R|OTING
MARKED SESSION OF THE
MEXICAN PEACE
CONVENTION.
Zapata Delegate Misunderstood in
Speech and UpToar Follows.
Zapata Plan ENDORSED.

AGUAS CALIENTES. Oct. 27-fDe.
layed)-A coalition OF the DELEGATES
representing General villa and Gen.
eral Zapata practically ruled to-day's
session OF the Mexican national con.
vention. after the stormiest and most
exciting meeting the assembly had
Witnessed. For a time IL threatened
10 break into a riot.
The convention. for several min
utes. was in confusion. The delegates
reached for their revolvers. but final
~ yielded TO the becalming speeches
OF their colleagues.
The outburst occurred shortly after
the arrival of &c representatives of
Seneral Zapata- II developed that
they came not as authorized delegates
out TO learn the views of the conven-
tlon before telegraphing for creden-
tlals. They were accorded seats on
the platform. amid cheers, and their
leaders were invited TO speak. Pau.
nto Martinez described the ideals Of
the plan OF Ayala. the platform Of the
Zapata movement. informing the con.
venpon In forcible tones that IL IL were
not accepted by the convention, Ia.

- NoS SVEN an ONdllOns WD1Cn was
the first indication that the conven.
ton believed in the plan OF Ayala,
which declares for an immediate di.
vision OF the big landed estates in
Mexico.
Preeipilated Climax.
Antonio Soto y Cana. which spoke
next for the Zapatistas precipitated
climax which threatened to disrupt
the convention. The first part of his
speech. full OF flovery phrases. was
unanimously applauded but one of his
metaphors miscarried. He had COM
pared the Mexican nag to a rag and
was not permitted to finish his figure
OF speech. Indignant and angry. dele.
gates rose to their feet with menacing
gestures. The Mexican flag on the
platform was borne away by angry
delegates from the place where the
orator stood and the convention was
In an uproar at once. Some of the
delegates. with hands on their pistols
yelled at eacn other IN a mad fury.
