although wounded. had managed to
make their way to Yuatepec, IL miles
away. They were forced to steal
through the Zapatista lines and did
not arrive at the telegraph station
until this afternoon.
After the murderous rifle fire had
ceased the rebels swarmcd down the
hillside and set fire to the three cars
