division, writes from lturbde that he has captured
Colonel Exiqulo Rios, second commander OF Silvas
brigade, and Lieutenant Colonel Severiano Zuhga,
another prominent leader Thev were both shot
within twentyfour hours after capture. Three other
leaders have been arrested ut Rio Verde,
one of whom is Frenchman. Orders
have been sent. to try them by court mar
