ports reaching here by courier travers-
Ing the devious trails of the plains
and mountains before arriving at q
Telegraph station, tell the story of
massacre of 206 Chinese at Torreon
following the rebel occupation of that
city last week. Upon receipt of the
news at the Chinese legation the
charge a'affairs Immediately, made
formal representation to the Mexican
government.
The details of the story of the three
day battle and sacking of the city Of
Torreon is replete with incidents of
cruelty that show clearly that the reb.
81 leaders did not hold their men in
control or that they deliberately turned
them loose to prey upon the conquered
and defenseless people. The official
advlces do not give the number of
dead, but taking the 206 Chinese as
basis it Is certain that the number is
large.

Years ago and advised his countrymen

BY an immense majority the cham

Vldlng amnesty to political prisoners.
It becomes effective Immediately.
NO effort is made to disguise the
TACT that Gen. Diaz will leave the
country at an early date. It is ex.
peeted he will spend several months
visiting Europe and it is reliably re-
ported that passage has already been
arranged for him on one of the boats

Chinese Armed, Editor Says.
Eagle Pass, May 23-The Chinese
