SURRENDER
TOMORROW
WILL SWEAR ALLEGIANCE
TO PROVISIONAL GOVERNMENT
FlNANcIERs HAVE PROMISED BIC
LOANS TO NEW GOVERNMENT
AND LOAN OF s2o.ooo.ooo IS TO
BE MADE.

MEXICO CITY, Feb. 26 - Prom
ised amnesty for himself and his Of
ficers. Emilio zapata. the most for
midable foe of the provisional gov
ernment will arrived in this city to-
morrow to swear allegiance to the
new government, according to an
announcement made by DeLabarra to
day.
After an all, pight cabinet ses-
sion it was announced today that
financiers have promised to lend an
unlimited amount to the pro-
Eisionals to establish a stable gov
ernment. The loans will be placed
in New York. The government will
borrow $20.000. 900 as a starter.
Emilio Madero was killed while
leading a revolt. Minister of JUS
tice Reyes today declared that
peace is being rapidly established IL
spite of the reports to the contrary.
Though comparative quiet prevail.
in the capital city of Mexico, an
.archy is spreading outside through
out the republic because of the slow
ness in sending troops to the re
ibellious sections. The insurgent
are looting ranches, burning build
ings. killing livestock and destroying
railroads.
1t is reported today that Emil,
Madero is still alive and leading
1000 insurgents into Coahuilla t
join the insurgent forces of Gov
ernor Garanzas. Raoul Madero, ar
other brother. is forming anothe
rebel band in Coahuilla.
Little confidence is placed in tn
promise of General Zapata to SUI
render, because he has broken hi
word so often before.

OYSTER PACKERS
RUSH SHIPMENTS
AS STRIKE ENDS
WITH FIRST CARS OUT OF
HDUMA.

While no industry was so severely
hit by the strike of the railroad en-
ployees of the Southern Pacific CO.,
than was the oyster industry of
Houma, none was quicker to recup-
crate from the effects of the strike,
The first car to roll out of Houma
brought with 1t Houma, oysters des-
tined to western points. While
some Of the packers continued to
snip by way OF Thibodaux during
the time of the strike. though at
great expense. and some made no
shipments the first day after the
strike, due to the fact that they had
STOCK on hand, others who antic-
lpated long drawn out fight be-
tween the railroad officials and the
men on the line and were unable to
get their oyster fleets in motion in
time for the first days shipment.
We're doing a flourishing business
the second day and have continued
to fill large orders ever since.
There is no doubt that the oyster
business in Houma this season is of
greater magnitude than it has been
Tor years. The demand for the |
cholce Houma oyster is growing |
every year and the demand has ey- |
ceeded the supply at times this
year. This may be attributed TO the
fact that the oysters are larger of
SIZE and Of finer quality and flavor
nan they have been since the dis
lstrous storm of Sept. 20, 1909.

Pacific Railroad Co, for the pro

| the Southern Pacific Co, through

in 1915. The plans are a distinct
disappointment to the Mayor, who
has labored very hard to obtain for
Houma a better and more adequate
depot. In a statement to the Cou-
rier during the week, Mayor Wurz-
low said positively that he would
not accept the plans as thev now
are. which appear to be nothing
more nor. less than a plan which
contemplates the removal of the pres
