officials of the War Department ad
mitted to-day that the supply of am
munition in the possession of the
Government is very small. This may
hasten the downfall of General
Huerta as the Zapatista rebels are
firmly intrenched at several points in
the Federal distrffct, and by their
guerilla tactics will attempt to wear
down the capital's garrison.
Vast quantities of ammunition have
been wasted by drunken soldiers sent
out to fight the Zapatistas, but the
rebels have carefully husbanded their
supply. They advance day by day
closer to the capital, and messengers
have brought word that traitors
among the garrison soldiers w*re
selling ammunlation to the revolu
tionists.

Gomez Followers
Plot New Revolt.
ED PASO, TEXAS, Dec. 18.—The
arrert here * ‘-day of a dozen men
revealed the fact that a new Mexican
revolt is being fomented, with the
purpose of landing Emilio Vasquez
Gomez in the presidency. Dr. Gomez
was a candidate for President in the
recent Mexican election, opposing
General Huerta on the anti-election
ticket, but was compelled to flee, the
country several weeks before the
election took place.
The new uprising has the support
of General Felix Diaz. Ex-Governor
Gavou, of the state of Coahuila. ar
rived here last night from Havana,
where he was in conference with
General Diaz.
According to documentary evidence
which was seized, together with a
large quantity of arms and ammuni
tion. representations have been made
to General Pasoual Orozco. General
Ynez Salazar and other Federal com
manders at OJinaga to join the re
volt against Huerta.
Dr. Gomez is believed to be In El
Paso living quietly in some obscure
house letters seized by the Federal
authorities indicated that the Gomez
insurgents planned to strike the first
blow about Christmas following the
entry of Gomez Into Mexico at Da
PaJomas.
A committee consisting of General
Enrique Gomez, General Felipe Ca-
ceren and Major Sylvestro Quevedo
was appointed by the local Junta of
Gomez rebels to go to OJinaga and
lay an alluring proposition before the
Mexican Federal commanders. The
office of commander in chief of the
northern forces was offered Orozco
and bounties were offered the sol
diers.
The Junta has a number of circulars
printed giving the platform of the
Vaaquista-Diaz insurgents and an
nouncing that General Emiliano Za
pata has embraced the cause. The
platform calls for seizure of all lands
owned by the rich and equal dis
tribution of wealth among the poor.
Those of you who appreciate an amateur show well done,
and those of you whose greatest joy is on the dance floor, are
offered an opportunity to gratify those desires and at the same
time do your part to increase the Empty Stocking Fund, which
is going to bring Santa Claus to hundreds of poor Atlanta
children.
At the Grand Theater Friday night the students of the
Georgia School of Technology will present their annual play.
It’s Pinero s “The Magistrate” this year, and those who have
seen the rehearsals say it will be the best show Tech students
have ever stage—and Tech students have a habit of staging
something good, always. One-fourth of the proceeds will be
, devoted to the Empty Stocking Fund—and the seats will go on
' sale at the Grand Theater Friday morning.
And on the same evening—Friday, December 19—there
will be a dance at Segadlo’s Hall, on Pine street, for the benefit
f the fund, to which all the folks who know Segadlo’s are in-
{ vited to come and trip the light fantastic.
Many parties that will occupy boxes at the show are plan
ning to go direct to the dance hall. Miss Mosely will be in
j charge of the dance.
Grand Friday night.
Every clay is a good day for dress
ing Christmas dolls, which may be
