It.v the Associated Tress
Mexico City, April 1 2.-0 encrnl
TInilllann Zapatn, the rebel leader of
"niithern Mexico, news of whoso dentil
ronelipd this ct.v yesterday, was killed
Thursday morning during nn engage
incut between bis troops and govern
ment soldiery who bad by a ruse entered
bis cninp nt Hacienda Chinemeca. near
(lie village of Petlalcingo, Morelos.
The government soldiers, under tbc
loininnnd of (Jencial Pablo, nonzales,
planned to (aptuie the rebel chief and
pictendcd they were a part of the
Koitieth llegiment, which bad come to
join Zn pain's forces. When Zapata
xih aRked to review the men he became
Riispicious and took with him a large
number of rebel troops. This prevented
the carrying out of the plan and ic
sulted 'in a general fight. Zapata fell
with ninny of his followers. A number
of government soldiers also lost their
Ihes.
The government i taking unusual
precautions to establish the fact of the
rebel leader's death. Official photo
graphs have been taken of the body,
which have been viewed by many who
knew Zapata, and depositions have been
required from those taking part in the
battle.
The body will be bulled in the
Zapatista tomb at Tlaltizapan. Morelos,
which wns erected some yeais ago to re
ceive the bodies of all those who signed
the Zapatista covenant, known as the
"plan of Alaj'a." in this tomb are
buried many rebel leaders who have-died
during the last ten yeais, including
Eufemio Zapata, bi other of the chief
tain. Little is known of Zapata's eaily life
except that he was born about thirty
t eight years ago. He began life as a
gioom in the employ of Ignacio Up La
Torre, nephew of the late Tiesident
Torfirio Diaz, who owned one of the
largest estdtes in Morelos. He became
a revolutionist for the purpose of se
curing reforms in the laws pertaining
to landed estntes which would faor the
peons, but later bis fight against the
government degenerated into nn indis--'criminnte
slaughter of eery one except
Zapatistas.
