REBEL s MIXED ARMY
How zapata Recruited His Fol-

Every Outlaw and Fugitive From JUS

Mexico City.-When Zapata first re-
cruited his followers they told me ne
had drawn to himself every outlaw
and fugitive from justice who up 10
that time had been hiding in the More
los hills or in the vast underground
caves of Cacahuimilpa. near Guerra
vaca.
Later, when Zapata and his men
took Cuernavaca, Zapata opened the
Jail and penitentiary, and, putting a
good rife and a handful Of cartridges
into each convict's hands, he oade
them help themselves to horses Wher'
ever they could find them. AS there
are several horse ranches and rlch
haciendas with celebrated racing
studs in the immediate vicinity Of
Cuernavaca, it did not take long be

mounted on the best Of horses, as Was
here to be seen.
After the great review OF Zapata'
bandit forces, Senior Madero commit
ted the colossal blunder, as 1t turned
out to be, of paying off all of zapata'
men for their alleged services in tn
Madero revolution, without putting al
armed guard over them to see ina
they actually turned in their rifles an
cartridges before returning to thei

between Zapata's bandit norde3 ana
various expeditions of government
forces has been in full swing.
All this so-called campaign" on the
part of the Zapatists, was marked by
acts Of unbridled murder. arson and
rapine.
When the government forces re-

and the whole region become almost
uninhabitable.
The railway traffic between the cap
ital and Morelos has been brought TO
standstill since the recent hold-up
and massacre of railway passengers
and their escort Of armed soldiers
half way between the City of Mexico
and Cuernavaca, when forty persons
were killed.
Since this event several Of the rail-
way stations and bridges along that
line have been burned down by the
Zapatists, only a few hours from the
City of Mexico, so that the railway
service between the capital and the
states of Morelos and Guerrero has
had to be suspended altogether.

The result Of this was that Emiliano
Zapata simply drew the sum OF 5o,ooV
pesos set aside for himself and his
followers, without bothering to turn
in more than a few stacks OF arms,
after which he announced that he and
his men would not give any more
arms unless they received twice the
amount of the originally stipulated
sum.
After this the misunderstanding
between the newly constituted gov
eminent authorities and the Zapata
brothers grew apace. Zapata was
summoned to the capital. He came
defiantly, surrounded by an armed
bodyguard. In his brief stay at one OF
the principal hotels in Mexico City he
livened things up by shooting out all
the windows Of the cantina because
they would not serve him with drinks
after in the morning.
On the following day he and his
companions Communicated some hall
dozen city taxicabs and rode back 10
Cuernavaca, about rs miles away
After this Zapata and his men II
Morelos became quite unmanageaple
so far as the newly constituted au
thorities were concerned. Francisco
de la Barra, Mexico's president ad in
term, tried to temporize with tn
Zapata brothers for while, ate
which Senior Madero, in his capacit!
as leader of the revolution, pending
