Vera Cruz, Mexico.-The revolt OF
Gen. Felix Diaz, nephew of the exiled
president, has been short lived. The town
Of Vera Cruz, which he occupied with
about 1000 adherents for several days,
was captured by the federal forces. Two
federal columns commanded by Col. Jim.
inez Castro and Gen. joaquin Beltran en-.
tered Vera Cruz from the north and
south.
There was slight opposition to their
adyance-Col. Castro with less than fifty
men capturing Gen. Felix Diaz, whose
three hundred men at police headquar-
ters refused to fire at his command.
The revolutionists in the barracks say
they viii hold out until the last man is
killed. However, the weaker spirits
seem to be trying to escape. The killed
and wounded number less than one hun

No foreigner was hurt. Desultory

branch roads running up minor val
leys and circling hills which, sheltered
outlaws and desperadoes.
This fine work was executed be-
tween the years 1893 and 1901 by reg
iments Of Highland militia. With the
exception Of the level in one valley
called Glenmacnass the engineer was.
not enabled to take advantage Of a
single vale. AS a rule the glens In
these mountains run from east to
west, while the direction OF the road
is from north to south, hence the
latter keeps for nearly the whole dis
lance a solitary mountain course at
the height Of 1900 or 1,7OO feet above
the sea and but seldom descends to
any Of the valleys
The road was most skilfuIly en-
gineered as regards gradients In order
to render it passable for artillery.
There are but few parts Of 1t which
are not rideable by the cyclist mount
ed on a machine equipped with three
speeds. That the work was effected
in the most durable manner is clear
from the fact that although very little
has been spent on maintenance during
the last half century, the road still
presents through boys and morasses
a smooth and level surface and a sub
stratum perfectly strong and we'd
rounded.

Miles Of Each Other,

London.--After a four days heavy
battle the Bulgarians are resting The
Bulgarians have not yet decided whether
they will attempt to capture Adrianople
by assault or to starve out its garrison
by siege. The full extent of the Turkish
disaster at Kirk-Kilisseh is still un-
known, but it is almost certain that the
bulk of the garrison there effected re-
treat before the town fell into the hands
of the Bulgarians.
It is reported that 5000 Turks were
killed near Kumanova.
The early capture of Kirk-Kilisseh was
a great surprise even to Bulgarian staff
officers and their allies, and the swift
progress of the war was unexpected by
Europe generally. 1t has been now nine
days since Turkey declared war and yet
events have marched to the point where
the possibility Of intervention by the
powers already IS talked OF.
Muet interest centers in the nature OF
the alliance Of the Balkan states. It is
said on good authority that one Of the
provisions of that alliance is that no
one state shall conclude peace without
the others agreeing to do so.
Details of the terrific battle between
the Bulgarians and the Turks at Kirk
Kilisseh are still lacking. 1t is said
that the Bulgarians expected the fortress
to hold out longer, and its fall within a
week of the opening Of hostilties is con-
sidered by them great achievement.
Even after the fortress was overcome
by the fire of the Bulgarian artillery
fierce fighting took place in the streets Of
the town.
The Turks, on their part, declare the
evacuation of Kirk-Kilisseh was "stra-
getical retirement"

FINE IRISH HIGHWAY
Is That Constructed Through the
Wicklow Mountains.
Built by Lord CORVALLIS After the
Suppression Of the Rebellion Of
1898, II Passes Through Re-
markedly Pretty Country.

Dublin.-There is a wonderful Irish
road which If it existed almost any
where else would be far more familiar
to tourists than 1t now 1t. Motorists
are beginning to find it, however, and
before long "the Irish Simplon" will
be as famous as It deserves to be, for
the grandeur of the scenery through
which 1t passes is hardly surpassed In
the British isles.
Every schoolboy has read Of the
roads constructed by Marshal Wade
to facilitate the pacihcation of the
highlands Of Scotland after the Ja-
cobite rising Of 1715, says the English
Queen. Wade employed 500 soldiers
in the work, who received sixpence q
day extra pay and whom he facetious-
ly termed his highwaymen. Few II
any histories, however, record the
fact that similar works were under
taken in Ireland in connection with
the suppression of the rebellion Of
1898. The most remarkable Of these
Irish military roads trayerses the CEN
trail line of the Wicklow mountains.
Until the close of the eighteenth
century there were only three passes,
Wicklow gap, Sally gap and Glen
malur, by which the retreats of the
great Wicklow chain could be ap-
preached, and each was almost inn
passable. After defeat in the open
field the rebels of 'SS retreated to-
these wild Businesses, where for sew
eral months they detied the efforts OF
the government to dislodge them.
Sovexatious and formidable did this
mountain warfare become that the
idea Of taking a leaf out Of Marshal
Wade's book suggested itself to the
lord lieutenant, Lord CORVALLIS. He
ordered the construction of what is
known as "the Great Military road"
in order to lay open the most inacces-
sible tracts. AS 1t was deemed ex-
pedient to station troops at certain
strategic points four extensive bar
racks were erected upon the road.
The main road begins four miles
south of Dublin and terminates in the
southwest of the County Wicklow.
The distance between the two extrem-
tiles as the crow flies is about 30
miles, but owing to the spiral wind
ings round the contours Of the noun
tains the total distance trayersed Is
much greater. In addition there are
