VILLAGE IS ATTACKED.
Armed and Mounted Bandits
 Do the Work.
VIESCA IS SCENE OF DEED
Police Force and Number of Citizens Offar Resistance and Three of the Number Lose Their Lives and Some Are Wounded.


 City of Mexico, June 27.-A band of armed and mounted bandits attacked the town of Viesca, in the state of Coahuila, just before noon Thursday. The police force of the town and a number of the townsmen fought the invaders and three men were killed and several wounded The bandits sacked and robbed the government stamp office.
 Vice President Corral, who is also secretary of the interior, assured the correspondent of the Associated Press that the assault upon the town was mere attack by bandits, who have become bold in that section, and that exaggerated reports giving the affair political significance were wholly unwarranted
 Three special trains carrying three battalions of rurales left the City of Mexico for Viesca. The Seventh regi- ment of infantry, under command of Major Cervantes, left Saltillo also. Un- official advices say that the town is now in the possession of 200 armed men. Viseca Is little more than a village, and is considered an unimpor- tant place. The telegraph wires have been cut, and no communication can be had with nearby authorities. It is reported that a portion of the railway track running into the village haS been torn up and bridge burned.
