LED IN PRESENT REBELLION
Provisional President Plans to Reinforce Sonora Federals — Guaymas Fight Resumed.
    MEXICO CITY, July 3.— Federal troops put to death to-day Gen. Ambrosio Figueroa, who obtained great prominence in the southern States in Madero's revolution against Porfirio Diaz, and who afterward was in the army as commander of the Rural Guards. He was captured by Huerta's soldiers in Iguala de la Independencia, in the State of Guerrero. The news of his death was sent here in a telegram from the headquarters of Gen. Juvencio Robles, the Federal commander in Cuernavaca. Figueroa, with his brothers, had taken a leading part in the rebellion against the present administration.
    Provisional President Huerta purposes to send from Manzanillo two boatloads of reinforcements for the Federals fighting the rebels in the State of Sonora. A part of the men will be dispatched to Guaymas and the remainder to Punto Lobo, with the object of reaching the town of Altar.
    Fitzgerald Slocum, a correspondent for a Los Angeles newspaper, has been ordered exiled from Mexico under Article 33 of the Constitution, which provides for expulsion of "pernicious foreigners." Slocum was taken to Vera Cruz under guard in the night, to be placed aboard a steamer for the United States.

    DOUGLAS, Ariz,. July 3.— Fighting was resumed this morning at Guaymas, according to official advices from Hermosillo, this making the sixth day of the battle between the Federals and Constitutionalists. The rebels asserted they were in control of all except the central part of the city.

    EL PASO, Texas, July 3.— No effort is being made by the Federal commander in Juarez to retake the towns of San Ignacio and Guadalupe, captured yesterday morning by the rebels of Toriblo Ortega's command. The rebels have established headquarters in Guadalupe, which is forty miles from Juarez, and announce their intention of holding the place until Pancho Vila arrives with his force to attack the border town from the west, when they will move in and attack from the east.
    Hospital arrangements have been made jointly by the military authorities at Fort Bliss and the Red Cross chapter of El Paso to care for the wounded.
