Aguascaliente> Is Quiet

Aguascalientcs Mexico, March f loaded troop trains have passed through here within the last day or so en route to the front, there was little in this city today to indicate that war on fair sized scale is be- ing waged only about l30 miles away.
 The streets were filled with uni formed men, well armed, and even civilians carried pistols and cart ridge belts but this is the natural state Of affairs in Aguascalentes, not situation brought about by the revolution.
 Aguascalientes capital Of the state of the same name. is center of a part of the so-called religious reNo- luton. the adherents of which use the battle cry, "Viva Cristo Del Key" Gong Live Christ, King Thus the state has private conflict all it's own and has refused 10 be greatly perturbed at what may be happening elsewhere.
 The trouble in the north has en- boldened the mountain insurgents, however. and has brought new in cursions into territory herea bouts. It was reported early today thai they had captured Nalle Calrillo, about 45 miles away.
 A group Of American correspon- dents proceeding to the front near Torreon were guests last night of the American counsul here who said that Of all the government troops which have passed through here in the last few days he had seen not one drunk or disorderl!.

poets to the revolution. General Gales ordered the large force of Federals which engaged in the cleanup at Vera Cruz 10 proceed to lrapuato, Guanajua to join with militant Agrarians there in holding in check the so-cailed religious reb- els who have menaced western and central Mexico for the last two years This force could prevent a flanking attack on the Federals by the rebels who arc now operating on the west coast should they dc eide to come inland.
 Thes" west coast rebels. govern ment reports said have been inac- tive for several days and are de- moralized by the recent string of federal victories. Their retreat has been in prepars ton. it is said. for d bolt in the direction of the Init cd States frontier when the reNolu- 'ion fually collapscs.
 All Over Girl Relic,es
 In an interview President Emil io Portes Gil expressed the most complete confidence that the rcSo- lution was practically over ana that last chance of the rebels to win in the field had passed The presi- dent appeared almost carefree. seemed quite happy and smiled at those about him.
 Another government report said that the families Of General Fran cisco Manzo and former Governor Alejo Bay of Sonora had crossed over into the United States and that other rebel leaders were sending their families and available money 70 the United States for safety's sake.
 It was announced that direct rail
 road service between Mexico City and Laredo would be resumed today as an aftermath Of the recap,ure Of Saltillo. AS long as this city was held by the rebels a o4-hour detour by way Of Tampico was necessary. IL was said that federal troops had captured nine locomotives and 6o cars Of supplies and ammunitions from the rebels fleeing from Saltillo i 10 Torreon. This was presumed 10 be part Of the rebel loot at Mon- terey and Saltillo.

Federal Drives Increase

NeAlCo llty, Marcn lf.-NFt- lle drive designed by the Mexican gov ernment 10 break the backbone Of the revolution in the north gathered momentum today.
 The federal columns moved re- lentlesslv from eastern Coahuila upon Torreon. held by the principal rebel army under General J. Con- zalo Escobar.
 Retreating rebels resorted to skirInlshinc and desul'ory fighting 10 harass their attackers and some casualties were reported. Generally speaking their principle concern 10 reach the comparative safety at Torreon however
 One hundred and fifty miles 10 the south of Torreon General Gales moved his hcadq quarters 10 Trio, Zacatecas. near the Durango border. to direct from there concentration Of the huge federal army which he relied on to take Torreon and smash the rebellion with decisive blow.
 There were indications that if the rebels choose 10 defend their strong hold it's capture may be more dim cult than some of the more optimis- tic have anticipated. The city is in the center Of hilly region afford ing fine natural Qualifications and. if properly defended, might resist a strong assault or some time.
 Forces of General Gales engaged in subjugation Of Durango fought with a small rebel force about half way between Canitas and Durango City yesterday and killed II rebels and wounded about 70 others.
 Seven Prisoners Executed
 Seven were taken prisoners and and executed.

The rebels rear guard was west Of Parras.
 Troops Of General Andrcu Alma gan and General EuIogio Ortiz ad- yanced toward Torreon from Satllo and Monterey along northern route, capturing the pUebla Of IIipolito. The column of General S7'' ,, CoJillo followed the highway from Saltillo toward Torreon. thus making better tim" than if it relied upon the railroad which vas greatly damaged in the rebel retreat.
 From southeast Of Zacatecas Con eral LaZaro tdrdenas led q column toward the rebel stronghold, Re ports of his defection 10 the rebels who said they were rebel prepagan- da designed to mislead people and advance the interest of the lost cause"
 Gales Uses Strategy
 Int strategy of the delay of Gen. eral Gales in an immediate attack upon Torreon is becoming evident as his campaign advances. By clearing up Durango and obtaining control or the rail head there. and by ob- taining control of the three rail lines between Saltillo. Monterey and Tor reon. he has left the rebels but one direction in which retreat is pos sible-northw ward to Chihuahua.
 Even should they choose to defend Torreon an encircling movement would take this last avenue of re treat from them. Their position has become that Of d natural and arti- fcial cul de sac from which eXtri- 'ation may be difficult.
