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.
