CWedneSday)-P O Victorious fed
eral troops today converged on
Vera Cruz to deliver what the gov
eminent hopes to be a coup de
grace to the rebellion headed by
General Gonzolo Escobar and Gen
eral Aguirre.
Provisional President Portes Gil's
announcement of the recapture OF
Monterrey and Cordova predicted
the revolt would soon be crushed
and the city Of Vera Cruz retaken
by government forces.

OF Farmers voted to support the
government against the revolution
lists. 1t was stated that members
OF the league throughout the ma
tlon were ready to enroll in a VOL
unteer army. The government re-
celved notification of support from
another important source in a de-
clSlon by Mexico City merchants to
TX the prices Of food and necessi-
ties Tor the prevention Of profiteer-
ing.
FederalS Win SaltilIo
The governments communioue
stressed successful military action
against the rebels on both the
northern and eastern fronts. It
described General EScobar's flight
from Monterrey and the de-
feat OF another rebel leader at Goa
nuila. a further important victory
was reported in the recapture Of
Cordova in the state Of Vera Cruz
Inc communique said that Gen
eraI Aguirre, the rebel leader at
vera Cruz had lost a large share Of
MS support and that only two iso-
lated military units of revoIters e.
NAMED in the whole state of Vera
Cruz, one at Perote and the other
at Jalapa.

driven out of Saltillo, where the

governor Of Vera Cruz and l0vaI
supporter of the federal regime, is
thought to be at Paso De Ovejasa
with 1000 men. This place is 20

1t was learned in a well inform
ca quarter that part of the fees
originally supporting General
Agulrre in Vera Cruz rebelIed
against him and drove him out of

said to have occurred. The general
with a small group of followers is
thought to have sought refuge b.
putting out to sea or by fleeing into
the woods north Of Vera Cruz.
The Western Union LAND wires
between Mexico City and Vera Cruz
