TROOPS SENT OUT AGAINST OUTLAWS Mexico Trying t Put Down Bandit Kidnappers Mexico City, June 28.-—(By Associ- ated Press.)-—Mexican government of- ficials believe the kidnapping of A. Bruce Bielaski in the state of Moreles and the capture of 40 other Americans near Tampico witlin a few hours of each other are isohated cases of ban- ditry which will be adequately at- tended to by the federal troops now in pursuit. Secretary of War Serrano last night had not yet been officially advised of the seizure of the Cortez OIfl com- pany’'s property near Tampico and the detention of the 40 employes, but other advices caused him to direct Gen Guadalupe Sanchez, federal com- mander in that zone, to start a vigor- ous campaign against the rebels in the entire region. Once Reported Killed, Gorozave, commanding the Tampico rebels, was reported killed several weeks ago, but according to the war office he suddenly appeared in the Huasteca district last week and his activities against the oil com- pany's Aguada camp are incident to his program of outlawry. Gorozava, who is a Spaniard, is said to have nearly 300 well armed men under his command, No news has recached here Tampico concerning the capture, and lacal representatives of the Cortez in- terests said they had no information other than that contained in dispatch- es from Washington. 1t is rumoed that of the 40 captured less than a dozen are Americans, the remainder ieing British subjects. According to advices lat last night from Cuernavaca, negotiations still are in progress between Mr. Bielaski's friends and his bandit captors. A brief message from the former stat- ing: Gen, from Bielaski Reported Safe. “Arrangements for release almost completed. Bruce safe and well.” On some quarters it is asserted that the presence in Cuernavaca of nu- merous friends of Mr. Bielaski has mitigated against his speedy release, and as various arrangements are be- ing made to pay over the ransom none of which comply with the program strictly outlined by the bandits last Mexican government known to have been in Cuernavaca since Sunday night with sufficient funds to meet the ransom demands,|! but actual contact with the bandits has not heen accomplished. The war office announces that two columns of troops equipped for mountain and Lill fighting are now scouring the ter- |t rain adjacent to Cuernavaca. e ON-PARTISANS IN DAKOTA PRIMARIES agents are i Will Play Important Part in Demo- cratic Voting Today—McCumber 1 !
