ANARCHY IN SPAIN.
The Town of xeres Nearly Sacked by
Ruffians.

The town of Xeres, Granada, was
attacked bya party Of anarchists and
marauders last Saturday night. A con-
slant fire was kept up all night between
the marauders and the gendarmes. In the
morning the attacking party retreated, but
thirty of them were captured.
The rioting seems to have been moro
serious than ut first reported, and tho po'
lice story to the effect that tho town was
attacked by band of anarchists is con.
firrned. The latter 1t seems from tho
later details received were armed with
shotguns, old guns. bludgeons, knives tied
to poles, etc. They entered the town at
various points, shouting "Hurrah for an =
archyr' This action upon the part Of the
anarchists attracted all the rough charac-
ters of the place about them and helped to
swell tLcr numbers 10 considerable cx-
tent.
Finally several bands of desperate char
acters, led by the armed anarchists, met,
evidently by previous agreement, in front
the theater, where they created wild dis
turbance, shouting seditious cries and de-
flying the authorities. They knocked
down and robbed number of onlookers,
kicking and otherwise maitreating all who
refused 10 Join in their riotous conduct;
plundered several stores, robbod number
of private houses, and for time struck
panic into the heart OF the town
The rioters continued their rioting
through the streets for some time and until
the authorities had recovered from the
paralysis into which the raid had thrown
them. Then they fled before the troops.

BLOODY FIGHT IN BRAZIL.
A Rebellion Against New Governor
Suppressed by Killing Thirty
People.

The United States and Brazil steam
ship Zeguranca, which arrived at New
York last week from Brazilian ports brings
a terrible story of suffering and death both
from yellow fever and bullets at Pernam
buco, Brazil An epidemic OF yellow fever
with a terribly high rate of mortality has
been raging at Santos for some time.
The Zeguranea brings the first informa-
tion of n bloody encounter between the
government troops and the people of San
tos in which number of lives were lost
On December nth the government sent 0
military governor 10 Pernambuco to re-
place the former governor of that place.
The people regarded this as an act of tyr
amy and oppression. When the military
governor appeared on December Goth, sur
rounded by troops, the revolutionary feel
ing OF the people broke loose and the storm
was soon raging.
The soldiers endeavored to disperse the
citizens and were pelted with stones and
other missiles. The order then came TO
fire on the people, and at the first vollcy a
dozen citizens fell dead, while u number
were wounded The revolutlOnists gave
way, but quickly gathered renewed cour-
age and prepared to make desperate re-
sistauce The troops charged upon and
drove them from street TO street, many OF
the citizens falling, pierced by bayonets OF
bullets.
\ pitched battle took place on one of the
plazas, and the din OF nusketry,
coupled with the cries OF the wounded and
dying, filed the air. The citizens stub
bornly resisted but tho trained SOL
diers were too much for them. When the
tumult finally subsidized it was found tha ,
thirty had been killed outright, and sew
enty fve or Que hundred wounded.

As the officers Of tho prison were about
TO shoot MARTINEZ, he suddenly drew n
long knife, which, as quick as lightning he
attempted TO plunge into the brest OF Ca,
brera. The latter sprang backward, re.
ceiving the knife OF his assassin In the
muscles OF his left arm instead OF the
breast. Cabrcra's hat fell on and the sol
diers who took up the pursuit, nearly bay

II was he was cut In the neck.
NJ ,rtinez, finding that II was useless TO
pursue Cabrera, jumped into small ditch
and ran toward one OF the walls that is In

gun in the hands OF soldier. This did
not stop him, aud he reached the wall,
which he desperately attempted TO scale
but was baked. Major Manuel Gutierrez

DEATH lin A COAL MINE.
More than One Hundred Men Killed
by an Explosion.

A terrible explosion OF gas in coal
mine at Krebs, Oklahoma, is reported to
have taken place on the 1th.
AT the hour of the explosion, 3 O'clock,
there were, as near as can be learned, about
400 men in the mine They were the day
shift and were just preparing to ascend
when the explosion took place. Six men
who had already been hoisted in the cage
had lust stepped onto the platform at the
side of the shaft. The cage was blown
through the roof of the tower and fifty feet
into the air. A tongue of flame shot up
the shaft and above the ground fully
100 feet, which was followed by . terrific
report which was heard for miles around
and which shook all the neghboring coun :
try 80 violently that people in the sur
rounding mining towns four and five miles
distant thought an earthquake was rocking
the ground.
The air shaft, the only means of escape
for the entombed miners, was the point
where the relatives of the miners congre-
gated. Many of the miners were able to
make,their way out of the tomb and they
were welcomedat the surface by their wat
ing friends
One man, with broken leg, climbed all
the distance OF 400 feet through the mir
shaft and fell unconscious as he reached
the surface, Others, who were too terri
bly, burned, labored painfully up the ladder,
strips of flesh falling from their hands and
arms as the grasped the ladders rungs. 1t
is believed that fully one-half Of the en-
tombed miners escaped by the air shaft.
Many, however. received mortal injuries.
