PUSH CAMPAIGN
AGAINST ZAPATA

MEXICO CITY, March 19-The cam
paign of the eastern division of the
constitutionalists army against Emil
iano Zapata has been pushed vigor-
Ously during the past week. The rail-
road between Mexico City and Cuern-
avaca has been opened as far as Tres
Marias, on the summit of the divide
separating MorelOs from the federal
district, and military trains are running
to that point.
Four brigades of troops under Cen
eral Gonzales have advanced beyond
the Volcano Ajusco and rid the coun-
try of bandits. Word reached here to-
Gay that General Alesio Gonzales had
captured the important town of Ten
ancingO, in the seat of Mexico, forty
miles south of Toluca. Six hundred of
Zapata's followers are reported to have
been killed by the constituencies
cavalry. Tenancingo was the last town
of importance in the state of Mexico
held by Zapata.

but it had been believed here that the
Americans all had left these towns.
The loss of some horses and mules
| by General Pershings squadron is
rot considered unusual for such
march The bandits whom the Amer
leans are pursuing spent the lives of
horses freely to maintain the lead
which the Americans are trying to
| cut down. That the American troop
ers went through with the loss of only
a few animals is considered on the
| border to be a remarkable exploit In
itself Many predictions had been
| made before the expedition started
| that the American cavalry horses
could not stand up under the hard
Work of the mountain trails, with
scanty fodder and uncertain water
| facilities.
| The type of horse which they are
chasing is a small. wiery pony, with
hoofs unshcd. the hoofs being treated
| with q sharp knife to keep them in
| condition. These unshod horses are
said to climb like cats 1t is fur
Their hoasted that when they have no
food their riders give them bunch
| of cactus
| The eating of cactus is well
established attainment of these hors-
es. The variety fed is prickly pear,
| from which the spines have been
| burned.
In the first rush at least the Amer
| lean corn fed horses have equalled the
traditions of the famous Villa mounts.
| AS the Americans divide the pur-
suit of Villa, another interesting sub
| siStcnce question is raised, namely,
| the question whether in an emergency
| the American troops can five on fresh
| beef as the Mexican outlaws subsist.
| This beef is eaten before the flesh
cools, a practice which to the I'M
| initiated causes serious stomach
| trouble.
News of General Pershing's pres
ence with the vanguard was a sur
prise. His cavalrymen, starting from
| Columbus, had a considerably longer
| ride to make than those of Colonel
| George A. Dodd, who started from
the western end of the New Mexico
| boundary. The dispatches from the
front do not indicate whether Cen
| eral Pershing left his main column to
take the leadership of Colonel Dodd's
men, or whether the main column
