(Via Ha- vana, April 22) A dispatch was sent ? by mail to Havana in order to avoid the censorship established by Gen- j eral Huerta, which is more strict . than at any time heretofore. It says: "Every telegraph wire out of Mex- i j Ico City commercial, railroad or ca- j I ble is now watched over by a censor v chosen from among the most reliable and Intelligent men In the govern- ment telegraph service. These cen- , sora frankly inform would-be senders of dispatches that it is not a question of the veracity of the messages, but Is merely a question of suppressing all news not favorable to the govern ment. i Code Messages Prohibited, I "Code messages -are absolutely prohibited, pro-hibited, with the exception only of bank telegrams. "Newspaper correspondents were I given to understand that If they were detected in using subterfuges JL to evade the censorship they would JT find themselves In jail." 0 "The railroads ceased some time B ago carrying freight to the north, as I the limited supply of fuel oil on hand made It necessary to conserve It for I ' the "movement of military trains. "Considerable apprehension has been aroused In the capital by the ; movements of Emiliano Zapata, the rebel leader in the south, who, after , gaining undisputed possession of the state of Guerrero with the exception ; of the port of Acapulco, has shown p Indications of moving northward.
