ST. LOUIS, Jan. 10.--A special fro m
Deming, N. M, says: Couriers from
Ascencion, state of Chihuahua, 100
miles south, report terrible uprising
there Thursday. For some time bad
feeling has existed between the ad-
herents OF the church party and the
supporters of the Diaz government. Af-
fairs reached crisis Thursday when the
election OF the president of the town was
held. Rafael Anchele, who twice held
the Office, was elected by a
few votes. Anchele was distaste-
full to the opposition on account
of his efforts to inaugurate reform, and
threats were openly made against his
life. About O'Clock in the afternoon
mob of over 100 suddenly surrounded
the city building and opened fire. An
chela and his secretary, M. Devalas,
were instantly killed. The mob took
possession of the town after a hard
fight. During the battle three revolu-
tionists were killed and many on both
sides fatally wounded. France Sanzo,
one of the leaders OF the mob was among
the killed. The impression prevails that
this is movement in support of Cara.
The strength of the insurgents is re-
ported at eighty armed men. The town
is in possession of the mob, and further
bloodshed is expected.
WIDESPREAD REVOLT.
ST.. LOUIS, Jan. 10.-The Republic
San Antonio special says: The startling
information was brought here tonight
by J. @. Godfrey from Piedras Negras,
Mexico, that there is general uprising
in the states Of Durango and Chihua-
hua, Cohahuila and Sonora, and that
the malcontents are we'll organized and
will flock to the standard of Cara. He
states that in parts of chihuahua the
poorer classes have already revolted and
are marching in bands Of 800 and 400
across the country, committing depre-
dations. The objective point OF theee
forces is said to be Monterey. The
governor of chihuahua has appealed to
Diaz for more troops to put down the
rebellion.
GARzA is NOT SLEEPING.
Garza's revolution in this section has
furnished no startling news for several
days, but this is no indication that the
leader has abandoned his plans or that
the support of his movements by the
people along the border is waning.
When the troops have succeeded in rum
ming on to the revolutionists, the latter
have scattered only to meet at some
point, probably hundred miles dis
tant. When it is taken into considera-
ton that the country is sparselv settled
and water found only at dis
tances from twenty to thirty miles
apart, some idea is gained of
the difficulties which confront the troops.
While unable to capture Cara, their
ceaseless vigilance has frustrated his
plans of organization and necessitated
the shifting of the scenes OF his enter
prise to another qnarter. Many who
would have joined his ranks no doubt
have been deferred by this exhibition of
force on the part of the American gov
eminent, and the fear of arrest and trial
in the federal courts.
THE LULL BEFORE THE STORM.
At present all is quiet, but parties
who know are satisfied that 1t is the
lull before the storm, and in few days
the ball will be reopened. Lieutenant
Knight, in command OF Company l,
Third cavalry, is stationed at Cariso;
Lieutenant Black with Company A,
Third cavalry, is at Pare de Vid, and
Captain Hardie at Salierno.
A constant and efficient system of cour-
iers has been organized. Each company
now has guide and trailer. and if any
thing turns up each company is ready
to move at a moments notice. Colonel
Martin, an assistant at the general mill
tary headquarters, today received
query from Captain Wheeler at Fort
Ringgold, asking if he had authority to
arrest without regular warrants, or hold
without evidence prisoners suspected OF
having violated the neutrality laws. He
was told to arrest all suspects and turn
them over to the United States mar
shals.
AN ARMED BAND IN DURANGO.
EAGLE PASS. Tex, Jan. 10.-It is re-
ported that band of 200 armed men
were seen in the mountains of Durango
above Laredo. Active preparations are
being made TO intercept them. Five of
the gang have since been captured by
"rurales." 1t is mol known whether
they are gang of robbers or con-
tingent of the Cara party.
