REIGN OF TERROR N DURANGO
Mexican Rebels, Beyond Control,

have been put in jail, stores have bee
looted and hundreds of people are Of
the verge of starvation as the result
of reign of terror, waged in thu
state of Durango and Southern Chi
huahua by band of insurrectos wh'
have heard nothing of the peace agree
ment. The entire state of Durango
with its capital, city of $4,000 PEG
pie, is at the mercy of rowing bands
who have unsettled all the regularly
constituted authorities.
The worst feature is that all COM
munication has been cut off for weeks
and the country, being non-agricul-
tural region, is without food. The
mining camps of Ganacivi, state of
Durango, are in chaos.
The first act of the insurrectos after
charging a town was to place all the
government officials in Jail. Stores
were then looted and government docu-
ments burned.
Thomas Urdina, who claims TO be
the insurrecto commander of the
Southern Zone, Twas informed that
Madero was perfecting peace plans.
He answered he would dictate the
peace terms for his territory, and the
looting continued.
In the town of Villa Escobedo, a
few miles south of here, the munich
pal buildings were burned, all the res
idents having fled to the mountains.
A previous report that all govern
ment and municipal officials in certain
towns had been killed has been con-
firmed.
Robert j. Swazie, an American
planter in Michocoan, was killed by a
band of insurrectos; his ranch house
burned and his wife probably carried
off by marauders, as she disappeared
the night of her husbands murder.
James Mcintyre, an American
miner, was held up and robbed by a
,and of Mexicans near Ahuijudla.
After they secured about 5000 from
the Mexicans decided to kill
lin and promptly filled him with lead.

physician at Colima, received word of
Mclntyre's fate.
A battle is reported at Acapulco in

lumber of rebels were killed.
