ANNIHILArION OF A RACE.
Horrible Massacre of the Temochians by

Horrible Massacre of the Temochians by
Mexican Government Troops.
The news of the humiliation Of the Te-
n.ochian3 IA people who inhabit village
OF Temochic, Mexico. and who are nearly
pure Aztecs, has been received. Two
months ago the Government sent the 10th
battalion, in command OF Gen. Ranjel, to
make tho people pay the tax required OF
them aud accept government officials APP
pointed 10 take charge or to kill
every one OF them. When the soldiers
made their descent on the village
they were met and driven of, with
twcnty-tao officers and fourteen mon
killed and two officers and forty five men
taken prisoners. When the news OF this
affair reached tho ears OF President Dlaz
he decided TO annihilate the village, and
last Monday the attack was made on all
sides. The Temochians, who only num-
bered thirty eight, with their families,
took refuge in the church and awaited the
attack that took place at about 10 o'clock.
The attack was made On all sides and the
slaughter was terrible At dusk the SOL
ders gained an entrance to the church
and terrible hand-t hand eht took
place, and the soldiers completed the mas
sacre, with 3GS OF their number killed and
many wounded. The village the next
day presented a terrible view. The
streets Of the little village leading
TO the church were filed with bodies,
and blood seemed To have flowed in tor
rents. Not man of the Temochians was
left except those who happened to be out
in the mountains, but the government has
paid dearly for its victory The Temochi-
ans were some time ago II very wealthy
people In cattle and farms, but the lack Of
rain and failure of their crops had brought
they to poverty and they were unable to
exist under the extortiol of the govern
ment and its petty officials. and were
brought near starv alton. The feeling
against the government is very strong. and
the incident has been called the second
Alamo, which will bring light and liberty
to the Mexican people as it did TO those Of
Texas.
