Tomocnians' Last Struggle.

News Of the humiliation OF the Tomoc-
MEMS people who INHABITED a village
called Tomocnie, and who, it is said were
nearly pure Aztecs, has been received at FL
Paso, Texas. Tomocaie is situated on the
direct road TO Guerrero and Jesus Maria, in
the mountains of southeastern Chihuahua.
Mexico. and the people had been in open
rebellion against the State and Federal
Government for more than a wear on &C.
count OF excessive taxation exrortion by
Government officers, and Government in-
reference with their religious belief. Two
months ago the Federal Government sent
the 10th Battalion, in command OF Gen
eral Rauiel, to make the people paw the
tax required OF them and to accept
the Government officers appointed 10
taks charge, or to kill every one of them.
This alternative was openly boasted OF by
officers in Chihuahua before the troops
started for the town, and when the Tonoc-
MEMS heard Of it they decided TO d ght TO the
end, as they knew that even should they re-
ceive the soldiers peaceablY they would be
shot on the slightest provocation
When the soldiers made their descent on
the village, they were met and driven off
with theloss of twenty-five officers and four
teen men killed and two officers and forty
five men taken prisoners. The prisoners
were confined on top o. al adobe church.
General Ranjel was the only officer who es-
capped.
When the news of the affair reached the
ears Of President DaiZ, he decided to annihi-
late the village. Soldiers left Chihuahua and
formed junction with others from Pinos
Altos and Guerrero to the number Of
1900. Then an attack was made on all
sides. The TomocnenS who only num-
bered thirty-eight, took refuge with their
families in the church and awaited the
attack, which took place at about ten
o'clock in the morning. The attack
made on all sides and lasted until
dusk, when the soldiers gained an en-
trance to the church. Then terrible hand
to-hand fight took place, and the soldiers
completed the mas sacre. The report says
that 1868 of their number were killed and
many wounded
The village the next day presented a ter
rible view. The streets leading to the
church were strewn with bodies and flowing
with blood. Not a man of the Tomocniens
was left except those who happened to be
out in the mountains.
rich people in cattle and farms but the lack
of rain and failure OF crops had
brought them to poverty and they
were unable to endure the extortion
of the Government. They were very
hospitable and several weeks ago when
several parties Of Americans passed
through from Guerrero to Chihuahua,
they were treated kindly and we'll
cared for. though the Government
officials objected to their gong, they
saying that the Tomocniens were brigands
The feeling against the Government is said
to be very strong, and the affair is called a
second Alamo, destined to bring liberty to
the Mexican people.
