LULL m OPERATIONS.

MEXICAN REVOLUTION. fij Telegraph, — Press Association. -Uoiiyiigbt. MEXICO CITY, 11th April. Advices from El Paso, on the Mexican bord-ai, state that there is a lull in the operations in Mexico. The lebels are occupying Arizpe, in expectation of the Federal troops attacking the town. The rebel attempt to capture Zacatecas is reported to be a failure. Forty dead were discovered round the city after the attempt. [Independent of all other revolutioncry movements of leaders in Mexico, tha insuircction is now centred on a Socialistic purpose, the object being (stated tho Mexicali coi respondent of the New York Evening Post on 22nd Febiuary) the establishment of a Utopia in Lover California, which, though borii! pniid the singing oi" bullets, ultimately i=; to know no bloodshed or warfare of men or money. This assertion was made for the first time yesterday by both leaders of the insurgents, luoyva and Bertholcl. The success of tho movement admittedly depends upon tho results of tbj agitation and the support of Socialists end the Induslrhl Workers of the World. Berthold said that the aid of both organisations had been sought by him last week when he secretly crossed the line and went to Los Angeles. Leyva, the self-styled leader of the "Army of Liberation." paved tho way for a manifesto of the real object and pm-poso of the movement when he stated that he recognised no superior among the other revolutionary leaders operating in Mexico. Later, Berthold, in an interview with Captain Conrad Babcock, commanding the United States cavalry, and Mayor Rockwood, of Calexico, asserted frankly that the purpose of the movement was to establish a. Socialistic commonwealth in Lower California, where ill* man who works with his hands \ ill bd supreme. Identical sentiments weic echoed by the men of the army, a large majority of whom are Americans who claim affiliation with the I.W.W. and Socialistic organisations.]
