Especial cable Dispatch1


Mexico City, April 16.-Both from
military and sentimental stand
point the Importance to tho Carranza
government of the death Of Emiliano
Zapata, leader of the southern rebels
in the state of Morelos cannot be
overestimated. Gen, Pablo Gonzales
according to an official announcement
here today, says in his official report;
LAS being a notice of the highest
Importance for the consolidation of
the present government and for the
peace of the republic, have the hon
or to inform you that Col, Jesus Hua-
jardo with his forces, arrived in Gu
autia, bringing the body of Emiliano
Zapata, who for long time has been
the center of rebellion in these re-
gions, and who hitherto had succeeded
in evading all attempts at capture,
"In the battle during which Zapata
was killed, several OF his principal
leaders also lost their lives The
body of Zapata has been fully iden-
titled"
Zapata's death marks the final cpl
sode of a campaign to bring the
Zapatsta country completely under
the control of the government which
was begun several months ago by
Gonzales. Latterly Zapata, accom-
panied by handful of troops, had
been taking refuge in the mountains
and conducting defensive fight
Although endeaVors were made tC
take the rebel chieftain alive his men
resisted so fiercely that no quarter
could be given.
With the elimination of Zapata, the
backbone of his cause has been def
nitely broken and peace prevails
throughout the extensive section Of
the republic close to the capita
which, since 1910, has not recognized
any authority save that welded by
Zapata. Economically, the vanquish'
ing of the Zapatistas and the fall OF
their leader is important because il
means the release for cultivation OF
one of the richest sugar and agricul'
tural regions in the country
Owing to the depredatiOns of the
Zapatistas it will be necessary to pro
vide several million dollars worth o.
sugar mill machinery and agriculture
implements to replace what the rebels
destroyed, the bulk of which vii
come from the United States. Zapati
is the most important rebel Leader
who has fallen to the arms of tht
government. u.
None of the others now in the field
including Villa and Felix Diaz, car
fairly be regarded as menaces. Al
though Diaz had been in arms il
Mexico against Carranza for NOR,
than three years he did not succeed il
making Roadway and rccently was re
! duced to living on the country with {
few followers in the businesses of The
