MEXICAN BUTCHERY — ATTACK ON A TRAIN FILLED WITH HORRORS. INDIGNITIES TO THE SLAIN The Dead, So Far as Reported, is Eighty-Four, with Fatalities Yet to Corr.e. Mexico City.—The dead as a result of an attack by Zapatistas on the Mexican-Cuernavaca train near Parres on the edge of the federal district, now number eighty-four. A second relief train which reached Mexico City early Sunday brought twenty-three passengers who had es caped the butchery and made their, way into Tres Marias, a few miles away. Eleven were accounted for Sunday night. It is estimated that the train car ried approximately seventy-five pass engers in audition to the fifty soldiers of the escort. Forty-three soldiers were killed. Nine bodies of passen gers were found near the wreck. Of the remaining thirty-two a majority are believed to have been killed or wounded and consumed in the burn ing cars, which were fired with oil taken from the tank of the locomo tive. « Before the attack on the train be came known the Zapata horde had routed a small^garrison of iederais at Parres. Many women of the camp fell into their hands and were subjected to indescribable barbarities. The wife of the chief of the detachment was found disembowled and otherwise horribly mutilated. Captain Rosendounez, in charge of the escort on the illfated train, is said to have fought heroically. After he had received three wounds he con tinued firing until a fourth bullet pierced his heart. The Zapatistas robbed the dead and living and looted the express car. Among the first to fall was the 10 year-old daughter of Captain Hunez. She was sitting near a window and the first volley from the attacking band literally riddled the child with bullets. “From the time the train stopped until after the attack ended.-’ said one of the soldiers, “there was a veritable rain of bullets. At least 500 were in the first volley and the car in which we were traveling was the target. Most of the bullets came through the roof. The second lieutenant had eighteen bullets through his body.

JAPS IMPORT THEIR BRIDES Orientals In Hawaii Send All the Way to the Flowery Kingdom for Them. Kauai, Hawaii.—"No more Orientals of the laboring class are coming to Hawaii, and a good many of our white citizens who cultivate sugar estates are sorry that the faithful Chinese are barred under the law,” said W. P. Hareourt, a sugar planter of the island of Kauai, one of the Hwaiian group. "They are our best workers, and be fore the exclusion policy was applied we could count on a certain regular influx of brawny Mongolians to toil in the cane fields. "The Chinese now in Hawaii have been there for many years, and most of them are getting to be old men. Not many of the Chinese have wfves, but In former days not a few of them became the husbands of the native Ka t--' Types of Japanese Dancing Girls. naka women. It was a good cross, was this half-breed progeny, and so likewise the offspring of the Japanese and native women. In recent times, however, the Japs have been in the habit of sending back to their own land for wives. In mo6t cases I think the self-elected bridegrooms get their : parents back in the Flowery Kingdom to pick out wives for them. “The matter is finally arranged through the Japanese consul, the man in the case putting up money for the passage of his intended spouse. The hour that she lands must also be the wedding hour, for the authorities will not allow the fair ones to remain un less claimed and formally mated ac cording to some civil or religious cere mony that both parties consider bind ing. "Every now and then a wireless message comes to my plantation which tells one of my young Japanese hired men that he may expect on the arrival of the next ship at Honolulu the girl who has been picked out as his wife. I do not think that in many cases the principals have ever laid eyes on each other. On the receipt of the message the man gets permis sion to go to claim his wife, and pret ty soon the pair are domesticated on the estate, and my understanding is they get on as happily as if they had known each other from Infancy and been wedded in the conventional way of the Caucasians. “Not long ago a ship from Yokoha ma arrived with forty or fifty so called picture brides. Every one of them had bean chosen through photo graphs forwarded to Hawaii some time in advance of the arrival of the origi nals. Occasionally there is a pathetio case, as when not long ago a very pretty young Japanese maid was forced to take the next ship returning to her old home. Inspection showed that she had trachoma, and the rigid rule that ordered her deportation could not be waived.”—Baltimore American.
