"__ (Continued From First Page) slon of Torreon might never be fought and that the uprising, for ail its auspi- cious beginning. might be a nearly bloodless revolution. 1t was pointed out that, with the exception of the battles at Juraez, at Monterey and & few other minor skirmishes, the revoit thus far has been practicaily without bloodshed. Gen. Simon Aguirre, brother of Gen. | Jesus M. Aguirre, has been executed at Santa Lucrecia, Vera Cruz, by Gen. Alejandro Manje. It was announced Aguirre surrendered to the government unconditionally after he had made an effort to secure immunity. He was court-martialed and shot. It was said that lesser officers and soldiers might escape punishment for the revolt, but the leaders faced severe punitive action. Another government announcement | said that Gen. Francisco Manzo, in charge of the rebel campaign in Sonora, had crossed the United States frontier and deposited $120.000 to his account in an American bank at Nogales, fore- | seeing the time when he would have (0 | live in exile. Rebel Train Bombed. Tt was said the government was with- out knowledge as to whether Gen. Manzo returned to continue leadership of his troops. Other rebel commanders were said to have sent their families | north to the United States and gov- ernment circles were jubilant in their acceptance of the situation of admis- sion of defeat. Fall of Saltillo, capital of Coahuila, took place vesterday, just prior to at- tack by Gen. Saturnino Cedillo, who made every attempt to cut off the rebels and prevent their escape. An aviator who flew over the retreating columns found five trains of troops and muni- tions, one of which he bombed. The | soldiers thus threatened abandoned their train and hid in the brush at the side of the tracks. ‘The rebel rear guard destroyed bridges and tore up tracks as the army passed, making federal pursuit on foot and by horse necessary probably retarding ad- | vance of the army of Gen. Almazan from Monterery to aid in the attack on Torreon. Every bridge between Saltillo and Encantada was reported destroyed. | The rebels held Saitillo tenaciously for a week, resisting all attack. It is an important rail center and while it was held by the rebels, necessitated detour- ing of passenger trains from Mexico City to the United States by way of ‘Tampico. Naco is Strategic Point. ¢ Naco, retaken by the federals, is re- garded as an important point which, by reason of its location between the Coahuilan sector and the west coast, would prevent reinforcing of one army at the expense of the other. As a reward for the return to the fold, the government ordered that every man of the troops which have occupied Naco and of the garrison already there be given $10. Consular agents were order- ed to provide for their food and clothing and necessities. The salaries of those who returned to the government cause were ordered started again effective yes- terday. The government also reported that the campaign on the west coast was thaping up satisfactorily through dt fections of rebels without even ex: tensive federal troop movements. The troops of Gen. Roberto Cruz, who is leading the attack on Mazatlan, were said to have established themselves at Guamuchil, Sinaloa. This is north of Culiacan and Quila, to where they were reported previously to have advanced. Aviators fying over their camp re- ported no indications of another ad- vance. Airplanes Are Useful. Airplanes have found definite sphere of usefulness in the campaign of Gen. Calles. He has had them scout out the territory ahead of his vanguard, noti- fving of dynamited bridges and torn up rails. He has a total of eight planes with his army, part of which is deploy- ing for an attack on Rurango, where there is still a small rebel force. In the statement of the President that the government has quelled the rebellion, he refused further enlist- ments in the army from volunteer or- ganizations, agrarians, etc., saying they were not needed any more. REBEL ARMY NUMBERS 22,000. Headquarters in Juares Hear of Army Gathered at Torreon. JUAREZ, Chihuahua, Mexico, March 13 (#).—An army of 22,000 rebels has been massed at Torreon for the expected battle with Federal troops commanded by Gen. P. Ellas Calles, according to unofficial information received at rebel headquarters here. | If reports as to the size of the rebel contingent at Torreon are true, observ- | ers predict one of the greatest baltles | in the history of revolutions in this | turbulent country. The army under Calles is reported to be one of the larg- est ever sent out by the government to quell rebellion. Some 3.000 more rebels, including a band of 2,000 Yaqui Indians, were re- ported on their way to the strategic to be execuled for participating in th religious laws were abolished and a moratorium on debts, interests on debts and bank deposits of 5000 pesos or more, established by & decree issued by Gen. Juan Gonzalo Escobar, com- mander-in-chief of the revolutionary forces. The decree, the first official com- munication of the kind since the be- | ginning of the rebellion, also declared | for the resolution ratified by a constitu- | tional convention in February, 1927, which forbade re-election to the presi- dency of Mexico. ‘Throughout five sheets of typewrilten Spanish, the revolution, wherever men- tioned, was termed a “renovating mbve- ment,” and attention was called to “the legal form in which the revolution is unfolding.” ‘The religious laws promulgated and strictly enforced by the Callex admin- istration were termed “undemocratic™ in the decree. NACO LOYALES AWAIT ATTACK Manzo Prepares to Close In on “Rebels” ‘Whe Returned to Federals. NACO, Sonora, Mexico, March 13.— Behind hastily constructed barbed wire entanglements and intrenchments, the loyal troops of Gen. Augustino Olachea, consisting mostly of Mayo and Yaqui Indians, today awaited an expected at- tack by rebel troops from two sides, Olachea and his colorful band, pre- viously looked upon as & part of the rev- olutionary forces, staged a coup yes- terday ‘after they had been dispalched from rebel peadquarters by Gen. Fran- | cisco Manzo to join other revolution- aries in the Torreon sector. Arriving at Naco, 12 miles south of the border, Olachea suddenly proclaim- ed his loyalty to the government and | announced that he planned to partici- | pate in an attack on the revolutionary stronghold at Nogales.

Only a few hours after this scene Lopez faced a firf | chea admitted that he had pr®fessed sympathy with the rebels and that he had been awalting a propitious moment to_come out under his true colors. Revolutionaries announced that their troops would move against Naco from Agua Prieta, Sonora, and that another dctachment would be sent against Ola- chea from the West. In the fortified trenches of Naco to- day could be seen the shadowy forms of the wives and sweethearts of the soldlers as they cooked tortillas and beans, with which to further fortity the colorful infantrymen sgainst the impending attack from Agua Prieta, which 1s 40 miles to the east, and froni Monagles, 60 miles to the west, Scores Are Barefooted. ‘The soldiers themselves, armed with Enfield and Winchester rifles, wore a variety of uniforms, many of them clad in multi-hued blankets and straw hats, while scores prepared to go into battle barefooted. Gen, Manzo, second in command of the rebel armies, went into a rage when informed at Nogales, Sonora, that Gen. | Olachea had deserted the rebel ranks and taken Naco. ‘This morning Gen. Manzo was said to have regained his composure. Frustration of the revolutionary plans in the north admittedly was a blow to their cause. The about-face of Olachea cut off Gen.
