Mexico City. Dec. 30---Pirate, buc- cancers and marine freebooters. story-book men in high leather boots who swear terrible paths and carry huge swords, are not all dead. 4 number of them have been found on small islands off the west coast of Mexico and President CarranZa has dispatched from Mazatlan a naval eX- petition equipped for two months service with the object of routing the outlaws.
 Travellers on the Pacific have told of late of seeing numerous bands of these pirates who have preEed upon tramp vessels when occasion afford ed and at other times engaged in smuggling. Their headquarters are in the almost inaccessible caves on lonely islands where, it is said, they have stored much valuable booty which at opportune moments they carry to United States or South American ports. Most of their plum der Is obtained from Mexico.
 The Mexican government is de- terTn1aed to rid its islands of the freebooters and it's present eXpedi- tion after driving out the pilates will set up military posts to guard against their return.
