For every dollar of gold and silver coined

ALVAREZ WAS FIRM,
He Forced Gen. TrevinO to Abandon
His Movement ON Piedras Negras.

His Movement On Piedras Negras,
GALVESTON. Tex. Aug. IA special
from Eagle Pass to the News says:
Yesterday morning 100 armed men made
their appearance above Pedras Negras and
325 men under command of Col Trevine
were seen in the valley below the town.
Maj. Alvarez in command of the federal
troops, wired President Diaz that a large
body Of armed men were about to make an
attack upon the town. The president wired
to resist the attack.
Upon this Alvarez. with about fifty SOL
diers and sixty citizens. went to meet Ire
vino. and held conference with him and
showed him his authority from the City OF
Mexico.
Trevino replied that they had come to
take charge of the town and put orr
GERS in charge: that 1t was the intention
of the people to have fair election and
that II was impossible to effect this under
the present arrangements. He also de-
manded that the political prisoners now
being held at Piedras Negras be released
without the formalty of a trial
Alvarez replied that he would forcibly re-
sist the capture of the town.
Trevino finally ordered his men to retire
to Little river. assuring Maj. Alvarez that
he did not desire to come in contact with
the federal authorities, and then ordered
that the state be placed under martial law
until after election. But for the firm stand
taken by Maj Alvarez with his handful OF
troops, Piedras Negras would now be in the
hands of the Cardenas faction. The senti-
ment of the people seems to be largely in
favor Of a change in the state government

2. The first player bowls his ball or balls
up the incline at the tower in the center of
the table, when ii will strike off at a tan
gent. and, II successful, lodge in one of the
holes. The act of doing so will release the
corresponding flag, which will fly up the

down the incline are dead
4. When the player has played all his
balls the next in rotation follows in like
manner.

can be varied to suit the taste or conyen-
fence of the players.
