Great Properly Destruction. ~
Pueblo. Mexico, June 10. via, Key
West, July 10, delaysd.-Conditions in
the region between Vera Cruz and
Puebla, sixtythree miles southeast OF
Mexico City. are greatly unsettled and
there have been much looting and de-
struction Of property. On the Inter-
oceanic railroad all stations have been
destroyed between Vera Cruz and
Jalapa sixty miles inland. In one in
stance the station agent and telegraph
operators were killed.
On the British owned broad gauge
railroad the Zapata forces are becom-
ing bolder. There has been shooting
in the outskirts OF Orizaba and Cor
doya. All trains are delayed and fire.
quently passengers, including Ameri-
cans are compelled to lie on the floors
Of cars while bandits shoot thru the
windows Of passing trains. ~
In response to the protest 0f'John r.
SillimAn, President Wilson's special
agent in Mexico. against continued
destruction Of foreign owned property.
General Carranza stationed guard at
the large American owned sugar plan
tation at Protero. Zapata troops went
TO the plantation and hanged the Car
ransa men to tree.
Altho Mexico City has been cut of
from direct communication with Puebla
for three weeks. couriers and news
paper dispatches have been arriving
here internationally. Sometimes the
messages are seized by the soldiers and
destroyed as both sides are unwilling
that news of conditions In Mexico City
become public.
+ Every city along the railroad has
been isolated from the territory back
from the line. Interruption Of the re-
ceipts of food supplies. together with
the added burden Of supporting the In
vadins troops, has caused increased
suffering among civilians.
Reports from the state Of Oaxaca,
which early In June declared Its inde-
pendence Of the rest Of Mexico until
general peace is restored. say the peo-
ple there are enjoying comparative
prosperity. The state has coined It's
own money and notice has been served
that the people will resist invasion by
any faction.
