Several Lives Are Lost.

Mexican Town-A right in Which
Several Lives Are Lost.
DEMING, n. NJ, Jar. lL-Couriers
from Ascension, in the state of
chihuahua. 100 miles south, report
a terrible uprising there Thursday.
For some time bad feeling has
existed between the adherents
of the church party and the sup
porters of the Diaz government Al
fairs reached a crisis Thusday when
the election of the president of the
town was held. Rafael Anchela, who
had twice held the office, was reelected
by few votes Anchela was distaste-
full to the opposition on account of his
efforts to inaugurate reform and
threats were openly made against his
life.
A bout 4 o'clock in the afternoon a
mob of over 100 men suddenly sur
rounded the city building and opened
fire. Anchela and his secretary, n.
Devalas, were instantly killed. The
mob took possession of the town after
hard fight with the friends of Anchela.
During the battle three revolutionists
were killed and many on both sides
fatally wounded. France Sanzo. one
of the leaders of the mob, was among
the killed.
The impression prevails that this is
movement in support of CARA. The
strength of the insurgents is reported
at eighty armed men. Troops are or
dered to the point of outbreak. In the
meanwhile the town is in the possess
sion of the mob and further bloodshed
is expected.
SAN ANTONIO Tex, Jan. 1.-The
startling information has been brought
here by J. c. Godfrey from Piedras
Negras, Mex, that there is a general
uprising in the states of Du-
range, Chihuahua, Coahulia and
Sonora. and that the maleon-
tents are well organized and will
flock TO the standard of CARA. He
states that in parts of Chihuahua the
poorer classes have already revolted
and are marching in bands of from 500
to 400 across the country, committing
depredations The objective point of
these forces is said to be Monterey.
The governor of Chihuahua has APP
pealed to President Diaz for more
troops to put down the rebellion.
