JUNE 25, 1912 FEDERALS HANG 200 MISTS MEXICO CITY. June 25. More than 200 Zapatist rebels were captured and hanged by federal troops after a battle near Huitzilac. Refugees arriving here from that banhit-infested region say the fringe of the forest lining the road for some dis tance in the vicinity of Huitzilac was marked with bodies hanging from limbs of trees. The rebel leader surrendered after the battle. When the insurrectos had been disarmed they were led to the edge of the forest, and one after tbe other were hanged to the nearest tree. General Robles in his report said the reason the rebels were hanged instead of being shot to death was to "strike terror into the hearts of other rebels operating in that state."
