The direct wires, both federal and railway, between Mexico City and Cuernavaca were cut yesterday.
 Messages filed as late as o'clock made no reference to serious fighting in the neighborhood of the state capital, but special dispatch to Imperial, filed shortly after noon. indicates that an early attack upon the town would be no sur prise.

In anticipation of an attack, said the impartial cor respondence, many government troops were being concentrated in Cuernavaca- The net result of the fighting north
 west of Cuernavaca since Thursday night. according to army officials in Cuer-
 navaca are:
 Federals 22 killed, B wounded and
 missing Zapatistas, between 200 and 2oo killed.
 In all but one or two of the many engagements the Zapatistas were forced
 to retire, but as a body they hold rela- | lively the same positions they did. The nearest engagement of importance to Cuernavaca was that yesterday of 4eo | federals against 700 Zapatstas five miles north of the city. The Zapatistas were forced back.

 You have got to take life as it comes the aged uncle said. but Mcfarland made no reply. He turned to the officers who handcuffed him and led him to the jail.
 The verdict came as a surprise. It had been rumored all through the evening that the jury was either hoplessly divided CT that all but one 5uryman favored ae- quittal
