MEXICO CITY, Oct. 25-This city
has narrowly escaped attack by the
rebels. Jose Moras army of 5000
Zepatist rebels is in flight in the
mountains, 20 miles westward, hotly
pursued by 1000 federal soldiers. The
towns of Milpa Alta, Santa Anna, Tia.
huao and Chalco are in ashes, 100
brave soldiers are dead, hundreds Of
others wounded and 10000 persons are
homeless.
The insurrecto army was checked
at the very gates of the city. Provid-
ed with three wagon trains of provis-
ions and ammunition and supported
by machine guns and a battery Of
four-pound artillery, the rebel troops
had reached within ten miles of the
capital when the federals gave them
battle and drove them back in rout.
Couriers arriving here today told
horrible stories of cruelties meted out
by the rebels. At Milpa Alpa, twenty
soldiers in the garrison were shot
down and 13 noncombatants were
burned at the stake.

Trained Slave copyists Turned Them
Out Quick and Cheap.
There were in Augustan Rome es
tablished publishing houses which not
only turned out large numbers of
books. but many editions of them and
at an incredibly small price. That
their arrangements were businesslike
may be inferred from the testimony
Of Horace. he relates that when an
author failed to please the metropolis
the publishers shipped the entire edi
tion Of his works to the provinces. and
If he still failed as a writer they made
arrangements to bring them back again
and sell them as paper to the pastry
and spice shops.
One great firm in Rome had over
1900 trained slave copyists. and their
work was swift and cheap. for Mar
tial writes that they had ready an edi-
ton of thousa nd copies Of his "Epi
grams" in just one hour. to be sold at
10 cents a copy. The exceedingly
large reading public which all this in
dicates must have been many years In
growing. and one may assume that
Rome had long been a city of readers.
Atticus. the publisher of Cicero. had a
great many modern methods in the
conduct OF his business. and the fact
that Caesars Commentaries" were
