Societies of Monks.

CRY OF MEXICO, Dec. 25.-Further par
ticulars of the religious riots in Puebla are
to the effect that they were caused by the
enforcement Of a law against organ
lied religious bodies. It appears that
the priests aud students for the priesthood
had organized themselves into societies Of
monks in various places, and it was the ef-
forts OF the police 20 break up the or
ganizations that aroused the people.
The first Hrret took place in
CholOla last Monday morning. nine
priests being placed IN prison. The work
was done so quickly that the populace was
utterly ignorant OF what was going on
The order OF arrest had been issued by the
judge OF the district. Or the evening of
the same day, soldiers and policemen
entered the church of San Augustine and
arrested a number Of other priests and
students. AS The police and soldiers were
taking the prisoners TO prison rabble
gathered. filing the streets. and trying to
rescue the priests
MISSILES FLYING IN THE AIR.
All sorts Of missiles were hurled at the
officers and many of the rioters had pistols
in their hands. but owing to the coolness of
the officers, who kept their men under
strict discipline, only one OF the rabble was
shot and killed. while another was shob in
the leg, but a number were more or less
injured by tho horses OF "The Ruralss as
they forced their way through the mob.
About the same time another body OF
soldiers and policemen went Co the old
church OF the convent Of EI Carmen and
arrested eight or nine priests and students
who. it is claimed, had organized another
body of monks In that place. The
mob that gathered around these aud fol-
lowed them TO jail was nearly as large and
violent as the one above mentioned. Il is
said that one man in the rlbble was killed
as he resisted the progress Of the march.
The priests under arrest number seventeen
from the two converts OF Puebla and nine
from the old church.

THE MAYOR MANDAMUsED.
To Show Cause for Refusing to Sig
Redemption Bonds.

To SHOW Cause Tor Refusing to Sign
Redemption Bonds.
Yesterday petition for writ of mandamus
was filed by w. T. Chalk in the superior court to
compel Mayor White to sign the bonds for the
redemption of street grade scrip provided for by
what is generally known as the Blaine ordi-
nance. The bonds are payable within Eve years
out of the local improvement funds and are in
tended to replace the ordinary warrants issued
for street work. They bear per cent. interest,
payable annually, whereas the interest on scrip
is 10 per cent, but is not payable until the war
rant Is called in. w. T. Chalk il the owner of
several thousand dollars worth OF scrip, and he
desires to exchange it for the bonds which are
all ready for the mayors signature.
The court issued an alternative mandamus 70.
tarnable Augusta
Mayor White was interviewed last night - to
his reasons for refusing to sign the bonds.
HMy only reason is that doubt their validity.
don't believe that have the right to sign
bonds pledging the credit of the city beyond the
IL per cent. without such ratification by pop
ular vote as prescribed by the constitution and
re-afhrmed by consequent legislation. vetoed
the ordinance, but 1t was passed over my OBJ
jections.
al have no personal interest in the matter,
and IL the court orders me to sign the bonds
shall do 30 without putting the city to the ex-
pense of an appeal. expect that by the time set
for the hearing on Chalk the decision OF the
supreme court viii have been received, and that
viii determine my course The difference be-
tween the warrants and the bonds is this: The
warrants are payable out of tho street funds
only when the assessment has been collected
from the benefited property-owners, without
further assumption of liability, but the bonds
bear pledge on the part of the city to redeem
them out of the general fund at the expiration
of Ave years If there 10 no money in the local
Improvement funds"
