INDIAN MASSACRE.
Store Was Looted and the Store
 keeper Killed.

Victoria, B. C., December 24.- The steamer Amur, which arrived from Skag way today brought news of the massa- ere by Pelly river Indians of Little Salmo Indians and the murder of a storekeeper. whose store was footed and burned. Dis patches from Dawson state that the Lit tie Salmon Indians were on their way out to sell furs when attacked by the Pelly Indians. The Little Salmons were en- camped and they awaited the appearance of the Pellys without expecting danger. When the latter were within short distance of the unsuspect,ng Little Sal mon Indians, they yelled and simulta- neously fired their guns. A number of Little Salmons were slaughtered on the spot. Others were followed and killed while they were fleeing for safety. A small number of the party escaped. Sur vivors returned to the home village and the women and children were hurrcd to the police post at Tantalus for safety.
 Little definite news was received re- garding an attack on the store which oc- cured on December 1, and vague reports received by the police state that the storekeeper was shot and killed, and his assistant, who was wounded fled to the woods but being unprepared for the cold probably died.

 ron the 22d inst. Reyes sent in his res ignation through the state department. He says as his name has been used in various connections to cause division in the governments policy, and as this has taken place just when the country needs tranquility in order to pass safely through current economical difficulties, he considers 1t duty. patriotism, exigency and self-respect to resign. He adds that this decision is, irrevocable, and also of- fers the resignation of his commission as general of division in the army. He expresses gratitude to the president of the republic for the confidence imposed in him, and renews assurances of his loy- alty to the person and policy of President Diaz."
 President Diaz in accepting the reslg- nation through Minister of State Mariscal says that General Reyes discharge of his duties of minister of war has demon strated ability and indefatigable zeal for the progress of the army. The president says he regrets Reyes decision, but, al- luding to alleged economical differences due to the fluctuations of Mexcos silver currency, he takes care to state that there is no reason whatever to apprehend any serious perturbation. He trusts that he may be able to utilize the minister's good service in some other capacity He declines to accept the minister's resigna- ton of his rank as general of division and expresses the hope that Reyes will army.
