Coventry Rises Up Against Clergy
and Tithe Rates.

l.
A cablegra,n from Coventry, England,
says: This antique town, rendered famous
chiefly on "Peeping TOMS" curiosity, IN
dulged in an anti-tax riot the other day.
For years farmers and property owners
have protested against the tithe tax, which
goes toward the maintenance OF the clergy
of the Church of England. No matter how
poor the crops the church must have tenth
of the valuation OF full average produc-
tion.
This year the church tax gather has had
a hard time in this vicinity. When the le-
gal sixty days expires the courts send bail
ifs. or deputy sheriffs, to levy on the farms.
When the sheriffs descended on one farm
last week they found that the owner mad
creased all his pigs, so that they slipped
through the hands of the baIliffs at every at
tempt, much to the delight of crowd that
witnessed the spectacle. The sheriffs gave
up the chase in disgust
To-day goods which had been seized were
exposed for sale in the market place.
Thousands gathered to the scene, and the
mob showed q determination to prevent the
sale If possible.
The auctioneer was man from Birm1ng-
ham. as no local auctioneer could be prA-
cured for the dangerous undertaking. The
auctioneer started to put up the goods, and
was just opening his mouth to state the con-
ditions of sale, when an egg, old enough to
vote. hit him square in the teeth.
The police closed around the auctioneer,
and after getting rid as far as possible OF
his impromptu lunch that individual made
another effort to address the crowd.
''Gentlemen," he cried, but he got no
further. This time it was cabbage stalk
which struck him on the nose, which began
70 o,J TIo
and, notwithstanding the protestations of
tithe collectors and police, who promised to
protect him from any further violence, he
made q break to get out OF the market
place.
Meantime the mob scattered through the
streets some of them, whose goods and chat
tells had been seized, recapturing the articles
and taking them home again.
Mexican Indians Revolt.
A telegram from Gdaymas, Mexico. says
that 200 Mayo Indians rose in rebellion and
attacked the towns of Naojoa and San
Ignacis. on the Mayo River, district Ala
mas. They marched against the town OF
San Pedro. but failed to attack it. The
Mayor of Naojoa was killed, and the princi-
pal places of business were sacked. At San
Ignacio the Chief of Police and his brother
were killed. Several inhabitants were Sc
verely wounded. The inhabitants of the
town bravely rallied, repulsing the Indians,
killing fourteen.
Governor Torres was notified Immediately
and the State troops were sent in conjunc-
ton with the Federal soldiers to pursue the
insurgents. The Federal troops, consisting
of a portion of the Twenty fourth Battalion
and the Eleventh Regiment, commanded In
person by General Bandala, commander OF
the Department. and General Otero, Chief
Of the Mayo section, intends to make vigor-
ct <ho Ind avo1
Hernandez is in charge of the State troops.
The Mayo Indians heretofore have been
peaceable, and the uprising is a great sur
prise 1t is feared they have made an alli-
ance with the Yaquis, who ara concentra-
ting all their forces for the prolonged fight.
Unless the Mayos lay down their arms on
the approach of the troops decree of ex-
termination will be promulgated against
them, the same as the Yhquis. The same
advice says at a recent engagement with the
Yaquis near Los Pilares, Chicohuilo Yaqui,
the chief, was killed and two of his children
were captured.
