MEXICO CITY, May 2.-The city of Cuernavaca was captured by the forces of General Pablo Gonzales to- day after twelve hours of fierce fight ing.
 This information was brought to the war office tonight by a special messen- ger who carried the report of the commanding general.
 According to these advices other cities in the state of Morelos have been captured by the constitutional ists who advanced from the states of Puebla and Mexico in accordance with the general plan of attack.
 The victory is being celebrated here as one of the most noteworthy of the past three years. General Gonzales in his report to the war department says:
 "l have the honor to communicate that, after a council of war between the various generals of this division, general advance in the Zapatista coun- try was decided upon.
 Starting from Tres Marias sector at o'clock this morning. the heights surrounding the city were stormed in the early morning and a majority of the elevated points taken after a. three hours cannonading and rifle fire At 10 o'clock the advance guards were in the outskirts of the city, and shortly after entered. Some hours later the bulk of the army occupied the place.
 "A majority of the enemy surren- dered. Up to this hour we have cap- tured two e millimetere cannon. a number of machine guns, stacks of small guns, much ammunition and q powerful cannon, all in good condition. With these were taken a locomotive and number of railway cars and ma terial
 "The city's population is quiet. l have reorganiZed the public service, opened hospitals and am cleaning up the city.
 Sections in the states of Puebla, Mexico, in Guerrero, have also been advanced on and other important towns in Morelos have been occu- pied. As soon as possible I will ren- der detailed report"
 Cuernavaca had been the stronghold of the followers of Emiliano Zapata for more than three years. Situated in cup-like valley and surrounded by precipitous heights, it's defense has been easy and up to today success fully maintained by forces of southern rebels. The government has an- nounced it's intention to clean up the state of Morelos, which has been the stronghold of bandits since the com mencement of the revolution five years ago.

R|OT NEARLY CAUSED
 BY WILD FIRE HOSE
City Gardene- Much Wiser Today; Increased Pressure in Hose
 Teaches Him Several Lessons

William L. osborn, assistant city gardener. stationed at the city hall, is nursing a number of bruises today, and reflecting dubiously on the pe- cular manners of fire hose in gen. eral.
 Yesterday afternoon osborn con- ceived the brilliant idea Of irrigating the city hall lawn with a fire hose. It worked fine. in fact he hwas so pleased with lis new contraption that he was thinking about applying for a patent on it.
 About the time he was half through applying the water to the grass, fire broke our at the Hassayampa Creamery. Osborn failed to hear the alarm, or see the fire department pull out for the blaze. But one thing he didn't fail to notice was that all of sudden. his hose which had been quiet and docile became as buclSing oroncho. It twisted out of his hands, and thanks to the heavy pressure ap- piled at the pumping station, thrashed around the lawn and the street like an infuriated sea serpent. osborn made desperate but vain at tempts to capture the hose, and re- ceived various buffets and blows on several parts of his anatomy that were not at all pleasing to him.
 About the time he thought he had succeeded in reducing the hose to captivity, along came a street car and scared it out of his hands. The hose etarted after the car. took a good rap at it, and nearly knocked the motorman from his station. Passen- gers on the car became scared, and started to crawl out the windows and up on the roof and every other place that looked safe from the ravages of tho hose demon.
 Osborn by this time. due to the rounding he had received at the | hands of his pet was about all in. He had sat down at safe point of van tage, and was watching the battle ] progress. Some kind hearted person approached from the lear and sug- gested that if he would turn the
 water off at the plug, from lack o1 motive power, the trouble would | probably stop. Osborn painfully crawled to the plug. stopped the wat CT. and gathered the remains of the decided that watering a lawn with SO tempestous creature was not what it was cracked up to be.

 Fl Paso conference a broader ground has been taken than the mere ques- tion of Villas elimination. and that from raids of any sort is what is aimed at in discussions with General Obregon.
 In explaining General Carranza' s reasons for not taking immediate steps toward further cooperation in the pursuit of the bandits, his rep resentatives here have pointed to the fact that any movement of Mexican troops in the region where the Amer ican force has been operating has been the subject of instant suspicion by the American press and also of military reports to the war depart ment.
 If the American forces were with drawn, the Mexican spokesmen ar gued, the crushing out of brigandage would become matter of personal pride with the Carranza commanders, whereas it now is a matter of compe- tition and possible jealousy which itself would lead to clashes.
 Mr. Arredondo has forwarded to General Carranza report of his con- ference yesterday with Secretary Lansing, when he renewed his argu- ments for withdrawal. He was tolt

They replied that no new indications of such activ- ity had been received.
 Officials declined to comment on reports from Larado that customs collectors on the border had received new orders as to shipments of am intuition into Mexico. Beyond stating that there had been no change in the ammunition situation since immedi ately after the the American expedi- ton crossed the line they would not discuss the subject. At that time gov ernment border officials were directed to exercise every. precaution in pass ing shipments of arms and ammuni- tion to see that they did not fall into
 the hands of bandits or any forces whose loyalty to the de facto govern ment was seriously questioned. Only a small amount of war material has
 since crossed the line, not enough, Il is said, to supply any important force
 Such shipments as have been made
 have gone under old permits and have
 been so safeguarded that there has
 been no doubt of their destination or use.
