MEXICAN REBELS.
A Number of Towns Captured and
Sacked by Them.
The Leader OF the Force Is Fugitive
from Justice Named Amalla-Great
Excitement Prevails.

CHIHUAHUA, Mex. April 20.-A fugitive
from justice recently returned to his
native mountains and stirred up a large
force of ignorant, malcontents, outlaws
and religious fanatics and armed them.
He captured the town of Temaxachic,
near Guerrero, an important mining
town. Little resistance was offered but
three men were wounded and the town
was sacked. AmalIa then went south to-
wards Tomachica and had skirmish
at Santa Anna with 300 men, who sur
rendered, and afterwards Joined him.
The combined forces under the leadership
of Amalla then marched on the town of
Santa Tomas and captured it without re-
sistance. The rebels then took the town
of Guerrero, which was garrisoned by
volunteer troops, who surrendered with
out fighting.
At this point the federal troops came up
and the rebels fed to Santa Tomas, pur-
sued by the troops. The federal troops
were surprised at the latter place, and IN
battle that ensued 100 OF them were
killed or wounded. The rebels suffered
very little. The troops were completely
routed. Several officers were among
the number killed. Reinforcements OF
government troops arrived after the battle
and will attempt to defend Guerrero.
Great excitement prevails. As further
fighting is soon expected, business is at a
standstill.
A pack train of bullion from Jesus Maria
district was seized by the rebels early this
week, and every dollar confiscated. The
value of bullion is estimated at $40. coo.
Nothing has been learned since yesterday
of actual hostilities in eastern chihuahua.

THE SANTA FE STRIKE.
Temporary Injunction Granted by the
Courts Restraining the Strikers.
This Step Was Caused by interference.
with the Cooks Taking Food to the
Men in the Shops.

TOPEKA, Kan, April 20.-At O'Clock
last night Judge Hazen of the district
court granted upon application of the
Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Railway
company a temporary Injunction re-
straining the striking shopmen from in
terfering in the operation of the road, or
with the men who are at Work in the
set for May 1st. The company decided
when seven cooks who were carrying
meals to the shop hands were set upon by
strikers who prevented them from taking
the food in the shops. This incident and
fear that the additional force of new men
whom the company expected to put on
today might lead to a more serious col
lision, caused the company to appeal to
the courts protection. An hour before
Judge Hazen granted the order sixty nom
union men arrived from Pennsylvania to
take the places of the strikers.
The sheriff and tweDtynine deputies
started out this afternoon to serve notices
of the Injuctions upon the strikers.
Strikers will not take any pains to put
themselves in the way OF the officers, and
it will be some time before the work is
completed. New men went to work in
The shops this morning. The strikers
say they were employed under misrep-
resentation of wages. The strikers also
say that when the new men learned they
were coming to take the places OF strikers
twenty deserted the train at indianapolis
and that eighteen more refused to go tc
work this morning, and forty-three men
got off the train last night

RAYAGES OF A CYCLONE.
Many Lives Lost and Much Property
Destroyed in Mississippi.
A Family of Nine Imprisoned in the Ruins
of Cabin-The Wreck Takes Fire
and They Are Cremated.

MERIDEN, Miss, April 20.-A fright
full tornado crossed Jasper and Clarke
counties yesterday afternoon. The cy-
clone originated in Jasper county, thirty
ty-five miles south of here and travelled
in a northeasterly direction. A settle
ment OF negro cabins was destroyed and
many unfortunate inmates were crushed.
Colonel Berry's magnificent plantation
was swept clean, but fortunately none OF
the family was injured.
From this point to Barnett thirty miles
south, the storm was especially severe.
DIR. T. J. Grouse, one of the largest plan
tation owners OF the south is a heavy
loser. His son had his skull bruised and
his wife and daughter were slightly in
jured. A negro on the plantation named
Henry German with wife and nine chill
dren was imprisoned under the ruins Of
the cabin. A fire originating from the
kitchen stove slowly roasted the unfortu-
nate wretches.
Three miles east of Barnett the wind
struck a neighborhood OF farms. n. T..
Leggits' store was destroyed, and his
stock cf merchandise is now hanging in
shreds upon the branches of the forest
trees. His wife and children were buried
in the ruins, which caught fire, and
would have persisted but for the timely
arrival of neighbors. A little further on,
three negroes cabins were struck. Two
negroes were killed and several badly
wounded.
At the crossing of the Memphis and
Ohio tracks, north of Thuberte, the
storm created havoc as well as among the
negro cabins on different plantations.
Reports OF the damage are coming slowly,
but such as are received indicate awful
loss of life and property. All along thirty
miles the cyclone path is strewn with
dead carcasses of horses and cattle and al
descriptions of live stock, while the crops
are ruined. The loss will reach into
hundreds of thousands of dollars.
