Saves Lives of Over One Hundred
Federal Officers.

Zacatecas, Mex, June 27-One
hundred eighteen Mexican federal
army officers of various grades were
marched out of their prison enclosure
under heavy guard of Constitutional
list troops, taken to the plains east Of
the city for the customary executions
and then were astounded to hear from
the lips of General Pancho that their
lives were spared.
The old Aztec law of Mexico was
overturned An invariable custom
was cast aside. General Villa sought
to prove to the world in an effective.
though dramatic way, that he is be-
coming civilized.
The effes on the rigid line of fed
.eral officers was instantaneous. Some
wept. Others buried their faces in
their hands. Some gazed in an ap-
parent daze at the firing squad, stand
ing with rifles at rest Even the reD-
el soldiers were nnprepared for VII

Italy of 14n. and in Hungary of 1870.
There were 29S, 100 marriages In
