Mobs paraded the streets, calling
upon the inhabitants to fight with the

were recorded. Stores dealing in fire
arms were visited and unsuccessful
attempts were made to batter down
the doors. Gen. Picnic Zapata, broth

The capital police have been swept
aside SO far as practical protection is
concerned, and, although gendarmes
are seen on post as usual, anyone
wearing what approaches a military

consul general, day before yesterday
when he was compelled at the point
of rifles to carry two Zapata soldiers
about the city in a motor car flying
the British flag and almost was forced
to be an accomplice in Jail delivery.
Mr.. Thurston was taking his morn

boarded his car. After joyriding

that the state OF Georgia has the sole
