ment created by the bullish estimates

TO October IS, caused the market up
to a net advance of ID to 20 points,

tails for the playing of the annual
football game between Mercer and
Stetson universities have been closed
and the game will be played in Way

DEATH TO BE
THE FATE OF
LEADER DIAz
OF MEXICAN REVOLUTION
To Be Shot For Crime Against
Government

Vera Cruz, Oct 25.-Two of the cap
tured officers of the staff of Felix
Iiiaz were shot by the federal troops
at 1890 last evening, after being
sentenced to death by summary court
martial. The execution was carried
cut with absolute secrecy. Their
names were Major Zarate and Major
.Cucsta.
The courtmartial began its sessions
at o'clock in the evening, and its
Judgments must be delivered and the
yeYt cts put into effect within Y
hours from the time of the meeting, ac-
cording to Mexican military law.
Major Fernando Zarate and Major
Julian Villas are pleading on behalf of
Diaz, who according to military law,
is liable to Imprisonment for from
three to eight years, or he may be
put to death.
Public opinion against Diaz, how.
ever, is so strong that it is thought
sentence of death may be pro-
nounced on him as we'll as on all the
officers and government officials who
joined his cause and were captured.
The troopers, however, who rebelled
will, in all likelihood not be punished.
Felix Diaz will know his fate tomor-
row afternoon.
Some of the volunteers who Joined
Diaz belonged to leading families Of
the city. Those of them who may be
/ captured will be sentenced to short
terms of impr sonment, but many OF
them have escaped to the county.
/ Commodore Azueta of the federai
navy called on General Beltran, the
/ federal commander last evening, be-
+ ing received coldly. Gen. Beltran told
him that he did not adopt a definite
attitude during the Diaz revolution.
/ 1t is reported that the commodore
also is to be courtmartialed. The
garrison af Vera Cruz consists of 2,
/ 500 men of al branches of the service.
The city is perfectly quiet and bus
ness has been generally resumed.
