Mexico City, Feb. 27.?Seven- *
teen Zapatistas, who carried 1
their vocation of looting and 5
murder to the edge of the fed- f
eral district, eight miles from *
the capital, were captured to- J
day and executed. *
The rurales encountered the !
rebels at early dawn today and 1
defeated them. Later Juan (
Vargas, commander of the J
rurales, sent a terse message to
President Huerta, in which he J
said:
"I have the honor to report j
the execution of 17 bandits,
taken in outlawry and rebelion."
1
Confidence in the Huerta administration
appears to wax
stronger daily, if faith is to be
placed in the government re- a
ports, as to the rapid vanishing r
of the rebel spirit throughout c
the republic. Conspiracies t
against the provisional Presi- r
dent are still whispered of in
the capital, but there is at least r
,5^" an outward appearance of har- 1
mony between the leaders of I
the new regime. Provisional f

peace, which both express t
themselves as ardently desir- s

The latest adherent to the
government is General Orozco,
who has sent a telegram declar- '
ing his allegiance.
Venustiano Carranza, former j
governor of Coahuila, according
to dispatches received here, has
not succeeded in gathering gen- j
eral support for his attitude r
against Huerta. (
A further adhesion to the j
government was registered last
night when Rafael Tapia, a t
former chief of rural guards in
the state of Tiaxeala, with 600
of his men, signified his desire
^ to surrender.

Provisional President Huerta i
today drafted a bill granting I
amnesty to all political offend- j,
ers "who shall present them- I
selves to the authorities within r
15 aays." I
The measure was hurried to I
the chamber of deputies which jj
is in extraordinary session, for t
quick action. I
Two emissaries of Emilliano J
Zapata, who is said to be hiding
Jfr in the state of Morelos, are
^ here to confer with Iluerta.
They are said to bear instruc- V

m- Jersey?May Go Back to
Fight.
Trenton, N. J., Feb. 26.?
Governor Woodrow Wilson
jem_
warned members of the New
his Jersey legislature last night
ta- that as President of the United
lat States he would feel privileged
for to come back even as early as
in. next week to fight before the
ac- people of the state for pending
ht, reforms.
Jr. Governor Wilson resigned the
.ir- governorship yesterday to take
isy effect Saturday. Both houses
ss, had hardly received the resignant
tion when the assembly went on
ma record against passing the jury
on. reiorm bill to second reading,
lse This bill had been urged parous
ticularly by Governor Wilson,
lse It would take away the power to
be draw juries from sheriffs, lodgost
ing it with the commission apler
pointed by the governor.
,he Governor Wilson regards yeslse
terday's developments as breach
of party discipline. He believes,
however, that the principle
of justice in this country
ST is at stake and he considers the
isslue so vital that he declared
*"0 that soon after his inauguration
on' he might deliver several
speeches on this subject before
Jp- < he people of northern New
led Jersey, most of whose assemBX
blymen voted in effect against
>00 the governor yesterday,
ich "Yes, it looks as if the bill
ov- was beaten," said Governor Wilab
son last night, "but it is not ,
>us dead yet. Tt is perfectly well
known that the persons who are
of exerting pressure on the legisto
lature to defeat this bill are
on those who wish to control grand
om juries because they want to
, a break the law and the people of
^he the state will understand that
to abundantly before I get through
oid with it."
The President-elect said if the
ise jury reform bill were defeated
ion he would consider that he was
of booked to speak in the primary
irl- campaign next fall against asles
semblymen seeking renominata
tion who had voted against the
ere measure. The governor's decen
laration caused a flurry of exals
citment in political circles.
