forces under Gen. Arnulfo Gomez
and Gen. Gonzalo Hector Armada,
were reported moving southeasterly
today in densely wooded mountains
near Perote, in Vera Cruz. Federal
troops have been unable thus far to
establish contact
The government feels it is only a
matter of time before the remaining
rebel troops are overtaken and the
revolution crushed.
A report circulated in the United
States earlier in the week that Vim
cente Gonzales had been executed
in the state of Morelos was found by
the United Press today to be with
out foundation. This correspondent
talked with Gonzales over the tel
ephone at his home. s.
Deny Legislators Executed
The earlier report said thirteen
Legislators in Morelos were exc
cuted at the same time as Gonzales,
but that too, was believed base
less, the Morelos Legislature not be-
ing in session at this time.
Gonzales quit his post as artillery
chief and is being replaced by Gen.
Jesus H. Contreras.

The inter oceanic division Of the
National Railways, which crosses the

but is expected to be restored to
normal again in a few days.
Refuse Americans Request
Local newspapers print full pages
of photographs of the execution of
Gen. Alfredo Quijano, as well as de-
tailed accounts of the execution.
The only source of information
about the revolution. however, is
from the government spokesman,
General Alvarez.
The government has refused per-
mission to Maj. Harold Thompson,
American military attache, and Col.
Tanaka, Japanese attache, to visit
the battle front in Vera Cruz.
The presidents Office made off,
cial announcement last night that
Alfonso de la Huerta, brother Of
the former president. and six com
panions were killed in conflict
with federal troops at Cordan de
Canada, $50 miles from Nogales.
Slain in Battle
The government said the rebel
group had crossed the border for
the purpose of melting the Yaqui
Indians to aid the rebel leader,
Gomez. They met a force of fed
eral troops under Gen. Manuel Agu-
IRE and were killed in the conflict,
the government announced.
The newspaper FL Sol reported
that several of the highest officials
of the anti-re- electionist party have
succeeded in escaping to the United
