Culiacan. SinalOa, Mexico, Nay IL
OBy Nal)-The forces of president
Nadero seem to have been getting the
best of the revolutionists all over the
state Of SinaIoa during the past week
or 10 days. This city is quite orderly
under federal rule once more, and Gen.
Ramon Iturbe with a force OF 4VO ru-
raIes arrived here from Perlcos TO-DAY
bringing Sc prisoners ana over 4UO
horses, captured from the rebel BANDS
of Franco, Vega and others. Persistent
reports generally believed here have II
that AnUuna, the worst of the lot or
the chiefs who took Culiacan, was
killed after his 40 mule loads of lOoI
from the late sacking Of Culiacan mad
been captured
the officers Of the federal forces d free
hand and they. are taking heart IN
chasing down these rObber bands call
ing themselves revolutiOnists, Zapatis-
tas, etc. News comes from the south
ern part Of the state TO the effect that
Gen. Ojeda is running down the rebels
most mercilessly.
Prisoner Hanged.
Last Friday night some time, rurales
ran down and killed a rebel at the
town OF san Pedro on the Occidental
railroad They then took the body out
to the station on that railroad ana
swung it up as q grueSOme warning to
similar evil doors, and there il hung
until nearly noon saturday. 1t was
at 10 o'clock, going TO Altata and sew
eral hundred natives, men, women and
children viewed and murmured
''pObrecitO," while the better class said
with approval. La moda de Gen. Dtazs'
OF La unica mOda"-the method Of
Gen. DiaZ, or the only method
Rebels Desert Loot.
The reTOluUlOElsts after taking Gu
surprised everybody in the state BY
leaving the city without making any
attempt at establishing a government
and then scattering instead OF march
ing on AIazatlan. Every one who knew
anything knew they were nothing but
robber hordes, but II was thought they
surely would make a pretense at es-
tablishing a government in this
capital and would try TO capture Ma
zatlan, by far the Wealthiest city IN the
state. Instead, they took all the loot
they could get Then, as each chief
was jealous of the others they scat
state Not Rid OF Robbers.
The state is far from being rid Of
them yet Small bands are still out
and are robbing some, but the people
are gradually becoming hopeful Gen.
OjadO. Gen. Iturbe, the septugeuarian
Herculano de la Roeha and other Of
ficers are doing good work. Iturbe is
winning laureIs and is no longer the
laughing stock he was up TO the nice
little night he gave the rebels when
they took Culiacan-
Culiacan is slowly, very slowly re-
covering from the late lOOting. The
citizens have been maintaining a 20
lice force and project Gomez IS dong
good work. But il Will be a long time
before business viii be normal. There
is very little money and no employ
ment Of moment here or in the vicin-
ity except at the Nelson RhOades SUI
gar factory at NaFOlatO- How the peO-
pie here are living after 1900 or 1000
men We're living and iOOting here for
10 days is a mystery.
Loot Hidden Out.
1t is really wonderl-l how success
fully some people here mid their goods,
Faluables and other property from the
hundreds Of lOOters. Quite a good many
Of the merchants have dug up stocks Of
goods tnat had been hidden and have
reOpOned their stores. The rebels took
every horse they could find in Gu
uacan, yet now nearly every public
coach is running and many private in
dIviduals have horses Many horses had
been hidden out and others have been
recovered.
DIaz Way the Only Way.
Notwithstanding this late change for
better conditions the future looks
gloomy The worst elements among
the people have got into the ancient
habits OF rObbing and plundering, of ]
which habits only PorflriO Diaz had |
broken them. There is now no Por-
urlo Diaz and the better classes of |
natives and the foreigners fear presi-
dent MaderO Will pardon these plum
derers instead of putting them up be-
fore firing squads. Nothing but fear
VIII control these people, and this is |
universally conceded by pacific Mex |
leans and foreigners At present and |
for some time to come the outlook is 4
anything but encouraging until il is
seen what the policy Of the govern |

vessel answered searchlight signals 1
and approached, standing by for some
rumors that the Maryland and two /
other vessels Of our navy are now off /

AOur or two of the BufOrd- The Of

the crew asserts that the Buford had

Hill in Mazatlan standing by for some
hours and no explanation of her stand

What Vessel Was Its
NO vessel came into the port of Ma

could not have been a cOastwise steam

out stopping, that port being the head
quarters Of all the west coast shipping
companies.
Aboard the Buford the return calls
at Mexican west coast ports are con-
sldered Of much significance by Uncle

clear out the Americans in order to be I
able TO proceed freely in the near

The Buford has no laundry aboard
In very stiff wind Despite the assist

the Buford against the pier at the
