TEN KILLED IN MEXICAN FIGHT
SERIOUS CLASH BETWEEN REV
oLUTIoNISTS AND TROOPS.
Town of Las Vacas Scene of an Ex
citing Combat, Which Lasted
Two Hours.

In a dispatch to the Department of
State the American consul at Ciudad Por-
firio Diaz. Mexico, reports that the fight
at Las Vacas. Mexico distant about three
miles from Del Rio. Texas. on the 18th
utimo. between revolutionists. robbers.
or whatever they may be considered, and
Mexican troops. lasted two hours and
that about ten persons were killed and a
larger number wounded on each side.
The residence of the captain of the
troops that defended the town was COM
pletely destroyed by the revolutionists by
fire and dynamite. Many houses were
badly perforated by bullets and several
Of the women of the town were wounded
Traces Of blood can easily be seen on the
streets and about the houses, indicating
that the battle was a considerable one.
The consul gives the following interest
ing account of Las Vacas and the sur
rounding country:
The Texas country between Del Rio
and Las Vacas and along both sides of
the Rio Grande is so completely covered
with underbrush that men can be easily
and unObservedly moved over all of it,
and but a few rods distant from the Las
Nacas ferry there Is place in the river,
which Is now very low, where men can
cross on foot. and number of places
where they can be easily crossed in fiat
boats.
Scene Of the Outbreak.
The town of Las Vacas is but a few
rods from the ferry mentioned and is
located on bluff of the Rio Grande
IT Is accessible in many ways. as there
is good road to it from the ferry and
no fences to prevent an approach to it
from any side. and the country about
1t is OF the kind I have described: as
excellent for the secretly moving for
ward of troops, even up to the rear of
its houses.
1t Is town of no Importance. with
only about 500 inhabitants, no business
houses worth mentioning or banks. and
I am reliably informed by resident Next
cans. that $4,000 (Mexican) would be a
fair estimate of the value of the money
and vaIuables of its people the day of
the attack. The majority of its houses
are one-story mud. square affairs, with
roofs Of dry grass. and but few Of them
have floors; houses easily destroyed by
fire.
The consul adds that the revolution
lists were put to flight that none Of
them had been captured up to the Both
ultimo. and that they carried away their
wounded.
When the consul wrote there were
$50 Mexican cavalrymen in the town, and
he expressed himself as confident that
they would be able to defend it against
any possible invasion.

MAY MOVE MR. CLEVELAND
Rumor Says Ex-President VIII Go

Still Other Gossip Declares His Con
ditiOn Has Taken a Change
for the Worse.

Lakewood. n. J.. May 3.-Inquiry at the
Lakewood Hotel, where former President
Grover Cleveland has been confined FOR
nearly six weeks with an attack Of rheu-
matte gout and acute indigestion, brought
forth to-day the same stereotyped reply,
that there was 'qothing TO say"
Mrs. Cleveland Tonight sent the fol
lowing word to the reporters:
4 have given out two or three state
ments about Mr.. Clevelands health
What I have said each time still holds
good. and there continues to be improve
ment."
During the day large number of peo-
pie drove up to the hotel in automobiles
and carriages, many of them personal
friends Of the Clevelands, and left their
cards.
For about an hour this afternoon Mrs.
Cleveland and DR.. Joseph T. Bryant took
a drive about the resort. but as soon
as they returned they at once entered
the hotel, and were not seen about agaia.
DR.. Bryant was expected to return to
New York on the SIS train, but he was
not noticed in the large crowd that
boarded that train when Il pulled out.
There Is a report current in Lakewood
that Mr.. Cleveland's condition has taken
a change for the worse. and that as a
result of this either Dr. Bryant or DIT.
Lockwood, of New York, would be at his
bedside from now on until he dies or is
removed to Princeton. Another story
current tonight, which cannot be veri-
fed, was that plans are now being made
to take Mr.. Cleveland TO Princeton on
Wednesday.
When Mrs. Cleveland returned from
Princeton last night none Of the chill
dren came with her. From this fact. it
was said that Mr. Cleveland's condition
is not serious, for if he was not expected
to live, his family and intimate friends
would be called 10 his bedside.
