This, together with word from Mexico City that General Calles was headed for Culiacan, Sinaloa, to take personal command • of a drive northward into Sonora, the heart of the rebel country, indi cated the principal theater of war has been shifted to the west. At lev.st two important obstacles appeared in Escobar's path. The first was the uncertainty as to whether his main army would be able to enter Sonora before inter ception by federals. Forces from General Cardenas also were re ported to be heading toward Pul peto Pass, through which Escobar’s rebels were expected to enter Sonora. The second was the fed eral garrison at Naco. Sonora, on the Arizona border east of here. Less than 1.200 loyal federals under General Lucas Gonzalez have held thfe Naco fortifications against repeated attacks by the rebel gen eral Fausto Topete. Federal pos session of Naco constituted a foot hold which the federals might use as a base to the rear of the rebel army in the event the revolution aries meet Calles forces in south ern Sonora. REBELS NEAR PRESIDIO TO FIGHT EX-MATES PRESIDIO, Texas, April 9.—(IP)—. Mexican federals, rebels until they killed the insurgent commander at Ojinaga. across the border from here, and took control of the town in the name of the government, peered toward the rough country to the south today where a band of rebels was reported moving on Ojinaga. The counter revolutionists, about 150 in number, felt little alarm e.s they gripped the rifles and machine guns they wrested from their for mer comrades. They had moved quickly after killing Lieut. Col. Raul Cardenes. the commander, and Captain Quintanilla, one of his aides. The avenging contingent was feared to be moving up from the San Carlos and San Palvo sectors, about 40 miles south and east of Ojinaga. Should the invaders actually arrive, they were not ex pected before dusk or early tomor row. due to the difficult march be tween them and the border Meanwhile, about 50 federals to re inforce Ojingaa were expected soon. Presidio felt little concern over the situation. Sunday’s battle, al though bullets dropped frequently into Presidio, did no damage on the American side, and a U. S. cav alry contingent here was prepared as before, to remove Americans from the danger zone. PERSONALS Mrs. R. C. Tips, and Mrs. Kern Tips, both of Houston, and Mrs. H. A.
