Despite this delay In opening the
cptfco negotiations, Mudcro seems to

activity Is Increasing dally In Sonorn,
Coahllta and Chihuahua states, tho reb
el chief apparently believes he ca,i con"

here, however, fear that If a Dlas-Mn-dero
aKreeinent Is not soon reached tint
situation will bo beyond tho grasp of the.
provisional president and that Interven
tion will bo the final result of the re
bellion. Diaz May Retlro.
Abram Gonzales, tho provisional gov

--upon an agreement for tho partition ot

not much comment on tho caso heard on

crlmlnnl trial in which tho prosecution
will Book to show tho guilt or tnnoconco
of tho accused men." Ho said ho would

that any venireman's expression of op
