In order to successfully refute the
libellous and ridiculous statements
abroad relative to flood conditions

practically to the outside world that

The Bulletin for one moment does
not doubt that the loyalty and great

posed by nearly every railroad In the
United States which in effect would ad-

pended by the interstate commerce com
mission today. The suspension becomes
effective July 1 and continues in force for
120 days. pending Investigation.
The new regulations not only sought to
amend the excess rates. but to prohibit
the carriage OF certain size pieces OF bag

"On and after July ] for any piece OF
baggage (except Immigrant baggage
checked at port OF landing). the greatest
dimension OF which exceeds As inches
there will be an additional charge for

for ten pounds of excess weight.
On and after July l. 1912, no piece Of
baggage the greatest dimension OF which
exceeds seventy inches. excepting immi-

The commission believes that the fix

ARDOR OF ZAPATA'S
N|E|V IS DANPE|VED
Water Coming Down From
the Clouds in Sheets Dis
courages the Rebels.

MEXICO CITY, June 6.-Revolu-
tions under ordinary conditions are I'M
comfortable, but engaging the forces
of ones own government in battle
while water is falling from the clouds
in sheets is disconcerting, according to
the view Of the 2apata brothers, who
long have been in arms against the
Madero regime.
Alberto Canas, widely known
ranchman Of the state of Morelos,
brought to Mexico City today what
purported to have been an interview
with the Zapatas from which it ap-
peared they believe the rainy season
in Mexico will make life in the field
a burden too great to be borne and
that about that time il would be well
for the reyolutionists in the south to
rest. Then, too. they are reported to
have said ammunition is scarce. The
Iapatas intimated that after over a
yoar Of fighting they had accomplished
nothing practical. But it was Cleaned
from the interview ovcrshadowing all
else was the fact that an army might
be valiant while the sun shone, but
bedraggled column is prone to al
low misery TO dull the edge Of its fight
ing valor.
Mexico City received the interview
with some skepticism, but generally
indicated a willingness to be convinced
of tho eagerncss of the Zapatas to
cease fighting even for a time.

Cavalry Needed.

The real essential, IN tho opinion of
general staff officers, is cavalry neces-
sary TO run down the insurrectos. who.
for the most part, arc mounted, IL is
believed General Monteagudo's first ef-
fort. therefore will be to increase the
number of rurales, who, being we'll
mounted are more efficient than regular
soldiers.
A disconcert1ng suggestion from an army
officer with wide Cuban experience was
that when closely pursued General Es
tenez would instruct his black followers
to break into small bands and surrender
themselves to the American marines as
signed to guard the plantations As 1t
might be regarded a certainty that Cen
eral Monteagudo would summarily hang
or shoot all insurrectos that fall Into his
hands. an American marine officer would
feel embarrassed In refusing TO uccept
the surrender OF such insurrectos.
