against whomeyer happened TO be IN
power With his thousands OF organ
lied poems he has wreaked terrible
vengeance on the rich landowners
who stole their small farms.
One OF their most interesting ex-
PLOTS was their capture OF the cleo
trio lighting plant outside the city OF
Morelia. Zapata held II for days, and
II the inhabitants OF Morelia didn't
bring out TO him in tribute specified
sum OF money and supplies every
morning. they didn't get any electric
light that night.
BY such performances, Zapata has
likened himself 70 a robber baron or

Another regent exploit OF the Ia
patistas was the shooting up OF the
federal military train which was try
ing 10 carry supplies up to Cuerna-
yaca from the south. The train reach

downpour of bullets. During the
night Zapata's men shot up the sta
ton. The next day they continued
their attack OIL the moving train and
finally wrecked It Then they repeat
ed their pleasant little practice on
such occasions of setting fire TO the
train and shooting the survivors as
they crawled out.

brutality, sometimes shows a pleas

WOUNDS TREATED

PARIS. June 4. The use Of boil

wounds and ulcers Is not modern.
AMBROSE Pare, the master OF Frencn
surgery employed this method OF

400 years ago But such d treatment

medical discussion by the communlca-

Medicine by Or Barthe de Sandfort
who has been experimenting along
this line for the last 3 years. This
fact has been briefly cabled 10 the
sun, but the details OF Or Barthe de
Sandrort's method warrant mrther

AMBROSE Pare found that by pour

SPECIAL SERVICE sHIPs.

WinsioW's Comnaand Recalls SchIey'e
 Famous Plying Squadron"
 The creation of the special service squadron for operations in Mexican waters recalls to naval veterans the assembly of the famous flying squad ron, under the command of the late Rear Admiral Winfield Scott SchIey, in the early days of the Spanish war. In the present instance the special service squadron is made up of most incongruous elements, ranging from the most powerful battleships in the world to the tiniest gunboats.
 This squadron, starting with sixteen vessels ahd likely to be augmented to tWoscore, will be serviceabIe for block adtng- purposes, and the smaller craft will be particularly useful for inshore work
 Rear Admiral Cameron McRae Wins low, commander of the squadron, is a nephew of the Winslow who com manded the famous old Kearsarge in her battle with the Alabama In the Spanish war Rear Admiral Winslow, then heutenant, cut the telegraph cable near Santiago, Cuba, and was wounded in the hand. The cable cut ting work was done from a small boat commanded by Lieutenant Winslow Although himself wounded and the boat was subjected to a hot fire from the Spanish rifemen ashore. Winslow kept at the work until the cable had been grappled, hauled across the bow or the boat and a piece cut out of it.

Eats Freely But
 Has No Dyspepsia
A Little Pepsin in a Mild Laxa- tive Promptly Corrected a
 Bad Indigestion.

Fortunate is the one who can eat "anythfng' without suffering the tor lures of dyspepsia, but as few are so fortunate, care should be taken in the matter of diet. Eating slowly, mas ticating the food thoroughly and talk ing a. short walk after the heavy meal of the day will do much towards as- sisting digestion. Any grown-up per son ought to know the peculiar foods that do not agree, and these should be avoided.
 When these common sense aids fail, the next thing to do is to take a, mild digestive tonic with Laxative properties, and there is none better than pr. Ca1dwelPs Syrup Pepsin. It contains the greatest of all aids to digestion, good pepsin. It has other ingredients that act mildly on the bowels, which together form a com bination for the relief of dyspepsia or indigestion that is unsurpassed.
 Its action is to tone and strengthen the stomach and bowel muscles so that they can again do their work naturally without outside aid, and when that happy moment comes all medicine can be. dispensed with. It is the best remedy obtainable for any disorder of the stomach, liver and bowels, for dyspepsia, constipation, sbiHousness headaches, drowsiness af- ter eating gas on the stomach, etc. Thousands of users will testify to this, among them MT. J.W. Boucher, Sites, Idaho, who for several years had all the worst symptoms of

Vera Cruz, April 28-Rear Admiral Fletcher last night seized the piers, yards and buildings of the Terminal Go. a British owned concern, con tro1 over which he regarded as neces- sary in order to facilitate the resump- lion of the normal business activity of the city. The admiral had been endeavoring to rent the property put could not come to an agreement With the managers as to the price to pc paid.
 The management quoted a figure which the naval authorities conslder- ed exorbftant and Admiral Fletcher ended the controversy by taking ad- vantage of his powers under martial law and assuming possession or the property.
 Prior to the seizure, nigh. official of the company had British Lag raised over the water station far out in the yards in the belief that such action might prevent the Americans from taking over the property. It ayafIed him nothing, however
 General Manager Morcrnn, or tne Mexican Railway and president or the Terminal Company, called on Rear Adrniral Craddock of the British cruiser Essex and related the circunl- stances to him.

 U. s. FLAG RAISED.
 The ceremony of the raising of the Sfars and Stripes over Vera Cruz yes +erday afternoon was an impressive one.
 As a mark of special distinction for bravery shown in action Chief Guar te1rnaster Jeffs of the battleship Flor ida made the big American standard fast to the halyards on the staff erected over the Terminal hotel and Captain Frederick H.

waterway development extends over a period of more than a, quarter cen- tury and his coming is bound to stimu1ate interest in Bridgeport's own water front, and shipping connections with the entire proposed national sys- tenn.
 Mr. Thompson talks with lightning rapidity, but with such clearness of enunciation that no one need miss a word of his address. He deals very largely in figures, which ordinarily would make a. dry discourse, but as some one has expressed it. ssHe can clothe a table of statistics with the fascination of a fairy taIe.''
