 Guayaquil. Ecuador. Dec. 14.-When General Paez and the government troops were entering Cueneca today with the rebels captured at the battle of Ayancay, a mob tried to rescue the prisoners, whereupon the soldiers fired and dispersed the mob.
 As the troops fired Colonel Vega. the rebel leader who was among those captured at Ayahcay, drew a revolver and killed himself
 The conservatives say that Vega was assassinated by the government troops.
 The death of Colonel Vega. who was a prominent figure in the conservative party. is deeply lamented
 In spite of reports tn the contrary the revolution against the government is not crushed. Despatches received here last night announced that rebel bands had appeared in the province of Gro and had occupied the towns of Santa Rosa. Machala and Pasaje.
 It is further asserted thaf ColonF' Larrea who was secretary Of war in President Garcias administration. has landed in the province of Orc at the head of q new rebel hand. and has oc- cunied the Umbes and Pera.
 The authorities here hurriediv or ganIzed an expedition to attack the rebels This force left Guayaqul for Maehala late last night on board the Ecuqdorian cruiser CotOYaXi. Fhe fra. ,r<. gvhfrh were under t." com'uaCd cf Colonel Manuel Serrano. n'fuiberTd 40G men, and took with them field guns and large quantity of ammunition

Huntsville to Send Agent Among Middle

 Huntsville, Dec. 14.-(Spectal)~- vile Chamber of Commerce for the purpose Of sending an immigration agent to the States of Ohio, Illinois and Indiana and spend several months teaching homeseei<ers in those States the advantages to be found in this part of Alabama. @
 Tie Chamber of coramerce has come to the conclusion that this is the best method of inducing new people to come here Several hundred dollars will be secured and former citizen of Indi- ana will be sent back afItonE his people as the agent of this city and county.
 At a regular meeting of the Chamber of Commerce last night. L. w. Sherrin of the Huntsville and Birmin gham Railway corporation made an address detailing the plans for the construction of the proposed new road. Mir. rSher- Till said that he line has been surveyed from the Tennessee River to Jefferson County, passing through Blount and Marshall Counties and that rights-0f- way for that distance have beef se- cured already. The heaviest grade along the line. even in the Sand Noun tain section, Is one per cent.
 All that remains to be done in the preliminary survey is to find a route from the river to Huntsville aud from the edge of Jefferson County into Bir- mingham. Huntsville business men will be required to subscribe $50,0O0 of the capital stock of the company. The proposition is a very attractive one, and after the holiday rush of business is oyer a committee of the Chamber of Commerce will begin work on it.
 At meeting of the Board of Stew ards of the First Methodist Church last night. all of the Indebtedness of the church was paid off and the congrega- tion will start the new year owing nothing, The First Methodist Church is the largest in the city and has membership of over TOO.
 The stewards of the Holmes Street Methodist Church held their first meet ing in their new church and elected A. G. Proctor, chairmani L. G. Sugg, treasurer, and G. N. Vaught Secretary.

Innnacted GnIA Mfnen.

The party which went with Capt. F. U. McCrossin to inspect the gold mine in Tallapoosa County has re- turned and the members al speak en- thusiaetically of what they were shown and express high hopes for the future
 The operations are being pushed on a large scale.
 The mining operations are located about eleven miles out from Alexander City, The property under development
 has about four hundred acres to it and
 is believed to be the richest gold lands
 yet discovered in the South.
 Approaching the base of the opera 1 tions is the stamp mill house. an en- l,ormons, we'll built, frams structure of an excellent quality of heart pine lum- her. dimensions about 60xS0 feet and
 about sixty-flve feet high, built on the sIoplng hillside, on solid stone founda- tion This building covers the machin- cry for milling and .seperating the gold from the ore by the cyanide process. 1t
 is most interesting sight to see the powerful crushers and stamps at work, with the ore pulp mixed with the so- lution of cyanide passing over the solid silver copper plates which gather the precious metal This machinery is of the latest, modern, up-to-date type. If is claimed to be utterly impossible for a single particle of the metal to escape. This mill will how work twen- tv tone of ore per day and is built Sd that it's capacity can be increased to forty tone. It is being run under the supervision of the uost experienced men.
 The assaying department is the most interesting, as it Is fitted up with the latest possible appliances and in charge of an expert who assays every foot oi tha vein as the work is carried on. The most interesting feature in this is that one can go down in the mines seleci any piece of ore that Re chooses to pick inn pulverize 1t in the usual hand nor tar and pan out the gold by hand which shows great quantities visible to inc naked eye. Some of this ore l assays as high as $7S ton, some oi
 it ssS, and some less All in in al1' tdn the |,

Violating Rexeume Law.

Many ruses are resorted to ty vio- yators of the internal revenue law -n thaIr enSeayors to haffle the federal aennties. That these tricks do not de- reive Uncle Sam's vigilant officers IS aratn proven in the destruction or a lwfjIi near Ridge, Fayette county, py Deputies Montgomery and Jones. pep utv Collector Montgomery was Tn ms office this morning with an interesting 2 story to relate of how the WorK Was aone and of the slick manner in which the owner had attempted to throw the officers off the trail. ,.
 The proprietor had expected visi. from the guardians of the law should hfa onerations become known, accord~ ing 10 Deputy Montgomery. and to save them the trouble of raid and htmself fhe annoyance consequent thereto ne had concealed his apparatus in the tuF- mace of tannery.
 pepusv Mon ntgomery says the man vvas ostensibly engaged in the teglu- ynate occupation of tanning leather bu' in reality, he was distilling whisKeS and wine. es
 The stiIl had a daily capacity of hf. teen. gallons. Besides the stNl ana appsratus 800 gallons of beer. twenty five gallons of whiskey. ten gallons ol low wines, five jugs, two oarreis, en. heer keg, one hoe and one saovel were destroved No arrests were made, but a warrant was issued for the appre- hension of a person near whose house the still is said to have been located. A well. beaten path ran from the still to thA house. says the officer. and the denutv says he feels reasonably sur that the warrant issued was for th' right man.

After the suh-Trenaury.

Birmingham is making strenuous ef forts to locate the new sub treasury to be placed in the South by the govern ment. A meeting was held this after noon by banking and ether interests and steps taken looking to an active campaign in the race for the sub- treasury. The matter -Till not come up before the Congressional delega@ tions to whom 1t was referred until the 7th oe next month. but Birmingham intends to be very active between now and that date and 1t is believed results will be obtained. Atlanta is consider ed the strongest competitor. It is. ex- pected here that Tennessee will lend its influence to Birmingham in locat- ing the sub treasury when it is ascer- tained that Memphis Nashville and Chattanooga can hardly be counted ia the running.
