Mexican Troops Arrive.
A telegram from Pueblo stated that

had arrived, as had also a corps of
Rurales. These, under the command
of Generals Luis Vale and Edurado
Cauz, were led against a house in
which the rebels were fortified. The
federal troops attacked the house,
shouting Long live the supreme gov

The Maderistas, as they have come
to be known, kept up hot fire from
the windows and balconies for some
time.

was the part played by women. Mrs.

police, was killed by the fire of the
troops. A number of other women in
the house appeared on a balcony and

rique G. Creel authorized the state
ment that he had no official informa-
ton as to the number of dead and
wounded at Pueblo, but that it was
fact that many had been killed and
that bombs and dynamite had been
employed by the revolutionists. The
trouble, he said, was confined to Pu-
eblo.
The plans of the revolutionists in
cluded an uprising in Mexico City
Sunday afternoon. 1t was the purpose
of the rebels to liberate the thousands
of prisoners in Belem, the famous
city Jail, and in the penitentiary.
Those plans have been effectually
frustrated by federal officers, who
have taken ample steps to preserve
order.
