Yaquis Move Against Ojeda — American Ships for Guaymas.
Special to The New York Times.
    LOS ANGELES, March 19.— Dispatches from Mexico City to-night told of the alleged discovery of a plot in the Palace Guard to assassinate Provisional President Victoriano Huerta and included a rumor that the authorities of Monterey had agreed to surrender that city to Gov. Ventistiano Carranza, leader of the Constitutlonalistas. The report that Palace Guards had combined to kill Huerta, it was asserted, resulted in many arrests and three deaths under the Fugitive law. It was added many policemen were suspected of being in league with the supposed plotters.
    Confirmation of the rumors was not obtained.

    NOGALES, Ariz., March 19.— Six hundred picked Yaqui braves, with four machine guns and two field pieces, left Nogales, Mexico, to-day on a special train bound in the direction of Naco, where Gen. Ojeda is in garrison with the only remaining force in Northern Sonora. Gen. Obregon, commander of all the insurgent State forces, is expected to follow and take command against Ojeda.
    American refugees continue to arrive here from Guaymas, where Federal forces are mobilizing. Arrivals to-night reported activity of Mexican gunboats up and down the Gulf coast. The United States cruiser Colorado remains in Guaymas Harbor.

    SAN FRANCISCO, March 19.— The cruiser California sailed southward late today bound for Mexican waters. She carried 400,000 rounds of rifle ammunition and complete equipment for shore duty, including camp outfits. At San Diego the California will await the arrival of the Maryland, now coaling at California City. The two will go to Guaymas, where the flag of the Admiral of the Pacific fleet will be transferred from the Colorado to the California. The supply ship Glacier has sailed for Mexican ports with stores for the cruisers Colorado and South Dakota.
