sunerings OF Immigrants.
DETROIT, Sept. 1i.-Fifty or sixty immi-
grants who arrived at Windsor, Ont, to-
day over the Canadian Pacific from Que
bee are held there to await the decision of
the Detroit health officials as to whether
they can enter the city. Govern
ment Inspector Muiheron has decided
TO have them held at Windsor pend
ing a conference with the health au-
thorities tomorrow. Sixty immigrants
who were stopped at the border Friday
night have been released from quarantine
by the decision of DR.. Frank Wells, of the
state board of health. He says the quar-
antine restrictions apply only to those i'm
migrants entering America by Canadian
ports. These immigrants came through
New York harbor. Thi, release brings the
state and local boards into conflict.
Health Officer Dnffield says that under no
consideration can these immigrants pass
the river except by a decision of the local
board of health.
The situation of the immigrants in the
meantime is pitiful. Two cars we're side
tracked on the river bank at Walkerville
on Saturday night. and this morning they
nwoke fairly famished. But few of them
are possessed Of money, and they are in ii
fair way to starve. There is not morsel
of food on the cars, and not one has had
warm meal since Thursday. At O'Clock
hunger drove them out of the cars, and
they fiocked to the neighboring houses for
food. begging from door to door for what
they could get. As soon as their condi-
ton was made known a number Of kind
ladies went to their relief.

tinues. The election trouble in the same dis
trict occurring about the same time that the
political party under the leadership OF
Cruz Cheyez was organized, Gen. Ran
iet with the Eleventh battalion of in
fantry marched against them. Arriving
at Tomasche the troops were surprised by
the rebels several soldiers were killed, the
entire staft made prisoners and the bat
talon dispersed with heavy loss. The
government has q strong force in the
country, but the rebels have the advan-
tage
The latest reports have it that the
rebel forces are 500 strong and the govern
ment has sent over 800 men against them
and met with signal defeat. On w ednes-
day last Capt. Martinez and 500
men left Chihuahua for the scene of hos
tiiities. About l60 miles west of Chihua-
hua the regulars encountered the rebels.
resulting in the loss of Capt. Martinez and
forty soldiers. while the rebels came out
without the loss OF single man.
Last night two companies of government
troops left Juarez for the scene of action.
The government is doing all it can to
suppress the revolt, but the Indians in the
mountains have put to rout every adj
vance of the regulars without loss or
capture, and now hold as a hostage Gen.
Ranjel and staff. 1t is feared that this is
but the beginning. and that the success of
the Indians will encourage the dissatisfied
element of Mexico to engage in a general
uprising, and that the government will

ing for missing friends and relatives
added to the horrors of the scene. Most
of those on the passenger train were resi-
dents of places on the line of the Water
town branch, and nearly all working peo-
pie. 1t will be a difficult mater to iden-
tify some of the dead. Some were burned
to crisp and others were srighttuliy
mangled.
The rear brakeman Of the passenger
train, who shortly before the accident was
sent back to notify the freight train OF
danger ahead, states that he went back as
directed and signaled the freight
train, and the signal was ans
wered by two whistles, which is
the usual answer that all signals had been
seen and noted. The reason fog the COLI
sion. he feels sure, was that the engineer
OF the freight train could not control the
train. which consisted of thirty cars, the
greater part containing lumber and all be-
ing very heavy. Engineer Goodwin,
OF the freight tram, is in the
hospital, suffering from bad
shaking-up, but is not seriously
injured. He says: Gas soon as saw the
signals on the rear of the passenger train,
l reversed the engine. but the momentum
of the freight carried it into the passenger
train"
