracted with the sugar beet
growers of Racine and Kenosha coun-
ties for the 1921 crop. Deliveries
were made, but when the accounts
came due, the company was unable
to make payments. At meeting of
the growers, held in December, 1921,
it was decided to accept the company
proposition, which provided that the
creditors should take notes, payable
in two years, in settlement of their
claims.
The notes came due January 2,
1924, but when presented for payment,
at the company's> offices in Milwaa-
kee, payment was refused, because
of lack of funds.
Growers Agree on Action.
With the refusal of the company to
pay the notes, issued in 1922, the beet
growers held meetings, for the pur-
pose Of determining what action should
be taken to protect their interests. 1t
was agreed to wait thirty days, and
then action should be brought in the
courts, in an effort to collect the
accounts.
The amount of the claims, held by
Racine and Kenosha county growers,
against the United States Sugar COM
pany amounts to several thousand
dollars.
