lv|LLA TAKES CITY
Of zACATECAS IN
FIERCE ASSAULT
VICTORY GIVES CONSTITUTION
ALISTS CONTROL OVER
HALF OF MEXICO
Battle LASTS FIVE DAYS
The Federal Loss is Estimated at
1000 Killed, 1000 Wounded and
5000 Prisoners, While Villas Loss
Is Said to Be Small.

Zacatecas, Tex, June 25.-The fierc-
est fighting on both sides and unus-
ually heavy loss Of life to both fed
erals and constitutionalists, attended
the fighting about Zacatecas, which
ended last night with the city's cap
. tupe. - Villas forces 1t required four
days Of b title to take the federal
stronghold Of central Mexico.
The federals, under Gen. Medina
Barron, defended their positions stub
bornly, but they finally wufe over
come. The constitutionalists soldiers
scaled hill after hill and mountain
after mountain, killing and wound
ing thousands of federa,s ad suffer
ing heavy losses themselves. So it
has been impossible to OF tain an ac-
curate estimate Of losses on both
sides. The heaps OF dead on the
mountain sides and in the city bore
testimony of the ferocity of the fig At
ing.
Gen. Villa was in the van of the
attacking party. Five members OF
j. mis- staff, accompanying him, were
, wounded. The number of constitu-
tionalist officers killed or wounded
was unusually great.
The constitutionalists in n'ny
cases had to advance on hands :4nG
knees as those beinw on the steep
inclines passed the rifles from hand
to hand. These feats were accom-
pIished under heavy machine gun fire.
Nothing seemed to lessen the deter
mination of Villas troops, though the
feGerals had thrown up trenches and
redoubts on all sides.
Gen. Villa himself gave the follow
ing account of the battle:
After four days hard attacks, to-
day was the decisive one. The enc
my, numhsaP,riipgg 14,0oo commanded by
Medina Barron adm five other gen
erals, were defeated completely by
my forces which were aided effect
lively by Gen Natera's men. Up to
this moment we have five thousand
prisoners, twelve cannon, nine trains
two carloads OF rifle ammunition and
cannon shells and nearly six thousand
Mauser rifles and a large quantity
of provisions and other munitions OF
war
"The enemy who escaped went IN
the direction of Aguas Calientes al
ter dynamiting the post office, the
State treasurers office and the stamp
revenue office building. The explo-
sions killed many of our men and
5destfeyed part of the city. The dead
of the enemy number about 1000 and
1900 wounded.
Son our part we cannot tell the
losses of the battle which lasted for
five consecutive days, but | think
there are not more than 500 dead and
800 wounded. Among the latter are
Gems. Huerrera and Rodriguez, who
are severely wounded. Our artillery
operated splendidly. The federals de-
stroyed very fort, tn last being Ell
Grillo"
The taking of Zacatecas places the
stroyed every fort, the last being Ell
much more than half of the repub
lies territory in the hands of the
constitutionalists.
1t marks another stage in the race
of three rival constitutionalist lead
ers to Mexico City.

Mixing Fruits.

When inclined to be dry or taste
less, apples are greatly improved by
the addition of other fruits. Grated
pineapples and ounces are both good
tor this purpose, but dried fruits, such
as dates. figs and prunes, can also be
used with excellent results. The dates
should be stoned and cut into quar-.
tiers before being cooked with the
apples, and the figs should be shred
ded. Prunes must be we'll washed and
allowed to soak in little cold water
before cooking, and, as apples require
less cooking than prunes they should
not be added before the latter are
nearly tender. Very little sweetening,
If any, rs required when figs, dates and
prunes are used with apples.

In the morning papers, Senator M
ton is quoted as intimating that If
the London Convention on Safety to
Life at Sea had been adopted, the
construction provisions of that Con-
vention would have prevented the dis
aster. Senator Lewis is quoted as say
ing that the Empress of Ireland
would not haye been permitted to
leave port if the Convention had been
in force. Congressman Alexander,
chairman of the Committee on Mer-
chant Marine and Fisheries, tells of
the construction provisions made by
the London Convention, and intimates
that through it's recommendations YES
sells are to be made more nearly I'M
sinkable than at present.
The Empress of Ireland was built
1906, she had all modern improve
ments, and in the construction of bot
tom and watertight bulkheads she
coses up to the provisions made by
the London Convention
The official figures of the deck crew
OF the sister ship of the Inflated EN-
press of Ireland, the Empress of Bri-
tain, are available. Out Of total of
forty-eight in the deck crew, exclusive
OF teh five officers, only twenty are
able seamen. That means ten able
seamen on each watch, two of whom
are quartermasters doing duty at the
wheel and on the bridge. two on the
lookout, thus leaving only six able
seamen for emergency detk duties.
And the vessel has five passenger
decks. That's where the trouble is.
The London Conference did not pro
vide a larger crew, nor did it provide
a more eff1cietn crew. 1t makes no
change in the deck crews whatever.
1t simply gives legal endorsement to
