tors assembled in the neighborhood OF
the parliament house, government Of
fees and palace, all of which were pro-
tected by the police. The efforts OF
the latter and the civic guard to dis
perse the people were fruitless. Fin
ally body OF mounted gendarmes re-
peatedly charged the crowd, greatly
incensing the demonstrators, who
hurled stones and other missiles at the
gendarmes. who thereupon discharged
their revolyers. This also failed to
scatter the crowd and the gendarmes

several rioters were wounded. Many
arrests were made Numerous win
dows and street lamps were smashed

Asks Diaz to Keep Mexican Band from

Las Vegas, n. NJ, June 27.--0ne OF
the most interesting and unique fea
lures OF the rough riders reunion was
the reception rendered Gov. Roosevelt

people Of the territory just before his

ing the course of which he made a
rather sensational statement to the eff
feet that he had been informed the
Spanish minister at the City of Mexico
privately but seriously objected to the
visit Of the Chihuahua band to Las
Vegas. His objection was based upon
the assumption that the act permitting
the band to visit this county and assist
in celebrating the ylctCry over the
Spanish arms could not at least be con
sidered a friendly attitude toward the
vanquished nation. The Spanish min
lister waited upon President Diaz in an
informal way and stated his objections
President Dlaz was not Of tho same
opinion, however, and allowed The
band to come to Las Vegas Martinez
as spokesman in behalf Of the native
people of New Mexico, expressed
hearty sympathy with the cause of the
rough riders and rendered Gov. Roose-
welt his best compliments. Roose-
welt responded in his usual happy vein
