■ INFANTS HURLED
INTO FLAMES OF
MEXIC REBELS
Men and Women Are Bound to
Stakes With Barbed Wire
« and Roasted Alive.
MEXICO CITY. May 31. -Stories of
inconceivable brutalities practiced by
the Zapatisf insurrectos in the state
of Morelos, which include the burning
of men and women at the stake and
'iie hurling of babies Into blazing bon
fire?, were brought here today by a sur
vivor of the massacred of Tres Marias.
This town, situated 40 miles from
here, was sacked and burned by 2.000
rebels under Zapata because 200 fed
eral soldiers had resisted the brigand
horde
Emilia no Zapata and his brother, Eu
flmio Zapata, led the attack in person.
• '■ One hundred and eighty-eight of the
200 government soldiers were killed by
. the rebels and their bodies burned
-».■ Prisoners Tied With Barbed Wire.
After the battle the victorious rebels
marched Into Tres Marias, seized all
* ' the njen and women, binding their
cards with barbed wire.
After a counsel of the bandit chiefs,
some of the younger women were lib
erated and compelled to follow th<
rebel baud. The others were lined up
and great bonfires were lighted. Bodies
of the dead federal soldiers were piled
up on the faggots and the torch applied.
Other soldiers were put to work tear
ing down the frame buildings of the
» iown Great bonfires were built and a
detachment of soldiers seized and
bound townsfolk? and put their bodies
into the embers. Shrieks of women
mingled with the groans and curses of
the men.
Children Thrown Into Flames.
Rut the most hideous scenes were to
come. The hardened ruffians seized
little children and threw their bodies
Into the blaze. The cruel tortures
reached the eupremacy of their bar
barities when they hurled helpless in
fants Into the flames before their par
ents’ eyes.
Rut one child, a boy of three years,
who had hidden himself in the brush,
escaped the massacre. He was brought
to this city, where he is now being
. a red for.
All the frame buildings of the town
were burned and the sole stone struc
•are was dynamited.

Cuban Negroes Pillaging Again.
Emboldened by Inactivity of
Federal Soldiers.
SANTIAGO. t’UBA. May 31. Em
boldened by the.inactivity of the Cuban
regular force, the Cuban rebels under
Generals- Estonez and Ivanho. have en
tered upon a fresh campaign of murder
and pillage. Reports from several sec
tions of Oriente province tell of the
presence of detached bands of blacks
who aye ravaging plantations and mill
ing properties, burning buildings and
cane and driving off all the live stock
in sight. In the interior several ranch
defenders have ben shot by the ma
rauders.
Many women are fighting in the
ranks of the insurgents. At Daiquiri,
where the blacks burned the plant of
a steel mill and thousands of tons of
cane, women are said t/> be under arms
with the rebels.
Heavy rains arc falling at several
points in Orient' 1 province, halting mill
operations.
Looting Plantations.
Daiquiri is a small town about fif
teen miles from Santiago, and was de
fended by only half a dozen rurales.
After terrorizing the inhabitants of
that place the same band or another
detachment from the same body ap
peared at Laplaya and Berraco, where
they looted several small plantations.
Residents of the districts where the
insurgents have renewed operations are
greatly alarmed and, are demanding
further protection from the govern
ment. Some are asking for machine
guns as well as small arms.
The United States gunboat Paducah
is at Daiquiri and Is reported to have
landed a detachment of marines.

into Oriente province to'take complete
charge of federal operations, has de

UNDEHWODO HAS
CRBNCE-HOBSON
Merrimac Hero Cheered as He
Urges Big Navy in Debate
With Governor Hanly.
“Willing to talk politics'? Well, why
not ?" asked Richmond P. Hobson, in
reply tc a reporter's question. “My be
ing on a lecture tour doesn’t keep me
from having opinions and being willing
to express them.
"I’m an Underwood man. you know.
.Yes, I think he has a working chance
to win. The tariff is the main issue—
the only really great Issue—no matter
how much the Republicans may try to
avoid it. Roosevelt nor Taft knows
anything about the tariff. When they
try to speak on that subject they talk
nonsense. Underwood knows the sub
ject thoroughly. Roosevelt is trying to
iqnke the issue honest men vs. crooks,’
tite latter being all those opposed to the
colonel.
“I believe Taft may yet win the nom
ination. though one must admit that
Roosevelt has shown remarkable
strength. Taft would be the easier for
the Democrats to defeat."
His Smile Not "Bloodthirsty."
"1 suppose you and Governor Hanly
have all your points of debate neatly
framed up to give each other opportu
nity for brilliant rejoinder and thus add
to the eloquence of both sides.” sug
gested the reporter.
The oft-kissed hern of the Merrimac
smiled. He has a peculiarly attractive
smile, and one which does not fit his
reputation for bloodthirstiness. It is
hard to believe a man with a smile like
that should be the Oliver Twist of con
gress. always shouting for “more bat
tleships."
Hanly Calls T. R. a Bungler.
“Do you know. I never met Governor
11. inly until last night, when we dined
together," he said. “I had heard that,
he had a beautiful address on “Peace."
and our debate was arranged by the
lecture bureau. Governor Hanly is a
fine gentleman, and 1 am sure that we
shall continue to debate amicably', even
if vigorously."
The joint appearance of the advocate
of a bigger navy and the apostle of
world peace drew a fair audience to the
Auditorium last night. Governor flan
ly created a stir when ho declared that
“Roosevelt the bungler” would have
plunged the country into .war had he
faced the Mexican crisis which Presi
dent Taft has handled. He made a
powerful plea for universal disarma
ment of the nations.
f'apt. Hobson's vigorous demand fora
navy' which would make America the
mistress of the seas appeared to appeal
to the martial spirit of the audience,
which was composed largely of the
members of the Fifth regiment, and bv,
was cheered again and again.
