Slaughter Follows a Desperate
Battle
BETWEEN INSURRECT0S
And 0rentals at Torreon, Mexico--Peo-
pie Shot and Stabbed Without
Mercy--Many Acts of
Cruelty.

Mexico City, May 23.-official reports
reaching here yesterday by eouriers, tell
the story of massacre of 206 Chinese
at Torreon, following the rebel oceupa-
tion of that city last week. Upon re-
eeipt of the news at the Chinese lega-
tion, the charge d'sffairs Immediately
made formal representations to he Mex
lean government.
The details received of the three day
battle and sacking Of the city of Tor
rem are replete with incidents of cruelty
and indicate that the rebel leaders did
not hold their men in control, but turned
them loose to prey on defenseless peo-
pie. The official advices do not give the
number OF the dead, but, taking the 206
Chinese as basis, it is probable that
the number is large.
The last day of the Torreon battle
was May 10. On that day, General Le-
iero retired with his federal forces and
the rebels entered the city. Citizens
found themselves utterly unable TO con-
troll the mob and reports received yes
terday indicate that scores of innocent
residents were added to the list OF vie
