Mexicali, Mexico, March 8.—YVlth the insurgent forces in this district w^eakened by dissension, the Federals are believed to have a fu,r better op portunity for a successful attack than they had last, week. A Federal force is reported to be near Packard, eight miles south of this city, preparing for an assault on tliis j)lace. 1'he principal .strife within the rebel camp is between the commanders, Bei’thold and Leyva, on the one hand and the American socialists who join ed the movement with the object of establishing a new regime in lower California. Desertioiis that followed on the American demonstration of hostility to the two leaders has reduced the little army from 200 to less than 100 men. News was received yesterday of drastic measures taken by Simon Ber- thold to curb the activities of the American malcontents. Upon hearing oh Saturday that the Americans, who autnumbered the Mex icans, had voted to depose Leyva, Ber- thold sounded a call to arms while the secessionists were at mas» in the bull pen. He had previously secreted the arms which the Americans had stack ed. When the Americans answ'ered the call they found themselves facing the guns of Leyva adherents. "Any man who says he is a friend of Stanley will get shot,” Berthold an nounced menacingly. "Captain” Stan ley, the leader of the Americans was arrested and after spending two nights in irons, was told to cros^ the bound- ry and not return on i)ain of death. Stanley, who served nine years in the Philippines, says he will join Madero's forces. .lose Cardosa. who was chosen by the Americans to srucceed Leyva, has deserted with 45 followers. He I'ode southward yesterday saying he would join the rebels in Sonora. Berthold declares that his army will soon be augmen ed by the arrival of GOO men now organizing in l.os Ange les.

Legislatuie Ends Successful Session This Afternoon Mobilization oj Troops Matf Have Potential Influence on Political Crisis in Mexico City-Many Reports on Move ment of Army and Navy, By Associated Pess.

Practically the entire force of 20,000 men are now en route to the lower part of Texas and California. The troops are eqni])ped with ball ctirtrid.ges. although it is the invaria ble i)iactice to supply troops with blank ammunition for j)racti;e exercis es or i)eaceful maneuvers.

While this Is held to be true, tech nically, the general impression prevails that sudden extensive military activity has a vital direct relation to the rev olutionary movement in Mexico.

The statement fol lows; “The rumor that Meyico had asked, or was going to ask .Xnierican inter vention to settle its own inlernal affairs its vidis-ulous.
