MEXlCO'S REVOLUTION.
The Regulars and the Insur.
gents Have a Fierce Battle.
The Mexican Troopers Defeated
With Heavy Loss.

A battle was fought, few days ago, near
Las Aninas, Mexico, east Of Guerrero, be-
tween 300 regular Mexican soldiers and 25O
revolutionists, in which thirteen soldiers
were killed and many wounded, and the
Mexican troops routed. Several OF the rev.
olutionists were also killed and a large mum .
Der wounded.
The revolutionists were COMMANDED by
General Estrada and the Mexican troops by
General Garcia. Captain Garcia, OF the
Mexican militia, has arrived in New Laredo,
opposite Laredo, Texas, with several o. toe
wounded Mexican regulars. .'"
The town of Guerrero was in danger OF
being captured by the reyolutionists. The
people on the Mexican side. are represented
as flocking to the standard OF General E]
trada because Of his victory at Las Anlmas.
The revolution Is sassuming more serious
aspect than 1T was thought it would at hrst.
There will be work for all the United States
troops that the Government can send to that
section, for they will be needed to protece
the interests Of Americans.
News was received from down the river to
the effect that the United States troops
under Lieutenant Hedekin AMI q posse
of United States Deputy Marshals,
under direction OF an experienced trailer,
were close on the trail Of the revo.
lutlonst party who captured the
Un!tad States. Deputy Marshals Guerrero
and Benavides, AMI felt SURE OF resculng tho
latter. Three companies OF the SeVentn
United States Cavalry arrived in 5aredo
and left next day for the lower river coun-
try.

had been done, and only nine Of the original
seventeen trustees were living Those nine
men were summo ned to the bedside Of the
dying Bishop, and were pledged by him to

Office work began anew, and over 81, OOO.OOJ
has already been collected for building the
cathedral besides the $3.50. 600 paid for the
three city blocks In the centre Of which the
e'iiace will stand. This property, lying be.
tween 10th and 18th streets, Amsterdam
owned by the Leake and Watts Orphan
House. Ii Is the highest ground on Man
haitian Island, and overlooks the country
for many miles.
As result of the prizes offered for the
best designs for the cathedral, the leading
architects Of the country submitted plans.
The design Of Helms and Lsfargs was chosen.
and George l.. Helms was declared the ar.
chitsct.. The cathedral, which, Is OF the
round arch Gothic type. with notifications,
will take about twenty years to build and
will cost about $1,000, 900. The first part
of the ediace tn be completed-the choir
will take several years to finish, and will
cost 81, ,O0C, 900. It will seat about twenty.
five hundred psople AMI will be used for
worship during the completion OF tho re-
mainder Of the work. The finished building
will seat between ten ami twelve thousand
people. In it will be seven chapels, in
which, every Sunday, the Gospel will be
preached in seven foreign languages to non
English-speaking worshipsrs.
The Cathedral Will be $40 feet In length,
296 feet wide through the transepts and the
height of the central tower will be 445 feet.
The width OF the main front will be 192 feet,
the height of tho front gable l64 feet, OF the
front towers 24s feet, Of the fanking towers
15S feet, and of the interior OF the dome a53
feet. The nave will be 90 feet wide and the

of st. John. The celebrated Cathedral of
Florence. which took from 1898 to 1444 to
build, is but 500 feet long and 306 feet wide,
and slightly smaller than the Cathedral to
be built in New York. The Cathedral OF
Cologne. begun about 1850 and finished in
1888, is 51t feet long, 23l feet wide, and the
towers are sl1 feet high. It surpasses the
Cathedral of 1T. John only in the height Of
its spires. The great Canterbury Cathedral
in England is 574 feet long AMI 159 feet wide,
being 1877 feet narrower than that OF St.
John the Divine.
The silver trowel and other implements
used by Bishop Potter in laying the corner
stone of the Cathedral were presented by
Tiffany &. Co. They consist OF trowel..
mallet, level and square, and the materials
used in making them were sterling silver
and golden ebony; the latter selected from
the choicest products Of tle California for
est., and remarkable for the beautiful gold
like veins running through the WOOD. 81.
The principal piece, the trowel, is. OF ster-
ling silver with ebony handle. The engrav-
ing of the inscription on the face OF the
trowel is an appropriate text, and a piece Of
art work in itself. The mallet Is Of golden
eoony with plain silver mountings. The
level, which is fifteen inches long. is also Of
golden ebony, while the spirit tube is set In
sterling silver, the square Is solid piece OF
silver modelled after a regular mason's
square, with all the correct measurements.
The entire set is incased in handsome oak
chest, size 17x16 and 81 inches deep. 1t Is
lined with oozei calf. The mountings lock,
handles, etc., Of the chest are all Of sterling
silver. Inlaid on top, in proper form, are
the arms Of the Diocese OF New York.
The instruments will be carefully storet
in ths property-room OF the cathedral and
used at the laying of the corner stones OF
any future building that may be erected in
connection with the cathedral proper,
Tnrouah the courtesy OF the New York
Recorder We are enabled to print the accom-.
paaying cut OF the new cathedral as 1t will
appear when completed.

When completed this cathedral will be one

structures in America. ....--
The ceremonies were held under tent,
which the severity OF the weather made
necessary, erected in the shape Of cross.
The day was particularly appropriate for
the laying OF the corner stone as 1t is known
in the church calender as the day OF st.
John the Evangelist.
The corner stone stool in the central
souars Of the tent under a peaked root
twenty feet high. Around it was built
platform four feet high on which were
Bishop Potter, the visiting bishops the
clergy of the diocese and prominent invited
guests. The platform could accommo late
exactly 10l2 persons and just that number
Of tickets wera Issuei. '...
Inside the tent was steam-heating plant,
and ten radiators mads the temperature
comfortable. Toe services began with q
procession 10 the platform, in the following
order:
The Church Choral Society, students OF
the General Theological Seminary, Trustees
Of Columbia College, Trustees of st. Luse,s
Hospital; ths clergy; Architect George l..
Helms; David Fl. King Jr. builder; Trus.
tees OF the Cathedral; the visiting Bishops:
Bishop Henry c. Potter.
AS the procession assembled the platform
passages from the Palms ware read by the
clergymen and bsaops. Then followed a
special service arran sed for the occasion by
Bishop Potter, in watch the musical fea-
lures, wnich were prepared by thu Rev. DR..
Huntington, were particularly elaborate:
An ad iress was delivered by the Right
Rev. Dr.. William Duane. Bishop of Albany.
The corner stone was then laid by Bishop
Potter, in which he use handso.ne silver
