of fighting in which the Escuinapa con-

then resorted to machete dagger and

on the field and some wounded rebels
were dragged off by their parade
Escuinapa had two wounded but no
dead. When night fell the rebels crept
in stealthily under cover of darkness
divided into three columns entering
from as many directions. The defend-
ers' guns were no longer any use as
fighting tools for lack of cartridges
and thev hid them and adopted the Im-
plements of husbandry axes .machetes

scattered into small looting partle!.

In ghostly silence this operation was
repeated at other houses until some 14
rebels twere put out of commission and
the good work was still going on when
about midnight the rebel outposts gave
the alarm of an approaching enemy.
This turned out to be the military col-
umn of Gen. Ojeda which arrived by
forced marches after routing the rebels
at Kosario the same dav and the fed-
erals entering from different direc-
tions spread panic among the looting
hordes and only a few random volleys
were fired before the scramble for
safetv began. About 70 dead rebels
were" counted In the morning laO reb-
els' mounts were captured and five pris-
oners. The federals reported only one
wounded of their force and no dead.
Many arms of many kinds were cap-
tured and a goodly quantity of ammu-
nition. Other rebel dead are reported

Gen Ojeda gave the people permis-
sion to keep the arms they had cap-
tured from the rebels and promised to
send them more arms and ammunition
from Mazatlan.
He said he wished he had 200 men
like those of Escuinapa to fill the de-
pleted ranks of his battalion.
On the morning of the 5th. Gen.
Ojeda's battalion withdrew to Rosarlo
and all of Escuinapa that could af-

the period from the 2 2d to the 23th
of April.
Pilar Quintaras. "the terrible man
of the revolution" because of the very
ambition that invited his death at the
bands of the other leaders and not
from any principle of honor or ves-
tige of conscience exercised a power-
ful influence up to the time of his kill-
ing to prevent the looting of the city
and only after it was known that his
terrible presence had vanished in
death did the rebels turn themselves
loose in utter abandon.
Strong: Leader Executed.
During several days preceding his
killing he had asserted his right to the
leadership of all the rebels so boldly
and had shown such consummate dar-
ing in crossing the wishes of the oth-
er leaders some of whom brought in
a greater number of men than he did
and refused to recognize his claims to
superiority that -the city was In a
panic before the very imminent dan-
ger of an open "battle among the
rebels themselves in the street. Be-
fore the fear of annihilation by Pilar
Quinteros the other leaders did their
utmost to maintain their bands in
readiness and clashes between small
bands did occur and resulted in num-
bers of deaths. Every leader had se-
lected some block that suited him for
his headquarters and had supplies
hauled in and rounded up all the men
he could to remain on their arms pend-
ing the development of the situation.
One used the prefecture or city hall
for this purpose another the new jail
one the old jail right across the street
from the American hotel which was
the resort of all foreigners for many
years known as the "CosmopoKta:"
another the state college annex and
some were quartered in private resi-
dences. All selected buildings or
blocks which had only one street en-
trance in order to better control their
men and repel probable attacks.
The Government S ed.
That Mazatlan. the only remaining
government stronghold in Sinaloa. and
the only garrisoned point between
Guaymas and Manxanlllo remains In
the government fold is due entirely
to these dissensions among the rebels.
Pilar Quinteros was the only leader
whose ambition was strong enough to
overcome the desire for present loot

richer loot laj- dead In a little corner

Tom Lea is sore. His ruffled feeling
is the result of the persistent reports
which arise In El aso regarding the
recruiting of men ror the federal force
at Ojlnaga and other points along the
border. Tom defended Leon the man
convicted of recruiting soldiers for the
rebel cause in the Cbamlzal and who Is
now doing six months in the county

"That poor sucker Is doing time for
something which the federal officials
here are boasting of doing and for
which they are not made to answer."
Tom mid Saturday morning. "It has
may morning. it nw
ben the open boast of certain federal
officials here that they were sending
men to points down the river and
across to join the federal force which
Is trying to be recruited along the
Mexican side of the border. If Leon
violated the law In doing what he did
why doesn't somebody arrest these fed-
eral officials who are not only doing
more than Leon ever thought of doing
but have the nerve to boast of It."

" AVeak Leaders Flee.
Antonio Franco and Manuel Vega
the leaders who had most vigorously
opposed Pilar Quinteros In his claim
to supreme command both hairing
larger forces and more prominent rec-
ords than his were entirely unable to
infuse any respect into their loot
obsessed vandals and they saw their
ambitions and pretensions to future
power in their country swept away
before the lust for loot their respon-
sibility for arousing which during sev-
eral months of arduous campaigning
unmasked them as the leaders of a
horde of fiends instead of patriotic
armies as they had deceived them-
selves into thinking.
Both began to withdraw from the
horrors they had caused but could not
check and the few of their follower
who remained loyal to them followed
them out of the city in grimy rags
and empty handed as they had entered.
In striking contrast to the rank and
file of the ragged rebels who entered
to go out arrayed in all the glory of
looted splendor in the most picuresque
assortment of garb and colors that The
Herald correspondent ever saw loaded
with eTery conceivable kind of thing
that could be looted in Culiacan. and
bolts of silk and fancy dress goods
doing duty as saddle blankets.
Even Doctors and Xurxes Flee.
Anion? the stores most efficiently
looted was that of the Spanish vice-
consul. The "white cross" doctor and
nurses fled the city in terror of the
vandals who rewarded their merciful
ministrations by looting them and
threatening them with death if they
did not give cash ransom.
The horror of its "tragic week"
was not lessened for Culiacan by the
drunken dances of the lowest dives.

NEW liEi-MBC PLftNT IN
MEXICO PROMISES II EXCEED
THE GMLE
And now comes another rubber pro-
ducing plant from the desert with its
gift for man. The guayule has been
exploited so widely within the last
few years that the name has become
fairly well known to the general read-
er. Present Indications are that as a
producer of rubber it soon will have
to divide the honors with a new spe-
cies of rubber plant recently discovered
on the table lands of Mexico. Accord-
ing to experts this recent find in the
botanical world excels the guayule
plant tn both quantity and quality of
the rubber produced.
All Parts ot Plant UKed.
The plant is a perennial creeper grow-
ing in brushes which do not entirely
exclude the son. The mean average of
rain In that region Is 22 to 23 inches.
There is no frost. It bears a kind of
an oblong pointed fruit two or three
Inches long and one to one and a half
inch thick full of feathery seeds. The
thick skin of this fruit Is full ot a
snow white milky sticky fluid which
hardens in the air and then does not
dissolve in water. The rubber obtained
from this Juice is very elastic. The
leaves and stems of the plant are also
full of this milky fluid.
May Be Cultivated.
So far it has not been cultivated:
but there seems to be nn rlnuht h.t
by a proper cultivation a very consid-
erable amount of the best rubber
might be obtained. So far the plant
has been found only at a single spot.
Its botanical name Is not known vet
the discovery having been made o"nly
a short time ago.
Ail those who wish to Interest them-
selves in the cultlvatiou of this new
found plant are Invited to communi-
cate with its discoverer. Carl Ludloff

the owners of which took advantage
of the absence of any authority to
make them pay for the privilege and
the lack of police to restrain them
and held orgies that usually wound
up in the small hours of the morning
with dead and wounded on the scene.
Some of the government employes
were in hiding in the city and never
left their dark retreats during the 13
days the rebels held sway.
One looter who lingered after the
most of the others had gone was shot
dead by an angry merchant who
caught him picking over the refuse of
what had been a fine stock of cloth-
ing and dress goods. The looter wore
a fine silk cap but some hours later
his body still lay in the street the
cap replaced by a dirty and torn straw
"lid."
Anether Governor.
Don Manuel Clauthler was appointed
governor of Sinaloa the sixth but he
is not expected to do more than add
one more to the long string that have
enjoyed the honor In thei past 12
months. The people have lost the
count and do not know whether he
is 13 or 14.
The Maderista recruits which have
been flopping over to the rebels in
whole companies and battalions are
being absorbed into the federal army
and distributed in small numbers in
the hope that the stern discipline of
the service will make soldiers of them
or at least prevent their treason en
mass.
Families whose fathers and sons
were killed fighting in the rebel ranks
were looted the same as the common
run of merchants and government em-
ployes. Furniture crockery" queens-
ware which was too cubersome to
carry off was smashed Into pieces to
j gratify the lust for destruction.
Snfferlnir Of Women
The state college boys who figured
so gloriously In the preparations for
the defence of their beloved city and
hooted lone Americans who passed
their drill grounds and in one
case threw clods at an American and
talked valiantly of what they would
do to the "yankee pigs" in the event
of Intervention were conspiclous by
their absence when the rebels ap-
peared before the city and those who
did not flee In panic burrowed Into any
obscure corner and left their mothers
and sisters to the tender mercies ot
the looters. Cases are known where
several women of such families were
herded into the "forts" of the looters
to spend a night the memory of which
will always bring a blush of shame
as much for the cowardice of their men
folk who abandoned them as for their
own unspeakable experiences. Most
of this sort of thing will never be
known shame sealing the victims'
mouths.
Bxedus Of American)!.
The Mexicans are greatly alarmed
over the continued exodus of Amer-
icans and consider the present trip of
the United States transport "Buford"
evidence of a quickly maturing plan
for intervention. As a rule their on-
ly distrust of intervention is the fear
that some national territory would
ultimately be lopped off. Most of those
who own property have families or
who earn their living by honest toll
desire Intervention at any cost and
the subject is always brought into
any conversation with foreigners but
there is a general hope that interven-
tion would mean a military occupation
in force sufficient to quickly pacify
the country and the administration
of government for some years until
the mass of the people can be brought
out of their apathy when they hope
the Americans will withdraw and leave
Mexico intact.

Amount of Slump $175500-
000 Corporate Report
Made Public.
Washington D. C My 20. Corporate
earnings in the United States decreased
$175600000 in 1911. That figure rep-
resents the comparative ioss in net earn-
ings as reported to Royal E. Cabell com-
missioner of internal revenue for mak-
ing assessment under the corporation
excise iax law.
In a statement Mr. Cabell says the re-
turns indicate poorer busines conditions
last rear than in 1910. particularly in
iron ' steel and certain manufacturing
industries.
The gross receipts of corporations did
not suiter as great a ratio of decrease
as the net. The returns indicate the
commissioner points out that this
was because labor and -supply men
shared more largely in the receipts of
the companies in 1911 than in 1910.
This was particularly so in the case of
the railroads he says which seem gen-
erally to have paid increased amounts
for labor without a corresponding in-
crease in income being indicated in
manv -ases an actual decrease in income
lwmCr hoWIl.
Assessment Due In June.
The 1 percent assessment on the 1911
net earnings of corporations will turn
into the 'e.ieral treasury about $2878.-
UO0. must of which will be paid in June
against $29432000 last year a decrease
or $1154000. The amount probably
will be augmented somewhat before the
i Io-e o' the fiscal ear. Mr Cubell a-
