MEXICAN VENGEANCE.
The Wretch Who Tried to XIII President
Diaz Lynched by His Infuriated



City of Mexico. Sept. 1.-THE most
sensational ending to the attempt on
the life Of President Diaz occurred TINS
morning when Arnulfo Arrayo was
lynched by band Of the common peo-
pie determined on revenge. 1t was an
act Unprecedented in the history OF the
country.
AT o'clock in the morning number
of men belonging to the common people
forced their way into the municlpai PAL
ace, ascended the stairway. overcalne
the guards and made their way TO the
Office of the inspector general ana killed
Arnulfo Arrayo, whom they found
there.
The killing was a wild and savage
scene, and was followed by wlld ana
noisy retreat. The assistant chlet OF
police, who was sleeping In an adJoin-
Ing room. was awakened by the noise.
He arose and ran to the balcony, hrhg
his pistol as a signal for help. AT the
same time he called a policeman who
was in sight to make an attempt 10 de-
tain the lynchers. who We're making
their escape. The firing of pistols and
the whistle of policemen brought 9th
er officers. who succeeded in capturing
a score of persons. Ii was not long be
fore the inspector general and inspector
Nillavicencio arrived on horseback.
When the police entered the room they
found the body of the dead man lying
in the middle of the floor.
1t was literally riddled with bullets
and knife stabs. BY his side We're
found a door bar and several knives
and other steel instruments. An examl-
nation showed that the panes of win.
dow was broken The men who were
captured last night would not say any
thing.
At 2 o'clock was found group OF peo-
pie on one of the side streets Few
blocks from the Zocali. They We're
talking and discussing the lynching
They appeared TO know all about the
affair. and We're evidently in receipt of
knowledge as to its origin and inspira-
tiOn. bur when they We're approached
by reporters they suddenly became non
communicative. 1t may be thar the re-
port spread. or it may be that the peo-
pie intended to take vengeance upon
the assailant of the president.
When Arrayo was surprised by the
multitude he was sitting in a chair in
the northeast corner of what once was
General Carbellada's private Office,
which is now undergoing repairs.
There mixed with fragments of win
dow panes. was a long pool of blood,
marking the spot where Arrayo had
been stabbed.
The body was removed 10 the Fourth
Ward police station municipal build
ing, which is marked by trail OF
blood The gendarmes who were
guarding Arrayo We're unarmed. III
they had been armed they would have
fired on the mob. Over 200 people pen
etrated the building. When they sur
prised Arrayo he was in straight
Jacket. and could make no resistance.
He seemed too terrified TO speak.

Cabinet meeting, which lasted over Two
hours, the situation in Alaska was dis
cussed Secretary of War Alger had n
report from Captain Ray. who has Just
arrived at st. Michael. which furnished
the basis of the discussion and the

an urgent appeal for troops to preserve
peace and order during the coming win
ter. There are vast amount of stores
and supplies at st. Michael and there
Is not n United States soldier in the

After considering the subject it was
decided to send n company of infantry

retary Alger will arrange the detail I'M
mediately and he proposes to have the
company sail within II week, probably
from Seattle. He has not yet selected
the officer who will be placed in com
mand. nor does he yet know from what
post the company will be taken.
This action will be in effect the estab-
lishment of military post at the
mouth of the Yukon. The commanding
officer probably will be allowed great
discretion and latitude, as the purpose
in sending the troops there is TO pre-
serve order. Secretary Alger declines.
at present, to make public Captain
Rays report.
1t is understood that the administra-
ton will take some action looking TO
