I MEXICAN NATIVES REVOLT.

Surveying Party Wiped Out and Troops
Forced to Retreat. .3s
ST. Louis, May 21.-A special from
Ell Paso, Tex, says: Information has
been received here of a bloody local
revolt which broke out in settlement
between the towns Of Gaudaloupe
.Calvo and Varvagama, in the state Of
chihuahua, Mex, a few days ago.
The trouble began when the natives
living in the district attacked sur
yeyineg party under Captain Morrison,
an American, and killed 20 of the
party. The affair was reported to the
commander of Mexican troops at Par
raj, who Immediately started a de-
tachment OF 100 men to the
scene. Last Wednesday the troops
were assaulted by the natives
and the troops retreated, leaving half
of their number dead on the battle
ground. The appointment of the
American, Morrison, to survey the
government lands, which is now occu-
pied by native farmers, caused the
trouble. Morrison was to receive a
certain portion of the lands for his
work. The natives number about
1900 men, living in the district which
IS surrounded by mountains. Troops
have been ordered to Chihuahua to
quel the revolt. Morrison escaped.
