CONFISTICATION OF PROPERTY
OF CHIEF REBEL LEADERS
ON THE PROGRAM
MEXICO CITY, March 12, (/P)— *
Stiff opposition to the enveloping
of the federal advance appeared j
likely as rebel troops concentrat
fc ed heavily at Torreon to meet the ;
* northern drive of the federals.
General Calles, General Alma- i
zon, federal commander at Mont- j
erey, announced they were plan- |
nlng an advance on Saltillo with '
an army of 10,000 In an effort to j
drive back the insurgents on their j
Torreon base.
Government officials generally '
expressed the belief that the reb
el movement will disintegrate rap
idly as federal forces approached
but the revolution leaders gave
every indication of putting up a
strong fight and general resis- ,
tance.
In Sinaloa the insurgents are
continuing a cautious advance j
down along the Southern Pacifjc
railway toward Mezatlan where
2,000 federals are strongly en
trenched.
The government announced its
intention to confiscate the prop
erty of the chief rebel leaders,
Generals Cruz Manzo and Aguirre,
as well as that of Governor Faus
to Topetc of SonoraT These prop
erties are valued at several hun
dreds cf thou ands of dollars.
