result of fierce lighting.

a state of unrest.
During the first engagement yesterday
Zapata himself nearly lost his life. His
horse was shot from under him.
Riots broke out again in Mexico City
yesterday, so that the capital now ls
under guard. Re-enforced police reserves
and militia patrol the principal high
ways.
Political leaders now declare that IN
the light OF Sunday riots there can be
no hope for fair election in October.
Most of them, resent the attempt of riot
ers to mob General Reyes Sunday.
Madero has announced his disapproval
of the conduct of the moDs, while Reyes
declares openly that the bayonet and
bullets are the only remsdies for such
disquiet.
Officials of the government declare
that they intend to vigorously prosecute
Zapata for the crimes he has committed
and for those committed by his men.
They will pay no more heed to any

There was great difference Of

Of the reasons against my claim for
free entrance were as vague and un-
satisfactory as the city clerks ex-
planation Of sailing boat. !, how
ever, could not accept this vague
reasoning. as did the clerks hancee.
Why do those boats the young
lady asked, sail from one side OF the
river to the other. instead Of going
straight down.?
Well. you see, said the clerk.
It's like this When the wind blows
crooked like, they have to 60 crook
ed so as to 80 straight along
