MEXICO CITY, Mexico, May 23.-
Official reports reaching here today
by means of couriers travelling the de-
vious trails of the plains and noun
tains before arriving at telegraph
station, tell the story of massacre
of 206 Chinese at Torreon following
the rebel occupation of that city last
week. Upon receipt of this news at
the Chinese legation the charge DAT
flares Immediately made formal rep
reservations to the Mexican govern
ment.
The details of the story of the three
days battle and sacking of the city
OF Torreon is replete with incidents
of cruelty that show clearly that the
rebel leaders did not hold their men
in control, but that they deliberately
turned them loose to prey upon
conquered and defenseless people.
The official advices do not give the
number of dead, but taking the 206
Chinese as a basis, it is certain that
the number is larger
The last day of the taking of Tor
reon was May Is. On that day Gen.
Lejero retired with his federal forces,
and the rebels, glutted with two days
fighting, entered the city. Weaken
ed is they were, they found them
selves utterly unable to control the
mob, and reports received today indi-
cate that scores of innocent residents
were added to the list of victims
Always antagonistic to the yellow
race, the Mexican ebels and members
of the mob engaged in race riot. A
great part of the business of Torreon
is conducted by he Chinese, soma of
whom are wealthy, and according to
the reports received, the rioters shot
down or stabbed without mercy every
oriental encountered.
That the Chinese Charge dAf-
flares will be able to secure indemni-
ty for many of the victims of the riot
is doubted here, for it is a fact that
since Sir Chentung Liang Cheng Wis.,
tied this country five years ago and
advised his countrymen to become
Mexican citizens, almost all have TAX
en- out naturalization papers. |
Minister Of Foreign Relations De
La Barra had not received tonight
any word from Judge Carbajal that
Francisco l. Madero had finally ap-
proved the cabinet as suggested. So
soon as Madero's acceptance Of the
cabinet is received, it may be assum-
ed that President Diaz will present
his resignation to the chamber OF dep
uties. On the assumption hat this
acceptance will be made within the
next tweny-four hours, 1t has been
practically agreed that this most in
teresting document of the revolution
will be made public on May "a. No
effort is made now to disguise the
fact that President Diaz will leave
the country at an early date. T. is
expected that he will spend several
visiting Europe, and it is re-
liably reported that passage has al il
ready been arranged for him on one Of
the boats Of a French steamship line.

QUEER DISEASE
IN CALIFORNIA
Many Here Afflicted With Odd
Ailment, Says MunyOn.
Grewsome Creatures Very Common
In This State. Finds Expert on
Special Diseases.

Many California people are afflicted
with queer disease, according to a
statement yesterday by Professor
James M. Munyon. He made the fol-
lowing remarkable and rather grew
some statement: MANY persons who
came to my headquarters at The Owl
Drug company, San Francisco, think
they are suffering from simple stom-
ach trouble, when in reality they are
the victims of an entirely different
disease-that of tape worm. These
tape worms are huge internal para
sites, which locate in the upper bowel
and consume large percentage of the
nutriment in undigested food. They
sometimes grow to length of forty
to sixty feet. One may have a tape
worm for years and never known the
cause of his or her chronic i'll health.
persons who are suffering from
one of these creatures become nerv-
Gus, weak and irritable, and tire at
the least exertion. The tape worms
rob one of ambition and vitality and
strength, but they are rarely fatal.
"The victim of this disease is apt to
believe that he is suffering from
chronic stomach trouble, and doctors
for years without relief. This is not
the fault of the physicians he con-
suits, for there is no absolute diagno-
sis that will tell positively that one is
not victim of tape worm.
"The most common symptom of this
trouble is an abnormal appetite. At
times the person is ravenously hungry
and cannot get enough to eat. At
other times the very sight of food is
loathsome. There is a gnawing,
faint sensation at the pit Of the stom-
ach, and the victim has headaches, fits
of dizziness and nausea. He cannot
sleep at night and often thinks he is
suffering from nervous prostration.
81 have treatment which has had
wonderful success in eliminating these
great creatures from the system. In
the course of its regular action in aid
ing digestion, and ridding the blood,
kidneys and liver of impurities, it has
proven fatal to these great worms. If
one has tape worm, this treatment
will, in nine cases out of ten, stupefy
and pass it away, but if not, the
treatment will rebuild the rundown
person, who is probably suffering
from stomach trouble and a general
anaemic condition. My doctors re-
port marvellous success here with this
treatment. Fully dozen persons
have passed these worms, but they ar,
naturally reticent about discussing
them, and of course we cannot violate
their confidence by giving their name
to the public"

cisco, CAL, will receive as careful at
tention as though the patient called i
person. Medical advice and consulta
tion absolutely free. Not penny t

but the Topeka Y. w. G. A. and Y. M.

A. B. Whiting, Topeka merchant,
decided to leave permanent endow-

He selected $4,000 as the beginning
Of his endowment and then began
casting about for some plan Of invest

greatest income to the three institu-

Wonderful Mexico.

Mexico Is a country of wonderful 70
sources. As far as mining and agrt
culture goes It is superior TO some
good parts Of the United States. The
climate in some places is in many
ways about as fine as anywhere in
the world. With the right population
in Mexico 1t would mean train loads OF
food and minerals and billions of dol
largs for the rest Of the world. You
know long time ago Canada was
thought to be only fit fer furring,
fishing and trapping. and all the world
thought Canada was but a dreary
waste Of ice plains with plenty Of
mountains OF useless snow. But to
day you see where Canada is and
maybe in another ten years Mexico
will undergo a greater change In IL
self and in the opinion of the world
than has Canada.
