Bishop Potter's health has for a long
time been far from good. but 1t was
not until early in the spring that his
condition began to cause anxiety
When on Easter Sunday he was un-
able to take part In church services. 1t
was announced that he was suffering
from acute indigestion. Later 1t be-
came known that he, was experiencing
an attack OF stomach and liver trouble.
and early in May It developed that
he was too III to think OF attending the

however. to allow OF his removal here

During the past few days the heat
had serious effect upon the bishop.
He is in his seventy-fifth year. his
powers OF resistance are impaired by
age, and he rapidly grew worse.
Reports from the bedside OF Bishop
Potter were somewhat more favorable
tonight. Indicating that the patient
would probably survive the night. New

L PAso. TEXAS, June ao.-The
first revolutionary outbreak
II in the republic OF Mexico. be-
yond the borders Of Coahuila.
occurred this morning at
o'clock. when the garrison at Palomas,
Chihuahua. seventy miles west Of this
city, was attacked by. band OF fifty
men. who were repulsed with loss OF
one killed and one captured.
There were fourteen guards sta
toned at the Mexican post when the
attacking party surprised the town.;
The most OF the ,insurrectiontsts were
armed with rude weapons and home
made implements OF warfare.
According to dispatch received here
from Columbus. N. NJ, across the river
from Palomas. Juan Correon, the
Mexican general. arrived there from
Palomas. bearing dispatches to his
government concerning the attack. It
began when bomb was thrown into
the telegraph once, thus shutting off
the fight which followed several hun-
Edred shots were fired and many bomb 8
thrown at the headquarters OF the off,.
GERS.
Trow bombs Away.
Owing to the fact that the bombs
were ill-timed, the officers were able
to throw them away before they ex-
ploded. thus saving the building and
their own lives. The fight lasted one
hour, after which the attacking party
fled to the mountains west OF Palomas.
One man was killed. but 1t seems that
he was non-combatant.
One revolutionist was seriously
wounded and captured. He speaks
good English. and the Mexican authork
ties think he is native of New Mex
leo.
This Idea Is confirmed by the report
of the section foreman from Mimbros.
seven miles west of here. to the effect
that a band OF from thirty to fifty
men assembled there yesterday. They
would not allow him to leave the yards
during the day. They had two large
bundles OF rifles and bought provisions.
They left Mimbros, a station on the
FL Paso and southwestern. about mid
night last night.
Customs Force Held In Reserve.
There Is a United States customs Of
flee at Columbus. and all the customs
force Is held in reserve in case OF pos

It is reported that an attack is plan
ned for tonight at Guadaloupe. in

fifty miles east OF Ell Paso.
Dynamite was discovered under the
residence of the Mayor OF Juarez to-
day, and the Mayor and his family
