ZAPATISTAS MAKES ATTACK
ON THE FEDERAL TROOPS

Vera Cruz. May 17.-CredibIe pri-
vate advices from Mexico City report
that the FederaIs at Topilejo, IS miles
south of the capital. were attacked
yesterday by the Zapatistas. No de-
tails of the fighting were received but
the incident is regarded as an i'm

ties here.
Topilejo has been the scene Of num-
erous clashes during the last few
months and the engagements are I'M
usually indecisiTe, since the FederaIs
never attempted to follow the retreat

that the new actiVitv there indicates
any intention Of a Zapata attack on
the capital, as the reported aoree-
ment between Zapata and Villa -
move Jointly against Mexico City is
credited here.
The attack will serve. however, to
compel Provisional President Huerta
