for his shovel and brandished it threat

that: he closed in without hesitation
and got the fireman by the throat, pro-
ceeding to shake the breath out of his
body with the greatest good will and
dispatch. In the course of this enter

cab platform, trod on nothing, and

General With His Troops Called

Aguas Calientes, Mex, Nov. %. -
Mexico City has been in the past few

GENTLY close to the capital to ope1

Mexico City has been in a state
of terror for the post two weeks, with
frequent rioting, accompanied with
bloodshed and by wholesale confsca
lions of potable property, footing OF
houses and stores and open robbery
of people on the streets.
The blame is laid at the doors OF
the Constitutiona,ist soldiery who
knowing that they were soon to leave
the capital, gave up all pretense OF
maintaining discipline and order.
On Friday the diplomatic represen

renowned all relations with the Car
rama government, appealing direct
to General Lucio Elanco to safeguard
the city.
General Blanco, having previously
renounced the Carranza government
and announced his allegiance to the
new provisional government of Pro
