Rodriguez, Jose . Pedro Mestos, with others minor rank have renounced legiance to the de facto. govern- ment in Mexico. The officers and their troops} were formerly under General dac- into B, Trevino, second in ¢om- mand to Obregon. Dispatches from Chihuahua tell of the revolt. The new rebel lead- ers are said to be in full control of the San Juan del Rio, Mazas and Laguna districts, including the suburbs of Torreon, formerly the headquarters of Trevino. They have issued a proclamation in which it is promised to give back to the rightful owners all proper- ty confiscated by Carranza. The plan of government pro- posed by the revolutionary lead- erg is, with slight modifications, the same as that adopted by the Aguas Calientes convention. General Castro, leader of the new movement, ‘formerly was a famous federal agent. Several years ago he commanded the only successful expedition ever sent against the Zapatistas. Four hundred Yaqui Indians, fiercest fighters in the army of Obregon, are pressing closely on the American punitive expedition sent to Mexico from the Big Bend, district, as the United States sol- diers withdraw to the border.
