THE OMAHA SUNDAY BEE: Jt'XE L'H, 1914. A GLOOM IN THE PEACE GAMP! Awarded Damages Against Nebraskan Mediation Colony Shows Signs of Anxiety After Day of Waiting. ITEAHED NOW INSURGENTS OUT vr Are Certnln Cottstltntionnllata "Will rnrtlclpate In Meeting Planed lir Eiitoj-i 7.ne atccna "City of Uenal." NIAGAHA FALLS, Ont.. June 37. After a day of waiting with no word of the flans of the constitutionalists with refer ynco to the proposed Informal conference Iwith the Hucrta delegates over Mexico's internal affairs the mediation colony Is showing signs of anxiety. Few,, arc certain the constitutionalists will participate. It became apparent that although spokesmen of General Carranxa had expressed themselves In favor of the conferences, tho constitutionalist chief had by no means mado up his mind on the subject It Is expected that strong pressure will have to be exerted, to per Huado him to agree to the plan set forth by the mediators whon they drew up the protocols outlining methods for the ad justment of tho international side of tho problem and leaving the selection of a provisional president to bo determined by tho two Mexican factions. Tho constitutionalist victory at Zaca- tecas It la recognized, may have a psychological Influence on tho situation. If It produces cohesion In the constitu tionalist ranks and a margin for lust for more military successes, close observers think tho constitutionalists will be less disposed to leave the question to dlplo matte discussion. Znoittcona CItr nf Dend. ZACATECAS, Mexico, June 27. (De layed Over Military Wires.) There was little life lost night In Zacatecns, usually one of tho liveliest cities In Mexico. It was a city of the dead. Everywhere dead men and horses had been piled in tho cutters to allow traffic on tho streets and sidewalk. Today began the burying of those who fell. Tho bodies of tho horses were burned. ' During the night frightened civilians who had remained In doors during tho rour days of attack, etclo through the i streets, dodging barefooted sentries who Spaced' to and fro unceasingly and wateh rfully. The city lay In black silence pall llke because of the awful tragedy in Its street? and environs. Hundred of wires swung in hopeless tangles from telegraph poles, tipping jf pedestrians and horses throughout the night, The challenge of a sentry and tho answer of an occasional civilian; the jungle of the mounted patrol answered & the faint chimes of tho bells of the I church on La Buffo, Hill; they wero tho B v only sounds during tho first night of writ desolation, darkness and death. w xacaiecas is uio center 01 a ricn stiver m mining district, which has been operated for 300 years.
