troops converged from five direc-
tons this morning on Monterey,
attack which would attempt recap
ture from General Gonzalo Escobar
was imminent.
So seriously did the government
regard rebel successes in northern
Mexico and capture OF Monterey
Monday by General .Gonzalo Escobar
that large body OF troops was
taken from the Vera Cruz campaign
and dispatched to Nuevo Leon. Gen.
eral Andrea Almazan, commanding
the Vera Cruz campaign. was sent

Action Shifts to North
Thus in the space of "a hours
government efforts to quash the re-
bellion shifted from Vera Cruz,
where opening the port as an out
let to the gulf was a matter of some
necessity, to the north where rail-

Monterey will prove formidable
army. but such are the natural for
tfications OF the city bitter fighting
may take place in an attempt to re-
capture it. General Escobar has p
600 troops at the city for its de-
Tense. 1t is believed he will face as
many as 5000 federals.
The government announcement
telling of the plans for the offensive
expressed the belief Monterey would
shortly be retaken and General Es-
cobar defeated.
Against reverses in the north the
government had 10 its credit VIC
