 Seven passengers were killed There were besides several passengers wounded. but from accounts of survivors 1t appears that the bandits shot in cold blood all of the federal wounded
 The train was halted by rocks on the track The attackers opened fire from the rocks on both sides of the train. At the first volley the engineer, a Mexican. fell dead. Fire was directed chiefly at the car containing the soldiers, who were slaughtered without a chance to return the fire with any effect. They are said to have fought bravely to the last man. When the federals were silenced the ban dits entered and robbed the dead and living. not sparing the women passengers, Of whom there were half a dozen. After the looters had ridden away freight train approached from the rear and later hauled the riddled coaches to Mexico City
 Two American passengers were unhurt. The conductor, C. F. Losing, was struck on the head with a gun and badly in- jured. Several young girls on the train who knelt and prayed during the firing, later gathered flowers and strewed them over the dead after closing their eyes and binding up their gapiny jaws. woman with an infant in her arms was robbed and insulted with oaths and jeers.

SCOTT IN ANTARCTIC
 FOR ANOTHER YEAR
Scott Party Sailed From London in 1910-Vessel Arrives At New Zealand, Leaving Members
 of Party Behind

Wellington, New Zealand, March 31.- Captain Robert F. Scotts vessel Terra Nova, which carried the British expedi- ton to the antarctic, has arrived at Akoro, a harbor in Banks Peninsula, New Zealand, but has not brought back Cap tain Scott or the members of his ex- petition. The commander of the Terra Nova brought instead the following brief message from Scott.
 T am remaining in the Antarctic for another winter in order to continue and complete my work"
 The latest news sent back by Cap tain Scott to his base at McMurdo sound showed that on January 8 he had reached a point 150 miles from the south pole and was still advancing.
 It was clear that had the explorer de- layed sending back notification of his progress until he actually reached the pole word from him could not have been received by the Terra Nova before she was compelled to leave, owing to the setting in of winter and the freezing of the Ross sea.
 All on board the Terra Nova are we'll Great disappointment was felt when it became known that the Scott party had been left behind. The Terra Nova is ex- pected to reach Littleton on Wednesday.

No Attemnt to Resume

philadelphia, March 31.-Reports from all sections of the anthracite coal region today indicate that there will be no attempt made to resume opera tions at the principal mines, pending the negotiations for a new working agreement which will be resumed in this city on April 10.
 Meetings of all the locals of the United Mine Workers in the region were held today at which the officers instructed the men to remain away from the collieries and warned them of the danger of congregating in groups.
 John Mitchell, who led the miners in 1902, delivered lecture today in Wi1kesbarre He met the mine leaders who have returned from Cleveland buc there was no conference regarding the present situation. He expressed the hope that conditions may clear and peace be restored. The operators of the principal colliefies in the Lacka- wanna region declared emphatically today that they would make no effort to operate their mines either in whole or in part until after tho conference
 Officials of the Delaware and Hudson say that work may be done in some of its washeries, but mine leaders say such work will be opposed The mine leaders say they are willing that the companies use all the men necessary to make needed repairs, but that if there is an attempt to set the washeries or collieries in oper- alton there will be no delay iE calling all the men out.
 No disorder has been reported and none Is expected. Reports from Wikesbarre say that some of the companies have guards at their collieries and more are be- ing rushed to that field, but the heads of the big collieries near Scranton say that if any protection is needed they will rely uron their under officials and office nelp to do the protecting. The miners also have offered to furnish responsible men from the ranks of the union to do guard duty, under Sheriff P. F. Conner, who has agreed to deputize them if thNy are accepted by the companies. He will not dcrutize imported guards.
 While the operators refuse to discuss what concessions they will be willing to make at the conference, sentiment
