Whether Zapata Is Really
Dead Or Not Makes
Little Difference.

Washington. D. c., April 1s.-An-
nouncement from Mexico City Of the
killing OF Emiliano zapata, outlaw
chief Of southern Mexico. is accepted
with considerable reserve among
Latin-American diplomats In wash
ington. It is pointed out by them
that on numerous occasions In the
past similar announcements have been
made, not only in respect to Zapata
but also concerning Francisco Villa
and other revolutionary leaders. Many
diplomats, as wei as others especially
familiar with affairs in Mexico, are
entirely ready to discredit the news.
suggesting that II any one was killed
as reported it was probably Eufemi 10
Zapata, a younger brother Of the Mo-
relos leader, who Is described as be-
ing imbued with less caution than the
latter.
Those who know the senior Zapata's
habits and methods of operation do
not believe that the Carranza forces
would ever get near enough to his
abode to either ensnare or kill him.
Some Officials Believe IL.
This feeling OF doubt regarding the
truth Of the reports OF Zanata's death
Gals OF the state department. In
fact, 1t was announced BY one Of the
highest officials that Il has received
an unofficial report 10 the effect that
there is no question about the truth
OF the first announcement. II IS re-
marked by one Latin-American diplo-
mat that during the month Of August,
1913. while Carranza was on his way
from Piedras Negras, his headquarters
IN the state OF Coahuila, 20 Sonora,
the Huerta government repeatedly
claimed his death, asserting that he
had been killed and buried in Du-
range.
Makes No Particular Difference.
Whether Zapata Is dead or alive.
that fact viii make no difference
in the Mexican situation, according to
those who speak authoritatively, as
Il is explained by them that the great
danger to the Carranza government
does not come from the south, but
from the north. Reports would indi-
cate that many people living in Chi
huahua and Durango. as. Wen as in
northwestern Coahuila. are in favor

have been revised In several i'm
pOrtunt particulars. II was the
original plan to destroy the forth
ficaffoms Of the canal. making IL
q strictly commercial waterway
without defences. The changes
that now have heen made leave
the present fOrfificatfOns IN e1-
fstence and provisions also have
been inserted permitting the con-
tinuunce Of the present coast de-
fences. all Of which were to have
been destroyed, according to the
original plan
The changes concerning HelgOland
leave intact the present large basin
constructed on an extensive scale for
the use Of the submarines during the
war It was concluded that the use
of submarines now had been so re-
stricted that the basin no longer con-
stituted a menace. and its continuance
was decided upon as providing use
ful haven for the North sea fishing
fleet in case OF distress.
The Qualifications Of HelEoland
are to be dismautled, 80 that the
basin virtually Is the only thing
remaining.
The final disposition OF the German
feet IS one OF the subjects still IN
decided. and even the highest naval
authorities are not aware how the
question stands since II passed into
hands Of the council Of four. The
disposition to be made Of the battle
ships and little cruisers is one OF the
chief things to be determined under
the head OF naval terms. and the de-
cision will affect the large number Of
capital ships held under the terms OF
the ruistfce.
