Keen Satisfaction

The government is displaying keen sat
isfaction over its energetic campaign of
determination, Scores of small towns
have been destroyed, hundreds of families
dispossessed and many young men shot.
Since the followers of Zapata invaded the
federal district General Robles has de-
stroyed seven towns within few mi
of the capital, including Ajusco, whi 4
is almost within sight of the city. IN
these destroyed towns only the churches
were left standing, and they have been
abandoned by the priests whose congre-
cations have disappeared. Three more
towns near the capital were ordered de-
stroyed today.
In the capitals suburbs there are ar
riying daily hundreds of dispossessed
refugees from destroyed towns who carry
their personal effects ON their backs.
The followers of Zapata are more ac-
tive than ever in their campaign of de-
struction and personal outrages They
are raiding numerous villages and ranches
and subjecting their victims to torture
in the states of Mexico and Hidalgo. west
and north of the capital The government
papers describe these outrages as "the
last struggles of a wounded BEAST
Send ReinfOrcements
For some days the badly informed pub
lie believed that Paehuca, capital of Hi
dalgo, was in danger of attack, but had
been reassured by the government, which
announced today that it was sending 500
reinforcements there. Around Pachuca
are number of important mines. Amer
leans and Englishmen are preparing to
defend them.
Ell Pals reported today that there was
a greatly increased rebel movement in
the state of Jalisco. All the newspapers
today print news of the defeat of the
rebel chief. Candido Navarro, near Silao,
Oh To nf (tttov to
ously had believed this state free fom
rebels.
The state of Zacatecas admittedly is
infested by rebels but the government
expresses confidence that 1t is able to
maintain control there. Officially, con-
ditions In San Luis Potosi are reported
to be improved.
There also has been some Improvement
recently in railway communication. The
area in which actual traffic is still re-
stricted is limited to the center of the
republic.

Rebels Gain Headway

Admissions are made that the rebels
are gaining headway in the state of Sin
aloa, south of Sonora. The government
however, insists that this headway is not
important. One of the recent exploits of
the rebels in Sinaloa was the destruc-
tion with dynamite of a South Pacific
railway bridge 225 feet long.
Increased activity has been displayed
lately in the state of Morelos. where
the federal general, Juvencio Robles, has
been given free hand to destroy the fol-
lowers of Zapata.. The newspapers to-
day quote official reports from Morelos
saying the state is free from rebels at
last. These reports say >the last of them,
including Zapata, have gone south into
the state of Guerrero. Previously large
numbers moved north and now are all
most encircling the capitaLl The official
explanation is that they chose this di-
rection, the other exits from Morelos
being closed Reports published today
equally official, say De Laqo, a head of
a well organized band of rebels, is en-
trenched at LIE Petite, Morelos, and that
still other bands have been accounted for
