NEW YORK, October 8.—The New York American will say tomorrow that a radio message from Gen. Ar- nulfo R.

MEXICO CITY, October 8— Press dispatches from Tuxtal Gutterrez, capital of the State of Chiapas, say that Alfonso Domen. zan, state tax coliector, was cap- tured and executed by Federal troops after he had fled from the capital with 50,000 pesos of the state funds to join the revolution- ary movement. Luis P. Vidal of Chiapas, who was executed several days ago, paid the extreme penalty for at- tempting to induce the State House guard to revoit. Chiapas is reported quiet, but many persons have been arrested on suspicion of being implicated in the revolt. All the members of the City Councll of Tapachula have been placed under arrest, but the mayor, Enrique Roda, escaped and fled toward Guatemala, Useless Teonic. From Answers, London.

Correspondence of the Associated 08, BELGRADE, Jugoslavia.—The half dozen nations which fill up the Balkan bag are the Kilkenny cats of Europe. Italian-Jugoslav military disturb- ances at Zara, Jugoslavia's effort to build up her alr service, Italy’s op- position to disarmament proposals ad- vanced by the United States, and the treaty of Tirana have turned the eyes of Furope again to the steaming pot of the Balkans, where the World War was brewed.
