CITY OF MEXICO April H. A tele-
gram from Oaxaca City states that the
rebel Indians at the town of Juquela
killed all the town councillors, school
teachers, chief Of police and the telegraph
operator-in fact, every one holding gov

The military movement made against
the rebel Iimatlans has resulted in drlv-

began their plotting holy week, instigated
by Indian lawyers, who informed them
that the new state taxes were unconstitu-
tional, but the authorities paid no atten-
tion to the excitement among them, con
siderlng they were engaged in their usual
drunken celebration of the season.
Procuring arms and machetes the In
dians made a rush for the town hall, and
the project hastily closed the doors, which
they soaked with petroleum and burned,
thus etfecting an entrance. They sacked
the place and penetrated the private apart
ments of the prefeot grossly maltreated

assault took place in the early evening
and the excitement of the mob was indie
scribable. The Indians were possessed
with fury, and it was absolutely impossi-
BILE for respectable inhabitants to control
them, as all were drunk and maddened.
The mob 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 Gra-
ciada, who was on the roof with his clerks
in a condition of the utmost peril, but they
managed to escape by the rear, jumping
for their lives Many shops were burned
after being sacked, and the Indians deco
rated themselves with stolen finery. They
all fled on the approach of the soldiers, and
are now in the hills. The revolt ia loca
