A new revolution has been expected for months. The Carratrsa government, according to semiofficial opinion here, is bankrupt, morally and financially. The utilities systems throughout the country are breaking down.

There is a disposition here to view him as the ables soldier in Mexico nnd u man wuo couiu uo much to establish order iu the country.
