MEXICAN REVOLT
GOVERNMENT STATE CATHOLIC ARCHBISHOP .IN CHARGE-. ALLEGATION DENIED BY FRIENDS. MEXICO CITY, Jan. 18. The Government insists that Francisco Jiminez, Catholic Archbishop of Guadalajara, is in the field personally leading a revolutionary army of 500 riflemen in the State of Jalisco. On the other hand, the churchman’s friends declare he is in no way responsible for the uprising, having fled from Guadalaraja a fortnight ago, fearing arrest. Whichever report is correct the Government is extremely concerned at the seriousness of the situation, fearing that the flame of the rebellion will spread throughout the entire district. The War Department lias ordered that reinforcements he entrained with order to ruthlessly crush the rebels. The newspaper Elsol declares that the Archbishop flooded Jalisco with seditious literature, and is making real headway in the war against the Government under a banner: “Long Live Christ, our King.”—Sun.
