 Fifty of the mutineers were captured and brought here. General Roias and Colonel Alatriste, with about 100 men, are being closely followed by the gov ernment troops
 The concentration of Federal troops in the capital is allaying the fears of rhe people regarding an attack on the city by Zapata. Eight trains loaded with troops arrived here Wednesday afternoon from Queretaro The gov ernment expects to bring into the city about 10000 men
 The 900 men in the advance guard of Gen. Alvara Obregon's 5000 Constitu- tionalists are at Tula, an hours ride from the capital, and the remainder of this army is near Quaretaro. 120 miles to the north, where it is assembling for a peaceful advance on Mexico City.
