Aug II,?A deter? mined nght Is to he made in ?he con? ference on the Panama canal hill against granting free canal passage to Amerh-n roreign bound ships. The conference committee had its first meeting h?da> and continued the dls cuMlon of the measure at a night ses? sion. Senai..- Brandegee.. wlm opposed free toll provision* in the senate, is under ni.i to stand with Representa? tives Adams and Stevens of the house conferees In opposition to what they consider a violation of treaty right and too great concession to foreign bound shipping. It is belies eg irom preliminary conference that the fret tolls provision* for Ann rieag cast* wise shipping will be retained. Little progress was made in th I first session of the conferees toward an agreement on th? Bourne amend? ment to divorce railroads from con? trol of co npettng steamship lines, ami the Red amendment prohibiting trust controlled ships from using the Pan* ama cans I. Both houses h*Vt in? dorsed the plan to prohibit rai.road owned ships from using the c inai but t* e Horum? and Iteed amend? ments are new matter so far as the house is concerned. The British government, according to advices from the sta> . department today, had made no furth. represen tations regarding the proposition to allow Arn Than vessels to use thi canal free of tolls. It Is now await? ing, it is said, the enactment of leg? islation Into law and the adoption ot regulations to put it into effect In ??r tier to have a sud ' |. nt basis for a more formal protest.

YON IN SOUTHERN MEXICO. Rebel* slum More Brutality Than at Cuernnvaca Massacre?Nearly Sixty People Killed. ??? Mexico City. Aug. 12,?Thirty-six soldiers and more than 20 passengers were slaughtered by Zapatista* yes? terday afternoon In a canyon, one kilometre north of Ticuman, 110 miles southeast of Mexico City, when a passenger train, southbound from this city, was attacked from ambush. Meagre details which did not reach this Chy until this afternoon, indi? cate that the savagery displayed was j net less. and perhaps greater, than that which characterized the massa- j ere of troops and passengers on a ' train I etween Cuernevaca and Mexico j City on July .'0. So far as known to? night, only a part of the train crew escaped. The rirst story of the aseult was sent to Mexico city by Conductor Marin and Collector Domlngues, who although wounded had managed to make their way to Yuatepec. 12 miles away. They were forced to steal through ihe Zapatista lln.-4. and did not arrive at the telegraph station until thll afternoon. After the firing ceased the rebels swarmed down the hillside and set lire to the three cars composing the train. A few of the wounded had crawled out onto the right of way, thus escaping the fate of those un? able to leave the cars. They were burned. According to reports re? ceived, the leader of the rebels made abi dutly no effort to restrain his men from acts of brutality greater than any that have yet marked the campaign in the south. The wounded, pleading for their lives, were struck down without pity, and even loottng was held In abey? ance until the slaughter was com? plete Not satisfied -with robbing their victims iu ordinary manner, the lin? gers of men and women w ere chopped off with n achetee in order that the rfBgS they wore might he more quick? ly secured. Ornaments were torn from the ears of the women and t'veir bodies were otherwise mutilated. Among the passengers were \vo newspaper men. who w ere among the e oi. .??
