INDIANS REBEL N MEXICO.
xhs People Of Jaqusls, Mex, in State Of
Terror Over Eassacrss BY Indians.
TOWN OFFICERS MURDERED.
Shops Sacked and Then Burned by the
Drunken Indians, Who Were In
csnsed at Being Taxed by
tho Government.

CITY OF MEXICO, April IA tele-
gram from Oaxaca City yesterday af-
ternoon stated that the rebel Indians
at the town of Jaquela killed all the
town councillors, school teachers, local
priests, chief Of police and the tele-
graph operator, in fact everyone hold
ing a government place. The people
are in terror. The Indians began their
plotting in holy week, instigated by
Indian lawyers, who informed them
the new state taxes were unconstitu-
tional, but the authorities paid no at
tentiOn to the excitement among them
considering they were engaged in their
usual druken celebration of the
season. But, procuring arms and
nachetes, they made rush for the
town hail, and the perfect hastily
closed the doors, which they soaked
with petroleum and burned. They
then effected an entrance, sacked the
place, and penetrating the private
apartments of the perfect, grossly
maltreated the women of his family,
and then, turning attention to the Of
felsls and armed servants, killed and
wounded several.
The scene was a horrible one as the
assault took place in the early even
ing, 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, buring down
the outside door with petroleum, which
also communicated fire to the entire
house, placing Collector Graciada, who
was on the roof with his clerks, in
most periious situation, but they man
aged 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
IN the approach of the soldiers, and
are now in the hills. The revolt is
local and will be suppressed. The in
stigstors of the Indians will be severely
punished, as they took advantage Of
their gross ignorance.

port Of Secretary Treasurer Patrick
McBryde, of the United Mine Workers

for 1894 the value was 81, 76s, $50 less
