MOST BLOODY.
REBEL INDIANS RAID A TOWN IN
MEXICO.
Killed Every Man Holding n Gov
eminent PIace-Scenes Were Most
Horrible Ones-Indians Led by
Those Who Should Know Better.

CITY OF MEXICO, April ia
telegram from Oaxaca city this after
noon stated that the rebel Indians at
the town of Juquela killed all the
town councillors, school teachers, local
priests, chief of police and the tele-
graph operator-in fact, everyone
holding government place. The
people are in terror.
The rebels began their plotting in
holy week, instigated by Indian law
yers, who Informed them that the
new state taxes were unconstitutional,
but the authorities paid no attention
to the excitement among them, con-
sidering they were engaged in their
drunken celebration of the season.
But, procuring arms and machetes,
they made a rush for the town hall,
and the project hastily closed the
doors, which they soaked with petro-
leum and burned, thus effecting an
entrance. They sacked the place,
penetrating the private apartments of
the project, and grossly maltreated the
women of his family; and then, turn
ing their attention to the officials and
armed servants, killed and wounded
several. The scene was a horrible one,
as the assault took place in the early
evening and the excitement of the
mob was indescribable. The mob Of
drunken Indians, after sacking the
town hall, went to the federal stamp
office and assaulted it, burning down
the outside door with petroleum,
which also communicated fire to the
entire house, placing Collector Graci-
ada, who was on the roof with his
clerks, in a most perilous position; but
they managed to escape by the rear,
jumping for their lives. Many shops
were burned after being sacked and
the Indians decorated themselves with
fnery They all fed on the approach
of the soldiers and are now in the
hills The revolt is local and will be
suppressed and the instigators of the
Indians will be severely punished, as
they took advantage of their gross ig-
norance.

mains, and medical men from several

of John Morley.
LONDON, April 13-Mr. Gerald Bal
four. chief secretary for Ireland, intro~
duced the new Irish land bill in the
house of commons today. 1t is of much
wider scope than that of Mr.. John Nor
ley, who was chief secretary for Ireland
in the late Liberal government and is
upon the principle of the purchase by the
occupying tenant being the ultimate So
luton of the land question. In introduce
ing the bill the chief secretary for Ireland
said the government believed that the
land question was at the root of the agi-
tation for home rule. The bill provided
to facilitate the purchase of holdings and
prevented the lessee from having rent
levied on his improvements. 1t embodied
the most nonsensious proposal of 1895
and modified others. 1t was proposed that
the tenants should be deemed, on the pay
ment of two years arrears, to be in just
possession of his holdings, leaving the
iandloard to recover the remainder of the
arrears in the ordinary way.
Continuing Mr.. Balfour said the gov
eminent had decided not to alter the
statutory term of fifteen years for fix
ing a fair rent.
