(COntfnued from Page One) his casualties had been great. Alto gether, he says, he withstood sS at tacks by the rebels.
 Gen. Genevevo De La O, the most important of Emiliano Zapata's com manders, has, according to refugees, cast in hts lot with General Huerta. With 1000 of his men he has taken up quarters in the federal barracks at Cuernavaca. Zapata himself is be- lieved to be holding out until General Villas forces approach the federal cap ital.
 Many Eplisted<n .Ass
 During the tsrst Excitement in Mex leo City .oyeH the American occupation of. Vera Cruz many of the better ele- lment of the population enlisted in the regular army. On the first day 5000 are said to have been enrolled Among them were S6 members of the Jockey club, who long had been criticized by the native press for their apathy re- garding the progress of the revolution The enthusiasm among the populace soon abated when 1t was feared that some of those enrolled had been sent north to fight against Villa while the government withheld arms from all ex- cept those sent against the rebels. Refugees spoke today in compliment | tary terms regarding the conduct of Eduardo Iturbide, governor of the fed | eral district, who has been untiring | in his efforts to secure the safety of Americans. During the exciting days when mobs were marching through the streets of the capital he at vari- | ous times held the crowds in check when they appeared on the point of attacking Americans On one occa- sion he opposed his authority against that of Jose Maria Lozano, minister of public instruction, who was leading a mob.
 Others to Come
 Tomorrow's train from the capital to Puerto, Mexico, will. according to refugees, carry TO Americans from Guanajuato and 90 from Aguascalien- tes They say there are still 400 or | 800 Americans in the capital and at other points in the interior, but that no opposition is being made to their departure.
 l Military aviators sent out to observe the district around Vera Cruz beyond the line of American outposts are said | to have discovered the locations of about 800 Mexican soldiers holding scattered positions. A careful watch is being kept on San Francisco bridge. about 25 miles out on the interoceanic railroad, the aviators making daily flights in that direction.
 1 The military situation in Vera Cruz | Is unchanged, but rumors of the pos sibility of an attempt by Zapatistas to strike at the American outposts have caused preparations to be made to meet any such movement.
 1 On the approaching naval pay day 1 it is estimated that $500,000 in gold will be distributed among the men and steps to prevent extortion of the en- listed men will it is thought, be taken by the authorities.
 1 It was stated today that General Huerta had agreed to permit a group of American mine owners to move out of Mexico approximately $5,0O0.00O of gold bullion and had promised guard to any port they might select

Vera Cruz, April 3.-Via Galveston. Tex. May 1.-The first fruits of the les sons of the Spanish war have. been made evident by the military occupation of Vera Cruz by American forces.

LOCAL LEGISLATION
CONTINUED from Fourth Page)

above Mr.. Meffert's proposition of
not less than $4,000 per year.
With reference to the proposition
of the Ocala Manufacturing Co. you
viii note. proyldIng the specifications
are made satisfactory to the ocala
Manufacturing Co. that it intimates
it will furnish electricity to the city
at &c. per k. W. h. up to $4,000 k. W.
hours per calendar month, and, for
1s C. per k. W. h. for all current used
in excess of $4,000 k. W. hours per
month.
The Florida Power Co. intimates,
providing the specifications are made
satisfactory, it will make price OF
&c. per k W. b. for current delivered
at the city's switchboard.
Judging from these two PROPOSE
lions, therefore. we believe the city
could count on purchasing power at
from n c. to &c. per k. W. n. deliv-
cred at the switchboard.
As a result of our investigations
we have come to the following con-
clusion:
l. That electric current is cost
ing the city about 3 loo. per k. W. h.
delivered at the switchboard.
2 That with an oil engine the
city could probably produce electric
fty at a cost, including interest and
depreciation, of / Nc. to PFC. per
k W. h., depending on the average
load factor.
3. That on a steam plant the
city could probably hope to produce
electricity at cost of from lac to
2ac., also depending on the load
factor.
4 That if the city builds a plant
it ought not to have "a capacity of
less than 500 k W. hours and that
whether such a plant was a steam
plant or one operated by an oil en-
CINE, the cost Of producing same dur
ing the first three years, or, until
such time that the city could sell
more than 500, 900 k. w. hours per
year and the load factor went up to
about 20 20, would be from &c. to
2 &c. per k. w. b.
4 ). That the city can probably ar
range to buy power from private
4 parties delivered at the switchboard
for at from 1 q c. to &c. per k. W. h.
Your resolution did not request
this committee to make any specific
recommendation but, simply to in
i vestigate cost and to report, which
we have done. We beg to take this
opportunity, however, to impress
upon you the fact that both the e'Ac-
trio hight plant and the water plant
are not only loaded to their full ca
Daeity. but, are really greatly over
loaded. It is absolutely necessary
that the city build new water
works at once.
It is also absolutely necessary
that the city either increase its
present electric light plant, build a
new one, or purchase power, and il
is necessary to take some aetion in
the matter promptly.
We respectfully request, there
fore, that your honorable body de-
eide whether you want your com.
mittee to increase the capacity of the
old electric light plant or build q
new municipal plant, or enter into q
contract with private parties to pur-
chase electricity.
We respectfully urge prompt ac
ion in this matter.
